Everything you describe is still very much IC work. Nothing that will signal you are ready for management responsibilities.
For those kinds of roles you want to demonstrate you can communicate with and organize a group of people to accomplish an important task.
Sure, at this point, substitute in whatever responsibilities are given to the role you're seeking:

Fwiw, most tech companies do not consider eng management to be a promotion. The path to becoming a manager is thus "figure out that you want to be a manager, discuss how such a transition would look with your manager, etc"
That said, if you're not already earning the trust of your team (you do the things you say you'll do, etc) you will not have an opportunity to manage
