A B2B PM resume has to prove you can ship through long cycles, messy stakeholders, and revenue-adjacent tradeoffs—not that you ran a consumer A/B test once.

What I'd put up top

  • Domain + customer type (SMB, mid-market, enterprise) in the first lines
  • Outcomes tied to adoption, retention, pipeline, or expansion—not vanity launches
  • Evidence you influenced sales, CS, and engineering without owning them
  • Ambiguity you clarified: packaging, pricing experiments, integration bets

If a bullet only says "worked with sales," I'd rewrite it until the decision and result are obvious.

Structure that works for me

Section What I'd include
Summary Stage + ICP + the problems you own
Experience Impact bullets with honest scope
Skills Discovery, GTM partnership, analytics—not 40 tools
Education/certs Only what supports the story

I wouldn't invent ARR numbers. If I don't have a clean metric, I'd describe the constraint and the call I made.

A PM Certification can help you narrate craft clearly. The resume still has to show B2B judgment.
