Seeing a lot of “Lead Director” titles in big pharma. What actual level is that?

At my big pharma, that could really be any level above director since that’s their business/position title. My position title has lead in it, instead of Director of XYZ it’s XYZ Lead. They could have hired someone at the Senior Director level for the same position if they could get the budget for it.
