Depends on what is expected of you, as well as your margin for manoeuvre. Some seniors are supposed to do one feature and then guide the juniors to replicate that feature, others will have more responsibility, etc.

If you are the bridge between business and dev, you have to manage business expectations and point what needs to be changed. If you are the technical guidance of the team you have to be on top of code quality and architecture.

In the end, the role name doesn't really mean a thing, it's what is expected of you and your legroom that matters. Both are dynamic. In fact, every team member is free to suggest improvements, how fast they are implemented just depends on who approves them. Senior normally just means you don't need alot of supervision.
