It's very common to see a VP of Engineering managing the day-to-day operations while the CTO acts in a capacity like this.

I’ve seen that too, but then the VP of Engineering tends to report to the CTO, and not to- say, the CEO directly.

Dotted line reporting is very different. In these instances the VP/E is usually directly interfacing with other executives as the CTO's peer. This is even more true when the budget is managed by the VP/E and the CTO is more customer/sales facing.
