Hiring Manager
Data Annotation
Dear Hiring Manager,
Data Annotation's emphasis on accurate training data pipelines resonates with my experience ensuring financial reporting is timely and precise. I improved forecasting accuracy by 15% while managing a $14M budget, and I know that same discipline translates to operational finance. My teams have consistently delivered SOX-compliant statements without surprises.
In my current role, I lead a finance team that supports rapid growth while maintaining strict controls. We conduct monthly variance analysis with the product and engineering leads to surface cost-saving opportunities before they become issues. Previously, as Finance Manager at Jobgether, I identified cost savings of $650K through process improvements and renegotiated vendor contracts that had gone stale.
I enjoy making data accessible to non-finance stakeholders and have built dashboards that highlight our key metrics without burying teams in noise. The annotation domain requires swift iteration, and I ensure our financial insights keep pace with product cycles. I also mentor analysts on building models that account for both growth levers and operational constraints.
Joining Data Annotation would let me apply my background in tech-enabled services to an area I am passionate about. I would welcome the opportunity to partner with the leadership team to maintain our financial health as we scale.
I would love to discuss how my finance leadership can support Data Annotation's growth objectives. Thank you for considering my application, and I hope to connect soon.
Sincerely,
Emerson P.
