I do think there is ambiguity in the value of a Director/VP of Eng in an Engineering organization. It's definitely harder to quantify.

From my experience, it's important to see your role as enabling people in the organization to be more effective rather than just you and your team.

That can take the shape of:

- Streamlining the hiring process

- Spend time on reducing build time / decreasing the time to run tests / focusing on local environment setup

- Reviewing how teams plan and interact with each other
