A regular employee of any assessee can appear before the assessing officer on the strength of a letter of authority. This letter of authority should be in writing and court fee stamp of the value appropriate to the state concerned should also be affixed on the letter of authority and it should be filed as a first step of the appearance.
Format is available in https://www.caclubindia.com/forum/authority-letter-format-65953.asp Pl suitably modify the above format and use it.

Pl check the AOA regarding delegation of powers. If there is a specific clause, act accordingly. If there is none, on the strength of a board resolution, this particular authority can be given to a regular employee.
