SOC 2440 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £56,500, and PHOENIX GROUP MANAGEMENT SERVICES LIMITED is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 1139 (Functional managers and directors not elsewhere classified., Senior programme delivery role with strategic partnership focus could be functional manager) or SOC 3556 (Sales accounts and business development managers, Strategic partnership and trading objectives suggest business development focus). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
