About this template
Meridian is CVEdge's most contemporary layout. A left sidebar opens with your photo set inside a soft organic shape, followed by Contacts, Skills, Key Achievements and Training. The main column runs your name in thin uppercase, a rounded pill band with your title, then Summary, Experience and Education under headings that each carry a small icon tile.
Every green derives from the accent colour, so the same template reads mint, navy or plum with one click. It is designed for people who need to look like they move fast: founders, growth and product leads, startup operators and anyone applying to a company that values energy over formality.
Meridian is a two-column layout with icons, so treat it as a direct-application template. Send it to founders, hiring managers and recruiters; keep a single-column export for large portals. Photo, initials or no avatar are all supported from the Design tab.
Who is this template for?
- Startup founders and operators
- Growth, product and innovation leads
- Candidates at venture-backed and design-forward companies
- Anyone whose achievements deserve their own sidebar block

Questions about this template
Can I use Meridian without a photo?+
Yes. Set the avatar to Initials or Off in the Design tab. With Off, the blob block is removed and the sidebar starts with Contacts.
Is Meridian suitable for ATS portals?+
It is a two-column layout with icons, so it is best for direct applications and recruiter submissions. For portal applications, export the same content on Sterling or Classic.
