About this template
The ATS Editorial template pairs Playfair Display with Source Sans Pro on a quiet grey palette, separated by short horizontal section dividers. The layout reads as an editorial spread — restrained, balanced, parser-safe throughout. Compatible with Workday, Greenhouse and the internal editorial systems of large media groups and cultural foundations.
Who is it for?
It is built for senior strategists, editors, brand directors and consultants at premium houses (LVMH, Kering, Hermès, Richemont, Chanel, Estée Lauder Companies), foundations (Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, Open Society, Mellon Foundation) and cultural institutions (MoMA, The Met, Tate, Centre Pompidou, V&A) who want a CV that reads literately. Avoids both the engineer-grid look and the over-styled portfolio aesthetic.
How to use it
Keep a linear structure: Profile (3-4 lines summarising 15+ years of expertise), Recent experience, Art direction / Editorial projects (signature work), Distinctions, Education. For luxury and culture profiles, list exhibitions, launches, collections and signature events. For editors, mention titles launched, pure plays acquired, circulation growth or digital audience growth. Add a board governance section for senior profiles holding non-executive director seats.
Frequently asked questions
Should I list non-executive director and advisory board seats?
Yes for 15+ year profiles. Create a 'Governance' section at the bottom with the mandates (board of directors, supervisory board, audit committee, advisory board). Specify the status (independent director, lead director, observer, advisor) and the term length. This is a critical seniority signal in luxury, culture and creative industries — and a high-value keyword for executive search.
How do I present art direction experience?
List 5-6 signature projects with house, collection or event, year, and nature of responsibility (sole AD, co-AD, guest AD). For product launches, mention commercial impact if public (best-seller, allocation, waiting lists). For exhibitions, cite flagship pieces and curatorial framing. For brand systems, indicate the launch year and the markets where the system was rolled out.
Does the template work for philanthropic foundations?
Yes. Structure experience around mission (grants made, pilot programmes, institutional partnerships), governance and editorial publications. Mention funds managed or raised, signed annual reports and strategic partnerships (UNESCO, government ministries, corporate sponsorships). For grant-makers, list the programmatic areas and the strategic priorities championed during your tenure.
