I am sure all the people he will be leading are passionate, he may not have to deal with the run of the mill org issues. Being promoted gives him more influence/power to implement his vision.

BTW, he is Jeff Dean, he can be the AI chief and hands on technical at the same time :) May be they promoted him because he was bored at work.

They promoted him because they already have AGI and it was bored at work.
