Dear Hiring Manager,

I am excited to apply for the position of Lead Analyst with BNY Mellon. With a Bachelor's degree in
Commerce and experience as an Analyst in ESG Research, I am confident in my ability to excel in this
role and contribute to the Global Investor Relations Advisory (GIRA) team.

As an analyst in ESG research, I have conducted data research on over 200+ companies from multiple
sectors on ESG KPIs. I have a solid understanding and experience in working on ESG-related
frameworks and disclosures such as GRI, TCFD, SASB, CDP, Sustainability Reports, Integrated reports,
and SFDR guidelines. Additionally, my experience as a Financial Coordinator has allowed me to gain
insights into the Sales side of a business and work on digital marketing strategies.

I possess a multi-faceted skill set that includes rigorous numerical analysis, high-quality
communication, and the ability to work independently without supervision to contribute to team
objectives. I am a self-motivated individual with excellent organizational skills, attention to detail,
time management, and prioritization. I am also proficient in Microsoft Office, including Excel,
PowerPoint, and Word, and have knowledge of more advanced applications and programming
languages.

I believe my skills and experience make me an ideal candidate for this position. I am passionate
about addressing sustainability challenges and driving positive societal change, and I am excited
about the prospect of helping to define the direction and strategy of climate-related ESG insights for
private companies, their investors, and the market as a whole. I am committed to making a
meaningful contribution to the improvement of businesses, communities, and the environment
around the world.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to discussing my qualifications further in an
interview.
