All qualifications are framed as 'preferred' in the posting (e.g., '4-8 years of experience preferred', 'BA, BS or equivalent experience preferred', 'Advance Degree preferred'), so no hard degree gate exists and the overall years minimum is set to the lower bound of the preferred range as the best available signal.
The job title carries no seniority level word; the 4-8 year preferred range and scope (small-to-mid-sized initiatives, works within a matrixed team) align with a Mid-level role despite the relatively wide salary band.
Location is not explicitly stated in the posting; Cardinal Health is headquartered in Dublin, OH (Columbus metro), which is the most reasonable default.
Google Cloud is listed alongside AWS/Azure as common cloud platform alternatives, though the posting specifically names Google Cloud.
