SUMMARY:

• With this letter and résumé I’d like to offer myself for a position at your firm that fully utilizes my 15+ years’ management experience.
• I’ve managed both projects and people within the pharmaceutical and financial spaces, having been responsible for interviewing, hiring, reviewing and promoting.
• My ability to produce within tight time and budget constraints as well as attention to detail has enabled me to successfully manage projects with budgets in the millions.
• Manage multiple IT projects in the course of working within three divisions.
• My work involves not only crafting custom apps with both internal and external teams but negotiating with stakeholders whose disparate needs required compromise to reach cohesive solutions.
• I was brought in to save a foundering multi - million-dollar project, turning the next deliverable into a success that was on-time, on-budget and met all requirements. The complete turnaround showed a marked increase in GMAC’s satisfaction and the project was expanded, resulting in doubling my team size.
• I managed the company’s state-of-the-art IS systems for business and commercial credit, often working 4-6 projects simultaneously with budgets in the millions. Most involve cross-functional applications requiring multiple vendors and multimillion-dollar clients.
• For each project I am responsible for budgeting and resourcing.
• I manage teams through each phase of the entire project lifecycle and interact heavily with the client.
• I am seeking a position where my abilities and qualifications can be fully applied for our mutual benefit.
• I look forward to speaking with you in the near future to discuss how I can make a substantial contribution to your success.
