SOC 2493 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 57% sure that is the right code. University of Southampton is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
This could also be SOC 3554 (Advertising and marketing associate professionals). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
