Dear Ms Patel, thank you for meeting me yesterday about the Operations Coordinator role. I really enjoyed hearing about the planned expansion of your regional team. Our conversation has made me even more enthusiastic about the position, and I believe my experience managing supplier relationships would be valuable. Please let me know if I can provide anything further. Kind regards, Sam Jones.

If you hear nothing

If the employer gave a date, wait until it passes, then send a polite one-line chaser about a week later.
