Marketing Manager resume skills in 2026: what gets you screened in (the 5-point short version)
  1. Report on pipeline and revenue, not activity. MQLs, SQLs, pipeline sourced, CAC, LTV:CAC and ROAS are the numbers a hiring VP screens on; impressions and follower counts are not.
  2. Name the martech stack by product: HubSpot or Marketo for automation, Salesforce for CRM, GA4 for analytics, Google Ads and Meta Ads Manager for paid, Ahrefs or Semrush for SEO.
  3. Specify the channels you have personally run and the budget you controlled. 'Managed a $1.4M annual paid budget across search and paid social' is a scope claim a recruiter can size you by.
  4. Show the motion you know — PLG, demand gen, ABM, ecommerce, brand — because these are close to non-transferable and employers hire for the one they run.
  5. Include lifecycle and retention work alongside acquisition: email, onboarding sequences, segmentation, churn campaigns. Marketers who only acquire are a narrower hire in 2026 than they were three years ago.
