If you report to the Vice-President but also handle administrative duties for the President and CFO, be sure to mention it. You want the hiring manager to understand that you can take direction from senior leadership.

"I report to the Director but assist the accounting manager and assistant operations director with all of their reports and data entry. Many of the managers come to me when they need assistance with letters and emails. I have my director look over all written documents one more time before sending them out."
