Optimize Lead Business Analyst Resume for ATS & Senior Roles

Published on 10/27/2025 Hiring & Talent Acquisition Insights

Despite strong experience, the resume isn't generating interviews, suggesting a formatting or ATS compatibility issue. The 'better opportunity' is to significantly enhance the resume's effectiveness. Key improvements include: adding a concise headline summary, ensuring consistent tense, adding bullets demonstrating cross-functional leadership and budget management, breaking long points for readability, and adding 'Key Achievements' sections for dollar impact. The current resume content is strong, reading like a Lead BA or Product Manager profile; optimizing its presentation will improve ATS parsing and visibility to recruiters, leading to interviews for senior roles typically paying $120k-$180k+.
