You might need to quit your current job for the new position to be listed, since it's in the same career.

Imagine that in the real world, some low-level grunt going into the boss's office like "I quit!" and the boss saying "Great, now we can offer you a position where you're my boss's boss and could fire me without a second thought! And we'll give you a huge raise and a bonus. Whaddaya say?"
