Dear Hiring Team at Intesa Sanpaolo,

I am writing to express my interest in the ISPIRE Risk Analyst position within your esteemed organization. With a recently completed MSc in Finance from Dublin City University (DCU) and a solid foundation in risk management, financial analysis, and quantitative methods, I am eager to contribute effectively to your risk management team.

Throughout my academic journey, I have developed strong analytical and numerical skills, and I have gained a thorough understanding of financial instruments and markets. My coursework included modules such as Financial Statement Analysis, Corporate Finance, and Financial Markets and Derivatives, which have equipped me with the necessary knowledge to monitor, analyze, and report on various risk exposures, such as liquidity risk, market risk, and FX risk.

While I am currently enhancing my programming skills through courses, I have worked with R for my academic assignments. Additionally, my proficiency in MS Excel, including the use of macros, and other MS applications such as Word and PowerPoint, allows me to perform data analysis and present findings effectively.

Key responsibilities in this role, such as maintaining and developing risk management systems and models, monitoring bond portfolio compliance, performing daily derivatives valuations, and conducting operational risk activities, align well with my academic and practical experiences. During my internship as a Virtual Customer Support Executive at Amazon India, I demonstrated strong attention to detail, effective communication skills, and the ability to work under pressure to meet tight deadlines.

I am particularly enthusiastic about the opportunity to work within a team of professionals and contribute to the continuous improvement of risk management processes at Intesa Sanpaolo. Your commitment to supporting customers and promoting growth in various markets resonates with my career aspirations, and I am keen to be part of such a dynamic and forward-thinking organization.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my academic background, risk management knowledge, and enthusiasm for quantitative analysis can contribute to the success of your team.
