I'm writing to apply for the General Manager position at [Company]. With hands-on experience in P&L management, Team leadership, Operations, I was excited to see this role — it lines up closely with the work I do best, and with what your team is looking for.
In my current role, I ran a $12M location, growing revenue 22% and improving operating margin 5 points in two years. I pair that with strong P&L and operations, and I'm deliberate about turning day-to-day work into measurable results rather than just activity. I believe that's exactly the kind of impact a general manager should bring to [Company].
I'd welcome the chance to talk about how my background in P&L management and Team leadership can support [Company]'s goals. Thank you for your time and consideration — I've attached my resume and would be glad to share more.
Sincerely, [Your Name]
