Social Media Manager CV example

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

A useful starting point

Connect channel work to a business result, not only likes. Two pages. Skip a screenshot wall. Skip this if you ran a personal TikTok and want a brand manager job — that is not this evidence.

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

  • Channels you owned
  • Paid vs organic honestly
  • A conversion or community proof
  • Crisis or moderation if relevant

Illustrative achievement bullets

  • Grew LinkedIn followers 8k to 21k in a year while demo clicks from social rose 27%
  • Ran always-on paid social at £6k/month with a documented creative test grid
  • Wrote a 12-hour crisis protocol used during a product outage
  • Managed 3 community managers and a UGC calendar

Relevant skills to substantiate

Organic social · Paid social · Community · Creative briefing · Reporting · Crisis comms

What to leave out

  • Follower flex with no baseline
  • Photos of yourself as the header
  • Every platform you have an account on

Frequently asked questions

Do follower counts belong?

With a business metric. Alone they are vanity.

Creative template?

Fine if text is selectable. No infographic CVs for ATS forms.

One page?

Two for managers. Coordinators can use one.
