Who does this position report to?

This question is a simple one, meant to be asked in early-stage interviews, only when you do not know who oversees this role's day-to-day activities.

It is common to report to more than one person. Once you are told whom you will be reporting to, be sure to go on LinkedIn and study their profile and career history. This information will be helpful to you in your future interviews.

If the interviewer is not yet sure who you will be reporting to, this is an indication of internal restructuring. If this is the case, you need to dig deeper and ask more questions about how the office or department is set up.
