The submitted job description was vague, using broad terms without detailing the specific day-to-day tasks, making it impossible to determine if the role was truly managerial rather than operational. Additionally, the provided business plan suggested the company's owners, not the beneficiary, would be responsible for the day-to-day management of the business.
