Having previously worked in a product support team for JPMorgan Chase & Co. investment bank, I have gained invaluable insights into the world of Agile Product Management. Over the course of two years, I was an integral part of a versatile and fully Agile team, collaborating closely with various stakeholders, including the development team and an executive director, who also served as my manager and Product Owner.

On a daily basis, I engaged in critical tasks such as gathering client feedback and translating it into user stories, backlog management, and backlog prioritisation. My qualifications as a Scrum Master allowed me to facilitate essential Agile ceremonies, including Daily Stand-ups, Sprint Reviews, Sprint Planning, and Retrospectives. This experience instilled in me a deep understanding of project management in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.

One of my significant accomplishments during my tenure at JPMorgan was contributing to the development of a greenfield tool that combined internal Employee Search Engine, Skype, Cisco Phone, and Employee lookup functionalities. The challenge of working on a completely new tool enabled me to identify and address potential impediments that often arise in greenfield projects. This experience sharpened my problem-solving and analytical skills, which are highly transferable to the field of data science.

It's important to mention that I had to leave JPMorgan due to health issues related to a long-term physical condition. I classify myself as a person with a disability and have taken some time off to address my health concerns. Despite this, I am eager to re-enter the workforce and contribute my skills and enthusiasm to JPMorgan Chase Bank.

In conclusion, my background in Agile Product Management, Scrum Master certification, and experience in greenfield projects make me a valuable candidate for the Junior Product Owner role. I am eager to leverage my skills, learn from your talented team, and contribute to JPMorgan Chase Bank's mission. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss my qualifications further in an interview.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of joining your team and contributing to your continued success.

Sincerely,

Naseer Ahmed
