Nebius is a Nasdaq-listed AI cloud infrastructure company headquartered in Amsterdam with a global footprint and 1,500+ employees. The company provides a full-stack AI cloud platform supporting developers and enterprises from data and model training through production deployment, with deep expertise across compute, storage, networking, and applied AI.
As Senior Commercial Manager for Data Centers, you will drive commercial activities supporting Nebius's data center expansion and operations across the United States. You will serve as the primary coordination point between data center providers and internal Infrastructure, Legal, Finance, Treasury, and Procurement teams. Your scope encompasses provider funding requests, contractual commitments, change orders, prepayments, and commercial issues affecting delivery.
Key responsibilities include:
**Provider Commercial Management:** Own coordination of commercial matters with colocation providers, data center developers, and power infrastructure partners. Review provider requests for completeness, supporting documentation, contractual basis, and alignment with agreed scope and milestones. Coordinate negotiations on change orders, payment schedules, and other commercial arrangements with business owners and Legal. Track provider obligations and follow through on unresolved commitments, discrepancies, and disputes.
**Funding and Payment Coordination:** Drive funding requests, milestone payments, deposits, and prepayments through internal review and approval. Maintain a consolidated view of requested, approved, committed, and paid amounts across projects. Reconcile revised requests, funding reallocations, and previously paid amounts with Finance and providers. Coordinate with Legal and Finance on loan arrangements, escrow releases, guarantees, and other funding structures. Ensure documentation, signatures, and authorized approvals are completed before Treasury releases funds, and confirm payment receipt and allocation with providers.
**Cross-Functional Execution:** Establish clear owners, deadlines, and next steps across Infrastructure, Legal, Finance, Treasury, and Procurement. Lead focused reviews to resolve open issues and secure decisions. Prepare concise recommendations explaining requests, available options, financial implications, and delivery impact. Escalate unresolved issues early and drive them through to closure.
**Delivery Alignment and Reporting:** Work with construction, power, and operations teams to connect commercial decisions to project schedules and capacity availability. Identify funding or contractual dependencies that could delay procurement, construction, commissioning, or handover. Provide leadership with clear reporting on outstanding commitments, upcoming payments, and decisions required. Build repeatable processes for provider requests, approvals, documentation, and reporting as the portfolio grows.
This remote position will require travel between data centers.
