Resume template for Key Account Manager
A key account manager CV is read for portfolio scope (number and size of accounts), revenue responsibility, growth track record, and named relationships. Sales VPs filter on retention rate, account growth percentage, and how you handle complex stakeholder maps. Lead with portfolio size and revenue responsibility, then back it up with named expansion stories and renewal outcomes. Avoid generic 'relationship-driven' language — quantified results carry the CV.
Modern layout with sidebar carries portfolio size and retention numbers prominently, while the main column tells the expansion stories.

Frequently asked questions
What if I lost a major account?
Be transparent and contextualize: '1 churn out of 12 due to acquisition by competitor'. Honesty plays well; concealment is checked in references.
Should I list account names?
Generally no — confidentiality usually applies. Use industries and approximate sizes instead.
How important is industry knowledge?
Very for enterprise — KAMs are often hired specifically for the verticals they understand. Mention them explicitly.
