responsabilites
from a cv:
the statement of purpose reads as follows:
Vente stratégique, responsabilités, utilisation des connaissances linguistiques.
"Responsibilities" would clearly be a tautology here. Is it intended to be modified by "des connaissances linguistiques"? As in: linguistic responsibilities?

I believe there's a difference between leadership, which is generally used to designate top management, and wanting to be in charge of a project/projects rather than simply being told what to do. In other words, it implies having more autonomy in your work.

Perhaps you could try 'project responsibility' or simply 'autonomy'.
Authority is going too far IMO
