The lead is less to do with managing junior designers and more to do with leading a project from a design perspective.
As a lead, you need to be at the forefront in gathering client s design requirements and communicating with various shareholders proactively to establish clarity around the goals of a design project.
You will be working on actual prototyping and mockups, getting approvals. During the process you will be constantly in touch with engineering team leads to ensure that your design choices are WordPress site editor friendly.
Once an approved design goes into development, you will oversee the engineering efforts to ensure that the final outcome closely aligns with your vision for the project. This includes overseeing content creation efforts which should remain friendly.
As part of deliverables, all design projects we do must have documentation that includes a style guide, design system, and some additional information about choices we made for the project.
