Creative archetype: how to write a resume for DeepMind, Runway, Midjourney

Research and craft cultures evaluate on novel framing, weekend prototypes that became production, and a willingness to bet against the obvious approach.

EXAMPLE BULLETS

A senior partner ops resume in this voice

Same operator, same outcomes. Three bullets rewritten in the CRE register so you can hear how the voice changes.

01 · IMPACT

Built a novel attribution model nobody on the team had tried, deployed across 6 hyperscaler programs. The weird approach won.

02 · CRAFT

Open-sourced the partner-schema spec on GitHub. Three vendors forked it inside a quarter and shipped against it.

03 · TASTE

Weekend prototype of an LLM-scored co-sell ranker became production by Q3 after the field team adopted it on their own. The shape of the artifact did the persuasion.

INTERVIEW SIGNALS

What the panel is actually scoring

The bar past the resume. If the rewrite gets you in the room, these are the criteria the loop will weigh once you are there.

  1. 01Novelty: did the approach exist before you wrote it down
  2. 02Taste: can you defend why one shape was right when three were defensible
  3. 03Open-source footprint: external adoption is the truest test of craft
  4. 04Weekend-to-production rate: how often a side bet became the main bet
