Yes it is OK. But simply being a manager is not necessarily an acceptable profession.

A BDM is not a qualifying "Manager".

Find someone else who qualifies.

As long as you have been physically in the UK on the day five years back from your application then that's fine - travel either side is not an issue (except you need to count the relevant days away).
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
