Dear Hiring Manager,

I am applying for the Head of Operations role. Over nine years I have led fulfilment teams, renegotiated vendor contracts and raised on-time delivery to 98%.

I would bring the same calm, measured approach to your team, with a clear plan for the first 90 days.

Kind regards,
Sara Haddad
