Sister interviewed with a firm and hiring manager said they need to make sure role contains enough substance for what she wants and a functional title revisit may be needed. What does that mean?

They may be questioning the fit.

That seems like a lot of explanation for questioning fit. I’m wondering if as the manager has gone through the process he realized there isn’t enough work in the current position and wants to increase it.

They've already given her a verbal offer and she was asking more about what other things she could do in the role. She wanted to see if she could also do some programming in an otherwise corporate strategy role. The hiring managers's response then started from there, including "role is what she'll make it to be". Seems they also expanded the scope so instead of focusing on area A, she'll also be doing areas B and C.

If they're questioning fit, then is there a chance they'll rescind the offer?

Do I push more for the person I want or will I cause an issue with the hiring manager? How do I get her to see this person’s value?
