Companies are so hidebound by diversity and meetings, they don't have the time or capacity to actually think about the job itself.
I've only had one position that was ever well-defined before I started, and that was a union contract job with AT&T. There was a very rigid description of what you could and could not do.

I typically get a solid foundation with contracts, but, now and then I get in on one that is a hot mess once on boarded.. or some things can't be said in interviews so it's a roll of the dice to begin with. I'm cool with helping to define the role but not at the expense of a month+ of standby to meet the shot-caller or only to find out the scope isn't anywhere near as cool as they sold it.
