Corporate Operational Project Manager

The role

Nebius is looking for a Corporate Operational Project Manager to join Corporate Operations within the COO Office at our Amsterdam headquarters. The role focuses on our company-wide Data Center (DC) Readiness program, coordinating the corporate activities needed to launch new sites across countries and operating models. Working closely with Business Finance, Infrastructure and corporate functions, you will translate requirements into clear plans with defined owners, timelines and deliverables, with a primary focus on post-signing execution and launch readiness.

This is a hands-on role combining project delivery, process design and operational follow-through. You will help build a shared readiness process across the DC development lifecycle, connect early assessments with implementation, and bring structure to work across teams. An inquisitive, organized approach and clear communication are essential as plans, requirements and priorities evolve.

You’re welcome to work in our offices in Amsterdam.

Your responsibilities will include: 

• Project planning and delivery: Build and maintain per-DC readiness plans and checklists, with owners, milestones, dependencies and deliverables. Coordinate follow-up, identify blockers early and escalate timing or decision conflicts with clear options.
• Cross-functional coordination: Work with Infrastructure, Business Finance, Legal, Tax, Accounting, Treasury, Risk, HR, Procurement and other relevant teams to clarify requirements and coordinate execution. Define what each team needs, from whom and by when, and ensure handoffs support the next activity.
• Process design and improvement: Map existing workflows and build scalable readiness processes for different countries and DC operating models. Define triggers, responsibilities and checkpoints, incorporate existing functional processes, and turn lessons from live cases into improvements.
• Tracking and reporting: Maintain an integrated view of readiness, risks, decisions and open actions across DC projects. Consolidate information from functional sources, resolve gaps or conflicting dates, and prepare clear updates for stakeholders and leadership.
• Controls and governance support: Track applicable corporate requirements and conditions, confirm completion with functional owners, and maintain supporting records. Establish review and escalation routines while keeping professional assessments and approvals with the relevant functions.
• Tools and implementation: Configure and maintain project trackers and shared documentation, support adoption of the agreed process, and keep plans aligned when site facts, scope or dates change. Identify opportunities to simplify reporting and automate routine follow-up.

We expect you to have: 

• 7-10 years of experience in project management, project coordination or operations, with hands-on responsibility for delivering cross-functional projects.
• Experience working with multiple functions and stakeholders, ideally across countries or time zones.
• A structured and organized approach, with the ability to turn complex requirements into actionable plans and manage several workstreams, dependencies and deadlines.
• The ability to adapt plans when circumstances change, communicate the impact clearly and drive open actions through to completion.
• Clear documentation and reporting skills, including maintaining plans, process flows, records and project updates.
• An inquisitive approach and the ability to learn unfamiliar business and operational topics, ask thoughtful questions, and clarify requirements and ownership.
• Familiarity with project management tools and shared documentation systems.
• Strong communication skills in English.

It will be an added bonus if you have: 

• Experience designing and implementing cross-functional processes, governance routines or operational controls.
• Experience coordinating requirements across Legal, Finance, Compliance, Procurement or Infrastructure teams.
• Experience in a global, fast-growing organization or a program involving multiple sites or countries.
• Exposure to data centers, technology infrastructure, international expansion or operational setup in new markets.
• Familiarity with tools such as Asana, Jira, Confluence, SharePoint or similar project and workflow platforms.
