Dear Recruiting Manager:

I am writing to apply for the New Business Developer position with Grater Corporation posted on the Grater Careers website. I recently completed my Master of Science in Leadership from Northeastern University and have prior experience as an entrepreneur within the science field. This position is a great opportunity for me to utilize my background in Chemistry in a corporate setting,
and I am confident I will be a valuable contributor to the Grater team.

I worked in the chemistry and materials science field for several years prior to beginning my Master of Science in Leadership program. My goal was to learn how to commercialize chemistry ideas to help innovate within business. As an entrepreneur, I have experience in creating business plans for two startups and have successfully helped them to optimize their unique business models. I am comfortable making business cases based upon value and risk assessments, and seek to build my career in combining the technical and business aspects of early development projects, both internally and externally, so my prior experience will allow me to successfully analyze future business and determine their investment worth for Grater.

Additionally, I have strong analytical skills and enjoy synthesizing information as part of evaluating potential new markets and opportunities. Grater’s emphasis on product development across industry areas and entrepreneurial culture truly resonates with me as an entrepreneur and scientist. If chosen to be part of the Grater team, I can assure you, I would work hard to achieve benchmarks for outstanding performance and bring value to Grater Corporation through utilizing my combined business and science based professional background.
