Subject: Application for Product Analyst — Alex Morgan
Dear Hiring Team at Northwind Pay,
I’m applying for the Product Analyst role. At Lumen Retail I build the weekly sales dashboards in Tableau that our product and marketing teams work from, and I write the SQL behind them. Your focus on checkout and onboarding funnels is close to the work I enjoy most: I partner with product managers on our checkout reporting.
I care about analysis that changes what gets built. When our monthly reporting was taking three days, I automated the data pulls in SQL and brought it down to one, which gave the team time back for the questions that mattered. [Add one decision your checkout reports or dashboards influenced, if you can name it.]
My background is in statistics, and I use Python for analysis — most recently a churn model on a public subscription dataset.
Thank you for considering my application. I’d be glad to talk about how I could help your payments team decide what to build next.
Sincerely, Alex Morgan
