A Marketing Manager resume should read like a growth record. Lead with budget, pipeline, and channel performance, then show the team and stack that got you there.

State budget ownership and channel mix explicitly — recruiters look for scale of control

Name the stack you run daily: HubSpot, Marketo, GA4, and the ad platforms you manage
Show leadership scope: team size, agency management, and cross-functional launches
Marketing managers are hired on numbers: growth, spend efficiency and the pipeline they produced. Recruiters scan first for the channels you owned and the results you reported against budget, then for the size of the team you led.
Organic traffic and rankings, cost per acquisition, ROAS, email revenue, MQL to SQL rates. A channel list with no numbers attached is the most common failure in marketing resumes.
Annual spend by channel, agency contracts you managed, headcount. Budget scope calibrates seniority faster than any adjective in the summary.
GA4, Google Ads, Meta Ads, HubSpot or Marketo, Salesforce, a CMS and your SEO tooling. These are exact-match terms in both the applicant tracking screen and the recruiter screen.
Awareness numbers matter only when they connect to leads, opportunities or revenue. Describe the handoff to sales and what your work was attributed to.
Direct reports, specialists and agencies you directed, plus how you worked with product and sales. Running marketing through other people is a different skill from running the campaigns yourself.
Impressions, likes and follower counts without a business outcome read as avoidance. If the only number you have is reach, pair it with what the reach was for.
Attaching company-wide revenue to your bullets without stating your slice destroys credibility with any reviewer who has run marketing. Be precise about attribution.
Screening for marketing roles filters on the platforms and on spend scope. Both missing suggests coordinator-level experience being presented as management.
Five channels named and no prioritisation shown tells the reader you executed a plan someone else set. Include one decision about where to spend and why.
The ones tied to revenue or cost: CAC, ROAS, conversion by channel, pipeline influenced, email revenue, organic growth. Two or three explained metrics beat a wall of unexplained percentages.
Describe scope in other terms: accounts managed, campaigns shipped per quarter, the content programme you ran, growth from a zero base. Then state plainly that spend was small — honesty about scale is read well.
Google Ads and GA4 certifications, HubSpot and Meta credentials help early in a career and when the posting names them. They signal baseline literacy rather than strategy, so keep them below your results.
Where you can, yes — a live landing page, a ranking improvement, an email you can describe. Anything a reviewer can verify converts a claim into evidence.
Two pages is common at this level because channel results need room. Past two, you are listing activity rather than showing performance.
