TL;DR
Operations manager roles span every sector, which makes the title broad and the screening tough. 97.8% of Fortune 500 companies screen applications through an ATS before a human reads them. If your operations manager CV is filtered before a human reads it, the keywords an ATS expects are usually missing.
The fix is not keyword-stuffing
At CVPilot the pattern that works is consistent:
- Summary leads with your strongest keywords, anchored to a quantified result
- Every bullet pairs a keyword with a number
- Tools and systems named explicitly so the parser matches them
The contrarian bit
Most operations CVs lean on the word "efficient" and stop there. Efficiency without a number is invisible. Operations is the most measurable discipline on the list; measure it.
