Head, Research & Strategy

Key certification — The ACCA certification is a direct screening criterion. If you hold it, put it at the top of your CV. Without it, compensate with quantified achievements proving equivalent competency.

Positioning — Your cover letter must answer one question: why YOU for THIS specific role right NOW? Avoid generic templates — one sentence on what you specifically bring beats three generic paragraphs.

Targeted application — Align your CV to this offer's exact keywords and back every claimed skill with a concrete example. A cover letter showing you understand the specific challenges of this role consistently makes the difference.
