Resume reads like a long-form mid-career resume - same structure, just more bullets.
Executive-Level Resume Writer
At Director, VP, and SVP level the resume sells operator capability - scope of P&L, headcount, business unit. Most senior candidates still write like a manager. We fix that.
Who this is for: Directors, Senior Directors, VPs, SVPs, GMs, division heads, and business-unit leaders in the US, competing for $200K+ roles.
What we see1 2 3 4 5
Why your resume isn't getting callbacks.
Scope is vague. "Led teams" instead of "led a 60-person engineering org across three regions."
Revenue, P&L, headcount, and budget numbers aren't on the page.
Summary at the top is generic - could belong to any senior candidate.
LinkedIn lags the resume, so recruiter search misses you entirely.
Our approach
How we write executive-level resumes
An executive-level resume isn't a longer mid-career resume. It's a different document, read by a different audience, for a different decision. Recruiters, hiring managers, and (increasingly) boards or committees read it. The framing has to work for all three.
We start with positioning. What kind of operator are you? What are your three or four signature outcomes? What does the market currently pay for that profile? Then the resume gets built around those answers - with scope of responsibility (revenue, headcount, geography, business unit) attached to every meaningful entry.
The opening summary does most of the conversion work at this level. It states what kind of executive you are, in language a board would use, and immediately backs it up with two or three concrete proofs. The rest of the document supports that claim.

Common questions for executive-level candidates.
How long should an executive-level resume be?
Two to three pages is standard in the US for VP / SVP / GM / Director level. Federal executive is an exception - see the federal resume page.
I'm doing a confidential search. Can the engagement stay private?
Yes. We work directly with you, your documents are never shared, and we can structure the LinkedIn rewrite to be discoverable to recruiters without telegraphing that you're actively looking.
Can you handle transitions into PE-backed or startup operator roles?
Yes. We reframe corporate scope into the language of operating leverage, growth rate, and capital efficiency that PE and startup boards look for.
Should I still have a cover letter at this level?
Yes - for direct outreach to search firms, board chairs, and CEO peers. The cover letter is less "application document" and more "networking introduction." We write a flexible template.
Is the Executive Brand Suite or C-Suite Premium right for me?
Executive Brand Suite ($899) is right for Director / VP / SVP / GM. C-Suite Premium ($1,499) is right for sitting or aspiring CEOs, CFOs, COOs, and founders. The C-Suite tier adds content strategy and a 6-month support window.
