Dear Recruiting Manager,

My name is Jamie Truitt, and I am passionate about using insightful analytics to tell compelling stories and drive strategic decision-making. I am searching for a position managing a business intelligence team, where I can leverage my experience leading large projects, managing cross-functional teams, and analyzing financial and operational data. 

In my current role as a Consultant in BI & Analytics at Richey May, I have successfully led the end-to-end delivery of business intelligence solutions for multiple clients. I assist clients in integrating data from multiple sources to create meaningful dashboards and reports, empowering them to make data-driven decisions. These reports encompass all aspects of the business, including managing day-to-day operations, peer benchmarking, measuring employee and team success against goals, and providing transparency into margins and profitability.

Previously, at Ardent Mills, I advanced quickly within the company from a finance intern to a project lead, overseeing 12+ cross-functional data leads and external consultants during the implementation of a new ERP system. In this role, I collaborated daily with the CIO and other company leaders to develop our reporting and analytics strategy, decommissioning 20+ applications and creating solutions for 500+ end-user reports.

Additionally, I have experience owning and managing both a vacation rental property and a residential rental property. This role required skills in property maintenance, tenant and guest relations, rental collection, conflict resolution, and customer service. This hands-on experience has been invaluable in developing my operational and managerial skills.

Beyond my technical and managerial skills, I pride myself on my excellent communication and interpersonal abilities. I emphasize being an authentic and approachable leader and strive for continuous improvement. I am self-motivated, comfortable operating in ambiguity, and committed to fostering a collaborative and growth-oriented work environment.

Thank you for your time and considering my application. I am eager to bring my skills and experiences to a business intelligence manager role.

Sincerely,

Jamie Truitt
