Nebius is hiring a senior Project Development Manager to take AI data-center projects from executed agreements through construction readiness. The role owns integrated development plans, budgets, schedules, permitting, utility coordination, risk registers, and handoff documentation. It requires extensive coordination among engineering, energy, finance, legal, delivery teams, municipalities, utilities, and external consultants. This is a build-phase position with substantial ambiguity, where the manager will help create development governance, readiness gates, and repeatable operating processes. The position is advertised as remote in Europe, although the operational scope described focuses on infrastructure projects across the Americas. ## Role DNA A quick view of the complexity, pace, ownership and collaboration implied by the job description. ### Job Complexity 5/5EasyHard ### Pace & Pressure 5/5RelaxedFast-paced ### Autonomy Level 5/5GuidedFull ownership ### Communication Load 5/5IndependentCollaborative AI insightThis is a senior, high-stakes infrastructure-development role requiring 8+ years of relevant experience and ownership of complex pre-construction dependencies.

I would quantify outcomes such as schedule protection, risk reduction, secured utility capacity, or avoided cost overruns. How do you manage utility coordination when power capacity, substation timing, or service requirements are uncertain? I establish a utility workstream with clear owners, assumptions, dates, escalation paths, and contingency scenarios. I incorporate utility milestones into the integrated schedule and risk register, validate commitments with providers, and regularly update leadership on impacts to project viability and construction readiness. What framework would you use to make a Go/No-Go recommendation for a development-stage project? I would assess site control, entitlement status, utility feasibility and timing, technical design maturity, owner obligations, capital assumptions, delivery schedule, contractual risks, and unresolved critical dependencies. The recommendation would identify required decision gates, risk mitigations, and the conditions that must be satisfied before progressing. How have you prevented scope, cost, or schedule drift across internal teams and external consultants? I use a single integrated roadmap with controlled assumptions, decision logs, milestone reviews, change governance, and accountable workstream owners. Frequent cross-functional reviews make dependencies visible early and allow the team to resolve conflicts before they become construction impacts. This team is still defining its operating model. How would you build repeatable development governance without slowing execution? I would start with lightweight, high-value controls: standardized project charters, readiness checklists, risk registers, stage gates, and handoff templates. I would refine these tools using lessons from active projects, ensuring governance supports faster decisions and consistent execution rather than adding unnecessary process.

We are building a full-stack AI cloud platform that supports developers and enterprises from data and model training through to production deployment, without the cost and complexity of building large in-house AI/ML infrastructure. Built by engineers, for engineers. From large-scale GPU orchestration to inference optimization, we own the hard problems across compute, storage, networking and applied AI. Listed on Nasdaq (NBIS) and headquartered in Amsterdam, we have a global footprint with R&D hubs across Europe, the UK, North America and Israel. Our team of 1,500+ includes hundreds of engineers with deep expertise across hardware, software and AI R&D. The Infrastructure Acquisition Group The Infrastructure Acquisition Group secures the land, power, and data center capacity that enables the Nebius AI Cloud.

Construction Readiness * Establish development readiness criteria and project handoff standards. * Verify permits, utility agreements, infrastructure planning, owner deliverables, and development obligations are complete before turnover. * Deliver projects to the Delivery organization with complete documentation, defined scope, and minimized development risk. * Identify and resolve development risks before they impact construction. Cross-Functional Collaboration * Serve as the primary development interface across Site Selection, Technical Due Diligence, Engineering, Energy, Finance, Legal, and Delivery. * Coordinate architects, civil engineers, environmental consultants, surveyors, permitting specialists, and other external partners. * Align internal stakeholders and external consultants to prevent scope, schedule, and cost drift throughout development. What Success Looks Like * Transform acquisitions into data center-ready development projects. * Deliver predictable development schedules, budgets, and readiness milestones. * Identify and resolve development risks before they impact construction. * Build trusted relationships with utilities, municipalities, consultants, and development partners. * Help build the standards and processes the Infrastructure Acquisition Group runs on as it scales. What You’ll Bring * You’re comfortable operating in ambiguity and building processes where none exist. You know how to independently lead complex infrastructure developments while helping define how future projects should be executed. * 8+ years of experience in data center development, industrial development, infrastructure development, land development, or mission-critical projects. * Experience managing permitting, entitlement, utility coordination, consultant management, and development planning activities. * Strong understanding of infrastructure development, owner’s budgeting, development scheduling, risk management, and pre-construction planning. * Experience coordinating multidisciplinary teams across engineering, utilities, design, legal, and construction. * Excellent communication and executive presentation skills. * Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Architecture, Real Estate Development, Urban Planning, or a related discipline, or equivalent experience.
