Operations Manager CV example

What to include in a operations manager cv: relevant evidence, skills, sample achievement structures and template suggestions.

A useful starting point

Show throughput, cost, people and a process you changed. Two pages. Skip generic “ensured smooth operations”. Skip this if you have never owned a team or a budget — that is a coordinator CV, not this one.

These examples illustrate structure, not a real applicant’s history. Replace every sample detail with your own evidence. Follow the employer’s instructions on qualifications, registration, document length and file format.

Evidence to consider

  • Headcount
  • Sites or shifts
  • A KPI you moved
  • Health and safety or audit if relevant

Illustrative achievement bullets

  • Ran a 42-person, three-shift warehouse hitting 99.2% on-time dispatch
  • Cut agency spend 14% by rewriting the rota
  • Closed 12 audit actions in 8 weeks after a failed internal audit
  • Introduced a near-miss log; reports rose, lost-time incidents fell the next quarter

Relevant skills to substantiate

People management · KPIs · Rotas · Health and safety · Cost control · Continuous improvement

What to leave out

  • Duty lists
  • Photos
  • Confidential customer names if NDAs forbid them

Frequently asked questions

Should I name the warehouse management system?

Yes if the advert names it and you used it.

One page?

No. Operations proof needs numbers and people.

Include health and safety tickets?

List current tickets (IOSH, NEBOSH) with dates. Expired ones go.
