Re: Manager, German Advocacy – Application
Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to express my interest in the position “Manager, German Advocacy position at AFME“ in Frankfurt. With extensive experience in international finance, policy advocacy, and stakeholder engagement, I bring a unique combination of analytical expertise, strategic vision, and hands-on experience that aligns closely with AFME’s mission to strengthen the understanding of capital markets and influence regulatory developments in Germany and Europe.
Throughout my career, I have worked at the intersection of policy, finance, and diplomacy. As a senior adviser and negotiator in climate finance and sustainable development, I have coordinated complex projects and multilateral processes for international institutions, including the UNFCCC, G20, and UNASUR, serving both as a negotiator and as an adviser to senior officials. I have extensive experience in engaging high-level stakeholders, drafting strategic briefings, and ensuring clear communication of complex policy matters—a skillset directly transferable to coordinating AFME’s German advocacy efforts.
In addition, my work in German and European contexts, including with Germanwatch e.V. and multiple EU-funded initiatives, has strengthened my understanding of German political institutions, regulatory frameworks, and advocacy practices. I am highly proficient in both German and English, and adept at synthesizing complex regulatory and policy information into actionable insights for diverse audiences, including senior executives, policymakers, and financial institutions.
I am particularly drawn to AFME’s pan-European approach and the opportunity to support Frankfurt-based advocacy initiatives while contributing to broader EU-level policy alignment. My experience building stakeholder networks, managing high-level engagements, and coordinating cross-functional teams equips me to deliver impactful advocacy outcomes in line with AFME’s strategic objectives.
I would welcome the opportunity to bring my expertise in policy analysis, stakeholder engagement, and multilateral coordination to AFME’s Advocacy team and support your mission of advancing the role of capital markets in Europe. I am available for an interview at your convenience and can be reached via email or phone.
Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of contributing to AFME’s advocacy initiatives in Germany and across Europe.
Yours sincerely,
Mariana Inés Micozzi
