What does a day in the life of your role look like?
I believe I'd start with a team sync in the morning, maybe around eight or nine AM. We'd meet with our team and align on the priorities for the day, based on information we got from the client overnight or meetings that have come through.
Once we align on priorities, we break off to work on our assigned tasks. We may have a few meetings throughout the day that adjust the course of the rest of the day if there are any changes.
We'll sync after those meetings to adjust accordingly and then work through the afternoon. In the evening, we'll probably have a quick sync to align if there's anything else we need to get done or out the door before the day ends. Then we might start talking about what we'll be working on tomorrow and do it all over again.
