Senior and leadership resume template
Open with a leadership summary that states remit (teams, budgets, geographies) and two or three defensible outcomes, follow with three to five selected achievements, then role entries that lead with remit before results. Roles older than about ten years compress to one line each. Two pages is the norm.

What is inside
- Leadership summary framework (remit, change led, outcomes).
- Selected achievements: three to five bullets a panel will probe.
- Role entries with a remit line and bullets for strategy, operations, people and governance outcomes.
- Earlier career, education and professional membership, and an optional boards and publications section.
How to use it
- Write the achievements first; the summary is then a compression of them.
- Give every number a period and a scope so it can be checked in the room.
- Compress older roles to one line; the detail is in the recent remit.
- Keep to two pages and remove the optional section if it is not genuinely relevant.
Why it is built this way
- Remit before results because panels assess level before fit.
- Selected achievements are separate from roles so the strongest evidence does not get buried under the most recent employer.
Accessibility
The Word file uses true heading styles, a single column and real text only: no tables, text boxes or images carry meaning, so screen readers and parsers follow the same structure a sighted reader sees. Guidance notes are plain text in grey italics and are meant to be deleted. This page summarises what the file contains.
