I think it was fine as it was - to say that the role will suit someone
who is young may be presumptuous, but isn't discriminatory.

To be really finicky: if you'd said that the job would *only* suit young
people, that might be construed as discriminatory, but even then that's
not saying you'd not employ someone who isn't young, only that you'd
expect the job not to suit such a person.

Cheers,
