Why we read it this way (5)

The posting requires U.S. citizenship ('Must be a U.S. Citizen'), but does not gate on a specific security clearance level — applicants may be subject to a government security investigation, which is framed as a possibility rather than a hard pre-existing clearance requirement.

Federal agency experience (HHS or similar) and the Microsoft Identity and Access Administrator Associate certification appear under 'Required Skills & Certifications' but read more as strongly preferred context for a federal contractor role than strict rejection criteria; they are listed alongside items framed with 'familiarity with' and 'experience with', so they have been treated as preferred.

ITIL Foundation Certification is listed under 'Required Skills & Certifications' but is framed alongside clearly preferred items (PowerShell familiarity, MECM/Intune experience); given the mixed framing of that section, it has been treated as preferred.

MECM and Microsoft Intune are presented as interchangeable alternatives ('MECM, Microsoft Intune, or hybrid cloud identity solutions') and are captured as a single preferred skill with alternatives.

No compensation range is stated in the posting.
