About the Role

What You'll Do

Metrics

• Deliver Success: You will work with leadership to establish quality and throughput targets for your team members. Once those targets are set, you will be responsible for ensuring your team achieves these targets weekly

Managing & Coaching

You will be responsible for monitoring where each designer is (or is not) meeting the Dandy standard for product quality and be able to speak to them (and leadership) on where we have true excellence and what gaps exist. This implies conducting audits for every team member periodically.

• Coach Designers to be Better. Identify areas of opportunity for designers and provide continuous coaching through 1:1 meetings, group sessions, and monthly development meetings. Each designer should have a quality plan for how to improve the quality of their work and uplevel their capabilities. Where designers are truly excellent, the team lead should create opportunities for the designer to showcase their skills and support their peers in getting better.

• Identify where you need help (and ask for it). Dandy offers a lot of centralized resources for training and knowledge development, Team Leads should identify where they need support/help/guidance on particular areas and ensure that the team receives that support.
