Is there a simple way to make a service require that a specific network

I have a manually set up bridge and dnsmasq configuration for my VM
traffic, but dnsmasq is getting started before NetworkManager has
configured the bridge and failing because it cannot bind to the bridge's
IP address.
Thanks to all for your responses. It looks like dnsmasq's (somewhat
hidden) bind-dynamic option will work for my use case.
I am a bit surprised to find that systemd doesn't provide a way to do
this, nor does it appear to be seen as a desirable feature. To me, this
seems like exactly the sort of asynchronous, event-driven behavior that
I would consider to be "the systemd way".
(In my case, I would be waiting for a private VM traffic bridge, so the
NetworkManager or systemd-networkd "wait to be online" targets aren't
what I'm looking for.)
Thanks again!
