Technically, any options accepted in systemd.timer are possible:
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.timer.html#Options

For instance, RandomizedDelaySec= might be an interesting one you
might want to use.

AccuracySec= is also one you potentially want to look into, if you
care about the accuracy of the time at which your command will run.
