Question

"The job Y demands familiarity with Z."

How do you say the above sentence, when the familiarity with the product Z is not necessary, but helpful as a part of job Y?
Just to give a little context, the previous sentence is:

"I have worked as X and Y. The job Y demands familiarity with Z."

For clarification, let's say X and Y are professional positions and Z is a product. And the purpose of the writer is to say that the job led to learning Z.

I think you've veered a bit toward the end of your question from what you'd initially set out to ask, which is:

How do you write the above sentence, when  familiarity with Z is not necessary, but helpful as part of Y?

In which case I suggest rephrasing the sentence thus:

Familiarity with Z facilitates Y.

Or perhaps,

Familiarity with Z nicely complements Y.

I hope you realize this is different from Y leading to learning (about) Z.
The cause-effect relationship is inverted in the latter.
