Why I'm reaching out.

29 July 2026

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my interest in Project Management roles within your organization. Having recently attained my PMP® certification, I am now looking to formally transition into a dedicated Project/Product Management capacity, building on a career that has consistently placed me at the intersection of technology delivery and business strategy.

My background spans enterprise application consulting, digital systems development, and cross-functional delivery. As an Application Consultant at Clarivos, I designed and implemented Tagetik EPM solutions for clients across Europe, streamlining financial planning and reporting processes that directly supported strategic business objectives. In my current role at Qatar University's Communications & Public Relations Department, I operate as a Digital Systems & Automation Specialist, managing web content, digital signage infrastructure, and workflow automation within a Microsoft 365/SharePoint environment, while coordinating across departments and IT Services to deliver reliable digital solutions.

Alongside this, I founded LunaraHR, an AI-driven HR management system, giving me firsthand experience leading a project end-to-end, from architecture through delivery. This, combined with an MSc in Business Management from the University of Surrey and a B.Tech in Computer Science Engineering from NIT Jalandhar, has shaped me into someone equally comfortable in technical execution and business-facing coordination.

What I believe makes me a strong fit for a project-focused role is precisely this mix: the technical depth to understand what a delivery team is actually building, the business grounding to translate that into stakeholder value, and now the formal PMP® framework to structure and govern that work. I am not approaching project management as an unfamiliar discipline, but as the natural next step in work I have already been doing in practice.

I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how this combination of technical fluency, business acumen, and PMP®-certified project discipline could contribute to your team's goals.

Sincerely,

Sooraj Manohar
