Example project manager cover letter

Dear Hiring Manager, I deliver projects that finish on time because I find risks early, and I'd like to bring that to Northwind as your Project Manager. Last year I took over an ERP rollout that was eight weeks behind. I rebuilt the plan with the workstream leads, introduced a weekly RAID review with the sponsor, and moved two low-risk modules to a later phase. We went live five weeks earlier than the revised forecast and 3% under budget. I'm particularly drawn to Northwind because of its focus on [a specific product, value or project]. I would welcome the chance to discuss how I could help your team. Kind regards, Alex Morgan
