Sergei Sokolov - CV Logistics Manager / Manager of Chartering Division

Dear Hiring Manager, I am writing to express my interest in the Manager of Chartering Division position at your company. I believe that my education, skill-set, and experience make me a suitable candidate for this vacancy. As a highly accomplished and successful manager with 10+ years of experience overseeing freight vessels and logistics operations, I possess a wide range of knowledge and experience that will allow me to contribute to the success of your company. In my current role as the Head of the Fleet Management department at Gazprom NeftShelf LLC, I am responsible for all aspects of the company’s oil freight operations. This includes ensuring that freight is delivered on time and within budget, all obligations arising from the contract and charter party are carried out, and that any necessary requirements are complied with. Prior to my work at Gazprom NeftShelf LLC, I had a chance to work in two international companies for nearly a year: Integral Petroleum SA in Azerbaijan, as a Fleet Operator and Vesta Trading and Supply FZE in UAE, as a Freight Manager. This experience allowed me to gain the necessary exposure to work in a multicultural environment. My excellent multitasking and time management skills make it possible to perform the duties required by this position and my friendly interpersonal and strong negotiating skills are great assets that help when dealing with suppliers, agents, brokers, and owners. My proven ability to optimize operations and team success, along with my solid skills in communication, negotiation, and problem-solving will contribute immensely to the success of your team. I look forward to discussing this position in further detail. Thank you for your consideration.
