John Watson, Director of Engineering

Subject: Request for promotion to Senior Project Manager

Dear John Watson, Director of Engineering,

I am writing to formally express my interest in being considered for the Senior Project Manager position, a step up from my current role as Project Coordinator. I have thought carefully about this request, and I believe both my results and my readiness support it.

Over the past cycles I have consistently delivered beyond the expectations of my current role. I delivered a $2M digital transformation project three weeks ahead of schedule, and I have taken on cross-functional coordination and stakeholder management that already reach into the responsibilities of the more senior position.

Just as important as the results is the scope I have grown into. I have been mentoring newer team members, owning decisions end to end, and representing the team in conversations that require judgement and accountability. In practice I have been operating at the next level for some time.

I am confident that a formal promotion to Senior Project Manager would let me contribute even more effectively while continuing to raise the bar for the team. I am fully committed to this organization and to earning the added responsibility.

Thank you for considering my request. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss it with you at a time that suits you.

Respectfully,

Sarah Jenkins
