Executive CV Template (Free, ATS-Friendly)

Executive opens with a solid accent band across the top that carries your name, title and an optional photo. It looks confident and corporate, the kind of CV that suits managers, directors and senior specialists.

Photos are expected on many CVs in the Gulf and parts of Asia, and Executive makes room for one without breaking the layout. If you are applying in the UK or US, simply leave the photo out and the header still looks balanced.

Below the band it is a clean single column, so applicant tracking systems read your experience in order. Open with a three-line summary of the scale you have managed, such as teams, budgets and revenue, and back it up with numbers in every role.
