If they want to give you the latitude, P&L budget, and hiring power then ask them to meet more people within the organization before you make a decision. When i was in industry and had an offer for job that seemed pretty amazing, i asked to meet more people on the senior leadership as well as other people on the ground (folks typically with less than 10 years experience). And im glad i did. Thats what smart people will do, and it'll be interpreted as such. I found out that the previous 3 people who held that role were not set up for success and were faced with pretty substantial roadblocks which led to team attrition, in fighting over budget distribution, and less than spectacular performance kpi's. I turned the job offer down and took another role at a global agency. Thats just my story, but i hope you do your due diligence. I also talked to my headhunter/recruiter friends for advice. Good luck.
