My approach to this is to start the description for each company with
something like "Led a department of <insert staff description here>
supporting <insert product description here>." Seems to have worked
ok so far.
At the risk of hitting job seekers over the head with my point, don't assume
everyone knows what ABC Company does. In fact you would be wise to look at
your resume from the standpoint of someone that lives several states away
and has no knowledge of your profession.
