Proficiently lead belay your climber.
Proficiently remove gear as you climb.
Clove or PA (personal anchor) yourself into the anchor once you reach the next anchor/belay station.
Transition all of the pro you collected back to your leader. Help ensure all the alpine slings you gathered on your climb up are re-slung. How to re-sling an alpine draw
Help maintain good rope management, take the rope back from your lead climber, handle with care so you don't have to re-flake at every transition.
Set-up to lead belay your leader for the next pitch.

Pro is expensive, practice removing gear properly so you don't ruin people's gear (or your own gear)!
