I am applying for middle/senior management positions at younger companies (avg employee age 30) in a function where I am manager since only 2 years. Is it OK to give a lot of weight also to roles I had in the past that were not in the same functional area - so that I can emphasize my leadership experience rather than my technical experience?

e.g. 
2012-2014 IT Analytics Manager(write many details) 
2011-2012 IT Solutions Assistant 
2010-2011 Junior Analyst 
2008-2010 Business Development Manager (write many details) 
2006-2008 Customer Care Team Manager (write many details)

If I want to emphasize leadership experience, is it OK to highlight jobs outside my functional area where I was a leader?
