Hello!
My name is Jonas Medin and I am applying for the position as Trend & Consumer Insight
Manager at XYZ. At your convenience, I’d appreciate the opportunity to discuss the position
and my candidacy with you. You can find my CV attached.
I am looking to bring my knowledge in marketing research, statistics, marketing and business
intelligence together with my analytical skills, my commitment, creativity, interpersonal
communication skills and my curious attitude to succeed, in the mission to make
XYZconsumers and fans proud of their choice.
When I read about the position, I see my name on it: consumer insight (consumer
satisfaction, concept and product development, branding, loyalty etc), business intelligence
and implementation in a commercial environment. I have 15 years of experience in the
market research industry. During these years I have been subcontracting, conducting and
buying both qualitative but primarily quantitative market research and market research
projects. I strongly believe that I can be a good candidate for this role at Santa Maria.
Relevant experience and skills for the posted position include:






15 years experience of the market research industry including 5 years as a market
analyst. In depth knowledge of market research, market research projects and the market
research industry.
Unstoppable curiosity in costumer behavior, something that I´ve been investigating from
different perspectives. That has turned me from a statistician to a statistician with
strategic skills with a large network in the market research industry (subcontracting,
conducting and buying).
Projects of large variety: small & large, local & international, fast & slow moving
industries, B2B & B2C. And topics varying from industry flooring and day care to candy,
sports goods and food.
Strong ability (analytical and creative) to put data in context to identify gaps, think
strategically and propose way forward.
Excellent interpersonal and communication skills with a reputation of being able to
explain complex matters in an easy (and entertaining) way. This was the case when I
helped our top management team to decide the current business strategy.
Profound interest in business intelligence and in social media has made me develop skills
that now are implemented at Västtrafik.
On the private side I like to spend time with my family and my friends. I am interested in
sports, music, movies, travelling, photography, communication, brands and customer
experiences.
My main motivators: Curiosity and the desire to understand and improve.
My main professional interests: human motivation, communication, branding, business
development, business intelligence and creativity.
My main tools: Good analytical ability, easy to understand the others' perspectives, creativity
commitment and leadership by confidence.
Thanks for your consideration; I look forward to hear from you soon.
Kind regards
Jonas
