Manager CV template: an example to customize
A manager's CV is judged on results delivered through a team, not on tasks. The recruiter — leadership or HR — looks for team size, budgets owned and business impact. Describing your role like an individual contributor is the most common mistake at this level.

3 tips to make your manager CV stand out
1. Lead with results
“Team of 12, +22% revenue in 2 years” says more than “team management”. Always tie management to a measurable result.
2. Show your scope
Budget owned, headcount, number of sites: these numbers place your level. Recruiters calibrate a manager role on scope, not tenure.
3. Show the people side
Successful hires, internal promotions, lower turnover: this leadership evidence sets a real manager apart from a coordinator.
