Hello everyone.
I am a foreign National with a Fiktionsbescheinigung in Germany. Recently I was offered a position as a store manager which I took and then applied for a residence permit based on that job. But I got a reply from Auslanderbehodre that a residence permit for such job doesn’t exist. I am very confused since I already know someone who had the same position and then got a residence permit based on the position. Should I contact an immigration lawyer? Or a lawyer isn’t worth it? I have attached the screenshot of the email from Auslanderbehodre below for reference. Any suggestion or help is appreciated. Thanks everyone.

As somebody who is in a very similar situation, this makes me nervous as I am trying to get a residency permit so I can take my job as a cook. I really hope everything works out for you.
There are no residence permits based on job descriptions but on education. You probably want a residence permit from § 18a or 18b AufenthG. Therefore you need any job offer to get these but you also need an aprenticeship or academical degree accepted in Germany.
