Why we read it this way (8)
No work location or metro area is specified in the posting; the '#LI-Hybrid' tag indicates a hybrid on-site/remote arrangement but no city or region is named.
The 5+ years of experience requirement is stated broadly across IT, infrastructure, identity, endpoint administration, security operations, or cybersecurity — not tied to any single technology.
Active Directory, Entra ID, Microsoft 365, Azure, Windows, and Intune/MDM are listed under a 'Strong working knowledge of' heading in the Qualifications section and are treated as hard gates.
SSO, MFA, and conditional access are called out with firm language ('Implement and refine') in the Key Responsibilities section and are treated as hard gates.
EDR, SIEM, vulnerability management, email security platforms, secure software development, IoT, and AI tools appear under a 'Familiarity with' heading — explicitly softer language, so they are marked preferred.
Dynamics 365, hybrid identity environments, and multi-site/global org exposure appear under a 'Preferred Exposure' heading and are marked preferred.
NIST CSF 2.0 and ISO 27001 are mentioned as framework context for the role rather than as gated technical skills; they are marked preferred to reflect that framing.
No compensation range is disclosed in the posting.
