I know the writing staff get's together and discusses the overall story for the season and breaks it down into arcs and episodes, but does anyone in particular shepherd a specific character or relationship?

Not officially. There are people on staff who may relate to characters more than others and have had similar experiences to what that character has gone through... Thus, the room may look to them a bit more about aspects of that particular character...

But in general, we share the toys...
