Dear Hiring Manager’s Name or Hiring Team,

I’m writing to express my interest in opportunities where I can combine my strengths in program design, data systems, and automation to support innovation, streamline operations, and deliver meaningful results.

With 7+ years of experience leading programs across global innovation ecosystems, I’ve helped startups and teams grow by designing scalable systems, automating workflows, and bringing clarity to complex operations. My work blends strategy and execution — with hands-on expertise in Power BI, HubSpot, and generative AI tools, as well as a strong foundation in project and program management (PMP-certified).

In my current role as Program Data Manager at the Accelerator Centre, I lead both program delivery and internal systems strategy. I continue to manage international programs such as the Startup Visa Program, while also overseeing data reporting, dashboard design, and workflow automation.

Select contributions include:

• Developed real-time dashboards in Power BI to visualize application pipelines and founder engagement
• Automated intake, onboarding, and reporting workflows using HubSpot
• Created resource systems and operational frameworks to support founder-facing teams
• Applied AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Copilot) to accelerate reporting and documentation

Outside of work, I actively build and maintain my own productivity and knowledge systems using Notion, and I’m passionate about how tools, data, and systems can unlock better collaboration and deeper focus.

I’m drawn to organizations that value clarity, cross-functional teamwork, and thoughtful design. If you’re looking for someone who leads with empathy, systems thinking, and a calm, strategic mindset — I’d love to explore how I can support your team.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to connect.

Warm regards,

Shelly (Yeling) Xie
