Hiring Manager
Sphera
Dear Hiring Manager,
At Amazon, I led a forecasting initiative that improved accuracy by 12% while managing a $540M P&L across five regions. Sphera's commitment to sustainability analytics resonates with the projects I enjoyed most during my tenure there, where I streamlined budget processes and ensured SOX compliance. Returning to Sphera as a Senior Financial Analyst would allow me to apply Amazon's scale insights while supporting the company's purpose-driven mission.
During my time at Amazon, I prepared financial statements for global leadership, identified cost savings of $16M annually, and partnered with Salesforce and operations teams to close variance gaps quickly. The cross-functional storytelling I learned there is something I want to bring back to Sphera's finance team, where stakeholder alignment is key.
Earlier at Sphera, I reduced the budgeting cycle time by 25% and mentored analysts on compliance best practices. Those lessons stayed with me through the growth challenges at Telecon and Amazon, where I drove process improvements without sacrificing governance or accuracy. I understand how to keep finance's credibility intact while enabling rapid decision cycles.
I am excited about the opportunity to blend Amazon's data discipline with Sphera's sustainability focus. I would love to discuss how my experience preparing board reports, identifying savings opportunities, and building collaborative relationships can add value to your team.
Thank you for considering my application. I would enjoy the chance to connect and explore how I can support Sphera's financial planning needs.
Sincerely,
Casey J.
