So...they failed to rehire a head of my workgroup and I'm the most senior person on the team. Is it inappropriate for me to refer to myself as the Interim Head of X in interviews/on resume/on LinkedIn?

On your resume you could probably get away with it, but if you haven’t been designated that by your company I would leave it off of LinkedIn

I would not use that title

You can say that you are operating as an interim head (if you are)in interviews. Also present is as a sub heading to your actual title. Head of anything , interim or otherwise is an official position. You should not misrepresent that. Senior most person doesn’t automatically make you the leader of any group

Are you doing the work of the head? Like attending the meetings they did, organizing the work of the group, etc? If not, you really can't make that claim in any honesty.

Yes I am - I’m kind of (unofficially) managing the rest of the team, taking lead where the former head was, doing their work, etc
