Hiring Manager
Aspire Institute
Dear Hiring Manager,
Nonprofits need leaders who can connect strategy with measurable outcomes. At JPMorgan Chase & Co., I aligned a $5 million budget with three-year programme goals, securing funding and deepening corporate partnerships. Aspire Institute's focus on research-driven education policy matches the work I have done in executive leadership and stakeholder engagement.
The programmes I oversee span teacher training, policy advocacy, and public awareness campaigns, requiring both operational rigor and storytelling. I introduced zero-based budgeting, which saved 12% annually while preserving key initiatives, and I regularly present to boards and funding bodies using dashboards that clarify progress against our strategic plan.
Collaboration is the backbone of my leadership style. I facilitate cross-functional teams of educators, researchers, and policymakers to produce content that influences legislation and classroom practice alike. The policy reports we publish are grounded in the realities of the schools we serve.
I am drawn to Aspire Institute because you synthesise research and practice in a way that resonates with my experience. I would welcome the opportunity to explore how my background in programme finance and coalition-building can support your next phase of growth.
Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to discussing how we can advance Aspire Institute's mission together.
Sincerely,
Quinn J.
