Your job will no longer be primarily about creating good code, it will be about making it as easy as possible for everyone else on your team to do so.
Writing well is very important. I literally spend half my day writing: tickets, pull request comments, upstream status reports, explaining the cost/benefit of various options to project managers.
Get basic functionality locked down early and then build from there.
Don't micromanage tech decisions but do make it easy for people to be consistent with one another by providing a style guide.
If all you do is prevent a few foundationally stupid decisions from making their way into the project, you're already way ahead. [hint: most really stupid decisions are not actually any one person's conscious decision].

After all else: listen.
