I have [number] years of experience as a product manager, most recently at [Current company], where my focus is roadmaps, customer interviews, prioritisation, A/B tests, writing specifications. Two results from that work: - Led the launch of saved searches; weekly active users rose 18% in two months - Ran 25 customer interviews and cut the sign-up form from 11 fields to 4; completion went from 52% to 71% [One or two sentences on why this company: a product you use, a goal from the posting, a problem you can help with.] I would bring the same focus on measurable results to your team. I would welcome the chance to talk about how I can help. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, [Your name]
