I have an HR friend who could talk his way into anything - about two years ago he landed an intermediate level marketing job with no prior experience and no qualifications! Some HR folks like to say if you've got around 75% of what they're looking for, go for it. You might even get by with less if you present and speak well, and, probably more importantly, have the key personal qualities they're looking for. It's pretty rare that candidates have 100% of the skills they're looking for anyway.
