Operations CVs that show what you run
and what you improved.
An operations CV is read for scope first: the sites, people, budget and volume you're responsible for. Then it's read for what improved while you were in charge. We'll put both in the opening lines of every role, in the language of your sector, whether that's OEE on a production floor or SLAs in a service business.
Running a shift, running a site or moving into operations.
Operations covers everything from a production line to a customer service centre, and your CV needs to sound like the one you work in. Here's how we approach each stage.
Costs are up, productivity isn't.
UK productivity is barely moving. ONS figures for the second quarter of 2026 show output per hour up just 0.7% on a year earlier, and on some measures it's only a couple of per cent above where it was in 2019.
Costs keep rising all the same. In the CIPD's spring 2026 survey of more than 2,000 employers, cost management was the top priority for 58% of organisations, with improving productivity next at 44%. That's the brief most operations leaders are working to, so your cost and efficiency results belong on your CV in hard numbers.
There's a management gap as well. CMI research with YouGov found that 82% of people entering management roles have had no formal management or leadership training.

Professionals who got where they wanted to go.
James Greenall was brilliant, he totally grasped what I wanted off the back of a single phone call. I work in quite a niche industry so this was super impressive. All really quick an easy and now I have a great CV to hit the ground running. Excellent service James, thanks so much. It was a pleasure and I would not hesitate to recommend you.
I am so pleased with the service and end result. They did a great free CV review for me which made me realise that expertise was required. Sarah arranged a call, we discussed my career and she listened. Then as promised the documents arrived. As she had really paid attention I had very few amends, the CV and cover letter are professional, concise, informative and what I need for the next step in my career. It's a fantastic service which I will recommend to others, writing a CV is so hard for yourself! Thank you so much!
I recently had the pleasure of working with Louise, and I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding job she did on my CV. Louise was professional, attentive and clearly dedicated to producing a high quality result. The whole process was smooth and efficient and Louise made it easy every step of the way. I highly recommend to anyone looking to elevate their professional profile.

Operations CV writing: common questions
Yes. Our operations CV writing covers team leaders, operations, service delivery, facilities and site managers, through to operations directors and COOs. Every role opens with your scope, headcount, sites, budget and volume, followed by what you improved.
Yes, but name your belt and the project it produced. A list of every improvement method going tends to suggest breadth without depth. IOSH or NEBOSH belongs on the page as well, since plenty of operations roles ask for it.
Yes. Military experience maps well onto operations, but it has to be written in civilian terms: a civilian job title, your rank in brackets and none of the acronyms, with the leadership you've done set out alongside the tasks.
Our professional CV writing starts at £229 for operations professionals up to senior manager level. For heads of operations and above, executive CV writing starts at £329.
You'll receive your completed CV within three business days of your consultation call. Order before 2pm and your writer is assigned the same day.
