É uma carta de apresentação que vem antes de um currículo.
Por enquanto, coloquei 'appropriate profile', mas não gostei.
Alguma sugestão melhor?
Obrigada desde já.

right type of profile
This is my suggestion:
"...that I have the 'right type of profile' in order to fulfil..."
Best of Luck :)

appropriate background, right kind of background
The use of "perfil" in Brazilian Portuguese is sometimes hard to translate. In this case I'm sure that "background" would be good idiomatic English.
Note from asker:
| Thank you for your suggestion. I agree with you, but decided that keeping the word profile would be ok in this case. |
