Hiring Manager
Data Annotation
Dear Hiring Manager,
In my current role managing FP&A for Data Annotation, I have improved forecasting accuracy by 15% and eliminated close-cycle bottlenecks that previously delayed board reporting. I understand the pressure to deliver timely, reliable financial insights in a fast-growing data services environment. My goal is to ensure your finance team continues to support rapid scaling with disciplined planning.
I lead a team responsible for preparing financial statements, managing budgets of $30M, and ensuring SOX compliance across our regional operations. By automating variance reporting and implementing rolling forecasts, we have reduced decision-cycle time and given executives the real-time data they need to steer the business.
Previously at Kuali, I identified cost savings of $2.1M through a zero-based budgeting initiative and partnered closely with product leaders to align R&D spend with our go-to-market strategy. This combination of analytical rigor and cross-functional collaboration is one I would bring to Data Annotation.
I am excited about the opportunity to deepen my contribution to a company whose annotation services underpin so many ML pipelines. Your commitment to quality data delivery resonates with my own standards for financial accuracy and operational transparency.
I would welcome the chance to discuss how my FP&A leadership can continue supporting Data Annotation's growth objectives. Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to connecting soon.
Sincerely,
Reese A.
