Marketing Manager CV example

A free example, with real achievement bullets and the skills recruiters look for

Marketing CVs are judged on numbers almost more than any other field — conversion rate, CAC, pipeline generated, follower growth — because the discipline itself is built on measurement. A CV that describes campaigns without a single metric attached undercuts the exact skill the role requires.

What recruiters look for on a Marketing Manager CV

Hard numbers for every major campaign or initiative — growth rate, conversion lift, budget managed, ROI.
Channel-specific expertise stated clearly (paid social, SEO, email, content) rather than a vague “digital marketing” label.
Evidence of both strategy and execution — did you plan the campaign, run it hands-on, or both?
Tools and platforms by name (HubSpot, Google Analytics, Meta Ads Manager) since these are frequently used as screening keywords.

Example achievement bullets

These are the kind of specific, quantified bullets worth building your own experience section around — adapt the structure (action → scope → result), not the exact wording, to your own background:

Good example bulletGrew organic search traffic 68% year-over-year by rebuilding the content calendar around a keyword-gap analysis, adding 40,000 monthly sessions.

Good example bulletManaged a $180K quarterly paid social budget across Meta and LinkedIn, reducing cost-per-lead by 26% while increasing qualified lead volume 19%.

Which template to use

Bold or Creative templates work well here — marketing hiring managers generally expect a CV with a bit more visual confidence than a purely conservative field would. FreeShelf renders your details live across all 250 designs, so you can compare several before deciding — there's no need to commit up front.

Free ATS Score checker included: once you've built your Marketing Manager CV in the Studio, run it through the built-in ATS Score tool to check structure and, optionally, compare it against a specific job description — entirely in your browser.
