Curious to know more about the role in general from your observation (please call out your time title to help me understand role relationships, if you’d like to share)- no specific team. Bonus: what’s the relationship between Product Designers and Product Design Manager?
Probably just like any other company. Liaison between IC’s and directors. Goes to lots of meetings. Keeps the wheels turning on important projects. Drives feedback and critique. Helps fight important battles when other stakeholders are being dumbasses. Facilitates career growth with direct reports, etc.
Nailed it.
