Cold outreach to hiring managers

Example

Given the high level of interest, thought it might be easier to share the template here for everyone. I hope this helps.

“Hi [First Name],

I’m writing about the PM role at [Company Name] specifically [Role Name].

Here’s why I’m a great fit:

• 5 + years of experience as a product manager at [x company] extensively in payments and consumer facing products.

• Managed a cross-functional team of 8, including engineers and designers, to launch the product.

• Provided regular updates to senior leadership on product performance, key initiatives and strategic recommendations

Let me know in case you can refer or help me get in touch with someone who is hiring for the role.

Thanks in advance!”

Note: It also helps to reach out to individuals who understand your job role very well. If you can spend some time discussing your experience with them, it will make for a much better referral.
