About this template
The Clean Pro template is a modern reading of the classic CV: a single column in Inter, with section titles in very tight uppercase, generous spacing and discreet grey skill chips. Clean lines, no ornament, optimised whitespace — it's the balance between the restraint of the classic and the visual respiration expected of a contemporary document. ATS-compatible without aesthetic compromise.
Who is it for?
It suits product managers, marketers, business operators, strategy consultants, transformation leaders and modern corporate profiles applying to SaaS vendors (Workday, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Microsoft, Adobe), hybrid consultancies (BCG Platinion, McKinsey Digital, Bain Advanced Analytics, Accenture Strategy), large groups in digital transformation (Walmart Digital, Target Tech, Best Buy Health, Comcast Effectv) and hypergrowth platforms (Stripe, Notion, Figma, Linear, Ramp, Brex).
How to use it
Open with a 3-line summary establishing positioning (e.g., 'Senior Product Manager — 9 years in B2B SaaS — focus on pricing and conversion — managed >$5M ARR'). For each role, list 3-5 quantified achievements in compressed STAR format (Situation, Task, Action, Result). The skill chips at the bottom are perfect for frameworks and methodologies (OKR, Jobs-to-be-Done, RICE, Discovery, Continuous Delivery, Lean Startup) — list 8 to 12 maximum to avoid diluting the signal in keyword overload.
Frequently asked questions
How should I balance skill chips and experience?
Chips signal transversal mastery (methods, frameworks, tools), not duplication of what's already in role descriptions. A good rule: if a keyword already appears in a role bullet, don't put it in a chip. Target 8-12 chips that complement rather than duplicate the reading. Beyond 15 chips, the signal dilutes into keyword-stuffing territory.
Does it suit applications to consultancies?
Yes for hybrid technology consultancies (BCG Platinion, McKinsey Digital, Accenture Strategy, Bain Solutions, Slalom Consulting). For pure strategy consulting (McKinsey & Company, BCG, Bain & Company excluding Solutions), prefer Corporate or Elegant Serif templates which stay in the expected register — the culture there remains more serif-coded and less modern.
What's the place for product certifications (Scrum, Pragmatic)?
List them in a dedicated 'Certifications' section with date of attainment and certifying body. For product roles in the US, the most valued certifications remain: Pragmatic Institute (PM Certified), Reforge (Growth Series, Product Strategy), Scrum.org (PSM, PSPO), Product School (CSPO), SAFe (POPM, RTE). Avoid short bootcamp certifications without recognised industry signature.
