Guide

About this executive cv template

Senior hiring is about scale and results. This template opens with a dark header and a short executive profile, then four headline numbers — margin, savings, people, delivery — so a board member or headhunter sees your impact in seconds. Each role has a one-line scope (company size, team, reporting line) before the achievements. The sample is for a chief operating officer.

    Summarise roles older than 15 years in one line, then save as PDF.

Tips for an executive CV

Lead with scale

Revenue, budget, headcount and geography tell a board how big a job you can do.

Results, not duties

At this level, "responsible for operations" is assumed. Say what changed because you were there.

Two pages is right

Executive CVs usually run to two pages. Keep the strongest material on page one.

Mind confidentiality

If figures are confidential, use percentages or ranges instead of exact amounts.

Two pages is standard. A third page is only worth it for board, academic or public-sector roles that ask for full detail.

Yes. Non-executive, trustee and advisory roles show governance experience, which matters for C-suite and board appointments.

Yes. Change the headline, achievements and competencies for finance, sales, technology, HR or general management.

Mostly. The text is real text, but the achievements panel is a table. If you apply through a portal, you can turn the panel into a short bullet list.
