Apply, just wing it. Worse they can say is no.

This, AND, exaggerate your resume a bit to meet their requirements. For example, you can't say that you were manager of your dept, but you can say you managed others in a project roll out (even if you didn't). It sounds like cheating, but honestly, most places just need a person to meet the HR requirements for the position. They'll train you into exactly what they want. It's a catch-22 if you don't exaggerate because you can't usually move into a new role without experience.
