Why we read it this way (5)

The title 'Senior Technical Functional Analyst' is advertised as Senior, but the hard requirements (3+ years of experience, application configuration, ITSM) align more closely with a Mid-level role on a standard career ladder.

ServiceNow is not explicitly named in the Required Qualifications section but is clearly the central platform of the role (named throughout the description and responsibilities) and is the primary subject of the 2+ years preferred qualification; it is treated as a hard gate given the role's entire scope is ServiceNow platform delivery.

ITIL knowledge is implied as required through the 'Analyzes and understands ITIL processes' responsibility and the 3+ years ITSM requirement, while ITIL v3/4 certification is explicitly listed under Preferred Qualifications.

Agile experience and test plan creation appear only under Preferred Qualifications.

No specific office location is stated beyond 'hybrid, 3 days/week in office'; MetLife's primary US headquarters is in New York, NY — CBSA assigned accordingly, though the actual office location is not confirmed in the posting.
