I think it is a job like a facility manager/consierge or - if this 
sounds a little bit better - a mentor.
The lead should have a look on the different work that come up on one of 
the two parts of the design team (vi (visual identity) and ux (user 
experience)), sometimes coordinate it a bit, give some advices.

We have two parts so we need at least 2 people.

Our design leads (Bernhard and Christoph) were not like chairmans. They 
don't make the decisions, they "only" start the votings and discussions 
if no one else do this. Of course they have had a look at our branding 
and other advices. They are one of the go-to persons if someone out of 
the design team has a question. Sometimes they turn the team's attention 
to a work, which we get out of sight, by asking one/two per PM or the 
whole team by ml.

This is IMHO the main part a ux design leader has to do.

Some other part is what Astron made in the last time.


Just my 2 Eurocent.
