Professional Email: Announcing a New Job Role
Subject: Exciting News – New Job Opportunity
Dear Jonathan,
I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to share some exciting professional news with you. I have recently accepted a position as Marketing Director at a leading tech company headquartered downtown. It’s a big step forward in my career, and I’m thrilled about the opportunity to lead the department and introduce new plans for digital and traditional marketing strategies.
My new responsibilities include:
- Overseeing a diverse team of marketing professionals.
- Developing promotional content.
- Closely collaborating with the Sales Representatives and the Financial Director to align our campaigns with the company’s budget.
- Attending meetings with the CEO and other department heads to review performance.
- Updating the staff regularly on our progress.
The office space is fantastic. Key features include:
- A large lobby.
- A modern conference room.
- A spacious cafeteria.
My desk is on the top floor, right across from the Human Resources Director, and it’s close to the reception area. I’m already becoming familiar with the layout, though I sometimes get lost at the end of the corridor or behind the main staircase.
During my first week, I’ve already had to:
- Schedule a meeting.
- Prepare a presentation.
- Reply to several emails.
- Show someone around the office, as we recently hired a new employee.
It has been a busy but fulfilling start. I’ve also been involved in updating the mailing list and helping to file documents using our new desktop system and office intranet, which allows us to log in, upload files, and share spreadsheets quickly with other teams.
I genuinely appreciate the guidance and mentorship you gave me in our previous role. Your insights on team management, time tracking, and even using the photocopier properly (which I now do daily) helped me build the confidence to take on this new position.
Let’s catch up soon—I’d love to hear what you’re working on these days. Maybe we can arrange a lunch meeting or a call.
Best regards,
Christopher Allen

Subject: Guess what? I’ve got a new job!
Hey Laura!
Hope you’re doing great. I’ve got some awesome news I couldn’t wait to share with you – I finally got a new job! Yep, I’m officially the new Marketing Director at a big tech company in the city. I’m so excited and honestly still a bit shocked. It all happened so fast – I had the interview, then had to fill in a form, and before I knew it, I got the call that I was in!
The office is incredible – super modern! Features include:
- A fancy lobby.
- A chill cafeteria.
- A cozy kitchen where people actually hang out.
My desk is right by the corridor, next to the conference room, so I’m in the middle of all the action. On my first day, I got totally lost trying to find the toilets – I went down the hall, turned left, then had to ask someone at reception. Classic me.
So far, I’ve had to:
- Attend a bunch of meetings.
- Send emails.
- Show a new guy around the office.
- Help out with ordering office supplies (like a dozen pens, folders, and even a new shredder).
The company’s super organized – we use this cool intranet where I can log in, check the mail log, and even update documents from my laptop.
I’m in charge of a department now, can you believe it? I’m managing a whole team! We’ve already started to make new plans for our next campaign. My boss is the CEO, and he’s actually really chill. He even sat next to me during a training session and helped me figure out the scanner (you know I’m hopeless with tech).
There’s still a lot to learn, like how to use the projector and manage the budget for each campaign. But I’m really looking forward to the challenges and growing in this role. It’s been a while since I’ve felt this pumped about work.
Anyway, that’s my big news! Let’s grab coffee soon—I miss our catch-ups. I’ve got more fun stories to tell (like the moment I accidentally sent a message to the whole mailing list instead of just my manager… oops!).
Talk soon,
Chris
