What type of reporting structure did you work within in previous jobs?

Focus on your flexibility. Even if your previous role was reporting to one individual, convey that are open to a matrixed environment where you receive requests from different team leaders and can prioritize accordingly.

Avoid emphasizing that you have only ever reported to one person at a time, even if that's true. This would show the interviewer that you may not be able to handle multiple requests.

"In my last role, I reported to the Sales Manager. However, I often assisted other managers as needed and was clear on how to prioritize work."

"In my previous role, I reported within a matrix environment to the Sales Manager, Marketing Manager, and Advertising Manager, so I am very comfortable reporting to several leaders. I can also focus on one leader if the position requires it."
