The template

Customer success sits between support and sales, and weak CS resumes read like one or the other — ticket lists or quota claims. A strong one proves the CS-specific skill: keeping revenue that wanted to leave and growing revenue nobody was asking about.

Structure

  1. Header + LinkedIn.
  2. Two-line summary: "CSM, {{years}} in {{segment}} {{domain}} — portfolio of {{N accounts / ARR under management}}. {{Headline retention or expansion stat}}."
  3. Experience — open each role with the book: "{{N}} accounts · {{ARR}} under management · {{segment}} · renewal cycle {{length}}".
  4. Then 3–4 bullets across the four CS proof areas below.
  5. Tools row: {{CS platform, CRM, analytics}}.

The four proof areas (cover all four across your roles)

AreaWeakStrong
RetentionMaintained strong client relationshipsHeld gross retention at 94% across a {{ARR}} book while the team average was 88%
ExpansionIdentified upsell opportunitiesSourced {{amount}} in expansion by mapping unused seats to two new departments per account review
SavesHandled at-risk customersRecovered {{N}} of {{M}} red accounts in {{year}} — including a {{size}} logo saved with an exec alignment play and a 90-day success plan
Scale/systemsImproved CS processesBuilt the onboarding playbook that cut time-to-first-value from 6 weeks to 2; new-cohort 90-day retention up {{X}} points

One save story, told properly

Pick your best save and give it a two-line bullet with the full arc: risk signal → diagnosis → intervention → renewed outcome. Interviewers ask for exactly this; putting it on the resume chooses the story they'll ask about.

Common traps

  • Claiming NRR without a book size — every percentage needs its denominator.
  • Activity metrics (QBRs held, calls made) without consequences — pair or drop them.
  • Reading like support: if most bullets are reactive, rewrite toward the revenue outcomes your responsiveness protected.
