Take it. Sink or swim.
Do you know for a fact that you’ll actually have a leadership role? Most ACD titles at large US agencies are granted to justify salary requirements. I.e you’re a well payed Sr. Creative. Either way take the job.

Baptism by fire. Do it if the job is appealing to you. Don’t if it’s not.
Yes. How are you going to learn without doing it? What's important is that you don't twiddle your thumbs on the job. Observe, learn, act, adjust, repeat. You want this job, put in all you got.

Inquire if they can provide further leadership training. Imagine if you had an ACD who may have been talented but had little leadership skills.
I turned down an ACD role six years ago for shitty pay at a shitty digital production company. I do not regret turning the role down. But I’m sure I am in the minority.
More importantly, is the agency exciting? Will you do great work? If you have a great book the money/title will come. Don’t chase a title, go where you will make the best work.
But if title and money are important then go for it, but you could get stuck.

That’s sorta what I’m doing.
