Hi @JSteimle,

Do you have the setting enabled that syncs the lead owner with the contact or company owner? [Sync lead ownership and activities](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/object-settings/sync-lead-ownership-and-activities)

If yes, that explains the lack of that option.

With this setting disabled, you should see the option to assign a “Lead owner”:
