Quick backbone note: this posting reads almost identical to the non-lead version. If they don’t list actual lead duties (coaching, QA, workflow ownership, escalation authority), that can mean two things: either they’re moving fast and posted a rough draft, or they want “lead” responsibility without “lead” clarity. If you apply, be ready to ask what makes it a Lead role in practice.

If you’re ready to take ownership, drive approvals, and be the steady hand when denials hit, make your move.

Happy Hunting,
