Dream (I think) Job Isn’t Posted Yet?

I have been working at my first role in a leadership development program (F&A) for about a year and a half now. Recently, I have begun searching for my next role as I don’t think the company is the best fit for me. When speaking with a newer friend of mine, I learned he works for a large company that I’m very interested in and in a role that would be perfect for me (exactly the type of work I enjoy) Hours, salary, commute, hybrid workplace and everything else about the role sounds perfect as well. I’m a little light on experience (2 years preferred) but have 4 internships and a masters degree from a good school. My friend as well as an acquaintance wrote me referrals for the role and I had a chat with HR who told me I would be a good fit. I also know through my friend that someone was recently promoted out of the role I want. HR said they would contact me when the role is posted but not sure if they would follow through on that. The problem however, is that the role is not posted (only vacated about two weeks ago from what I can tell). I have other interviews this week but the role I want more than the others is not posted and I don’t know when it will be. Am I crazy to turn down other opportunities and hope that I eventually can apply and get the job I want most? Thank you for any perspectives you can add. If anyone has a guess on how long it takes to post a role that would be helpful too!
