I'd take the opportunity to call one of the recruiters in the advert and have a proper conversation with them about what you are looking for.
Not to belittle what you've achieved, but a masters and a year or two of experience is "table stakes" in the DM world and so everyone else applying has at least the same as you (if not more experience), so you need to stand out and that won't come from just hitting "apply quick" on LinkedIn and sending the same CV/resume.
