About this resume template

When to use the Executive design

A bold name over a colour bar and results-first sections, built for directors and senior managers.

Senior hiring is decided by scale and results: how big a team, budget or business you ran, and what changed because of you. This template is built to put those numbers up front. Your name sits large on the left above a solid bar in your chosen colour, and each section heading carries a small accent mark, so the page looks deliberate without being decorative. The summary is written as a short executive profile, and each role lists outcomes in money, people and time.

What's on it

  • Large name with contact line
  • Job title under your name
  • Colour bar under the header
  • Executive profile (Professional Summary)
  • Work Experience with results
  • Education and qualifications
  • Core skills
  • Languages

Best for

Directors, VPs, heads of department and general managers

Also good for

CXO candidates and senior consultants

And for

Professionals with 12 or more years of experience

Tips

Tips for the Executive resume

Small changes that make this design work harder for you.

  • Open the summary with your level and field, then your two biggest results with numbers.

  • Show scale in every role: revenue, budget, headcount, number of sites or markets.

  • Two pages is normal at this level. Give your last 10 years the detail and summarise the rest.

  • Use the dark or blue accent for finance, law and consulting; green or teal reads well in healthcare and sustainability.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about the Executive resume template.

How long should an executive resume be?
Two pages is standard for senior roles. Use the space for results, not duties, and keep anything older than 15 years to a line or two.
Should an executive resume have a summary?
Yes. A three or four line executive profile is the most-read part of the page. Name your level, your field and your biggest results.
Can I change the colour of the bar?
Yes. In the Resume Builder pick one of seven colours. In the Word file, change the colour of the line under the header and of the small squares.
