SOC 2431 (84% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £50,200, and Google is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
In 2025, Google assigned 46 or more Certificates of Sponsorship for SOC 2431 jobs, according to the Home Office.
This could also be SOC 2440 (Business and financial project management professionals). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
New graduate or PhD holder? Pick one of the lower rates.
| Occupation code | New entrant 70% of going rate | STEM PhD 80% of going rate | Relevant PhD 90% of going rate | Standard rate 100% of going rate |

2431 Management consultants and business analysts Most likely code | £35,100 | £40,200 | £45,200 | £50,200 |
2440 Business and financial project management professionals Also possible | £39,500 | £45,200 | £50,800 | £56,500 |

Not necessarily. Google holds a sponsor licence, but sponsorship for a specific hire is always the employer's decision. In 2025, Google assigned 46 or more Certificates of Sponsorship for SOC 2431 jobs, according to the Home Office. Be upfront in your application that you'll require it.
The offer must clear both the general threshold and the SOC 2431 going rate of £50,200. New-entrant and shortage discounts can lower it.
