Recruiter concerns

Retention impact is not quantified

High

The CV mentions improving onboarding, but does not show a measurable change in activation or retention. The job description explicitly asks for retention impact, so a recruiter may doubt the depth of ownership.

Experimentation experience is implied, not stated

Medium

A/B testing and experimentation are listed as required, but the CV only mentions 'data-informed decisions'. A recruiter scanning quickly may not connect this to structured experimentation.

Stakeholder communication is generic

Low

The CV says 'worked with stakeholders'. The job description emphasises written communication with executives. The current phrasing does not show that specific skill clearly.

CV improvements: before and after

Before

Worked closely with engineering and design to ship features.

After

Led discovery and delivery with engineering and design for a B2B SaaS product, taking features from problem framing to launch and post-launch review.

Why: Reframes the same collaboration as end-to-end ownership, which matches how the job describes the PM role.

Before

Improved onboarding for new users.

After

Owned the onboarding experience for new users, redesigning the flow and tracking activation step-by-step to identify drop-off points.

Why: Surfaces the same work as a structured activation effort, which is the exact area the job description highlights.

Before

Made data-informed product decisions.

After

Used product analytics and structured experiments to prioritise the roadmap and validate changes before rolling them out broadly.

Why: Connects the existing analytics experience to experimentation, which is a stated requirement.

Improved bullets only reposition information already in the CV. They do not invent facts, companies, metrics, or responsibilities.

Tailored professional summary

Product Manager with experience owning B2B SaaS products end-to-end. Focused on activation and retention, working closely with engineering and design, and using product analytics and experimentation to prioritise the roadmap and communicate trade-offs clearly to stakeholders.
