Why we read it this way (7)
The role is titled 'ERP System Admin and Security Analyst' — it splits roughly evenly between ERP/systems administration and security configuration/access management. 15-1244 (Systems Administrators) was chosen as primary because the day-to-day work centers on administering and configuring the ERP platform and cloud resources; 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) is a credible runner-up given the explicit security access and configuration duties.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's or Master's degree … or equivalent experience,' so no minimum degree is hard-gated.
The 2–5 year experience range is stated specifically for ERP systems (Workday); the overall years minimum is set to 2 (the lower bound).
Experience with ERP/DW/BI implementation is described as 'strongly preferred,' so DW/BI is marked preferred.
Directory services and auditing tools are mentioned in the essential functions as associated applications to support, but are not explicitly listed as required qualifications — marked preferred.
The posting is for an in-person (onsite) role at the City of Philadelphia; candidates must become Philadelphia residents within six months of hire.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): cloud administration.
