Designer note: why Contrast exists
Contrast inverts the section headers - white text on a dark fill block instead of the conventional dark-on-light. It's a strong visual choice that works for senior leaders whose content is dense and needs visual chunking to read at a skim.
Bullets that read well in Contrast
These are the kind of lines this template's spacing and typography were built for. The note under each explains why the rhythm fits.
VP Operations, [Company]. Ran a 240-person org across 4 facilities. Closed an 18-month transformation programme that lifted EBITDA margin by 6 points.
Contrast's inverted section headers chunk a dense senior-bullet narrative into scannable pieces.

Questions about the Contrast template
Does the inverted block parse correctly in ATS?
The fill is rendered as a CSS background, not as an image with overlaid text, so ATS reads the section headings as plain text. Built to parse cleanly in Workday, Greenhouse, and Lever.
