Manager, Commercial Contract Compliance & Administration

Position Summary

Nebius develops and operates high-density data centers that support artificial intelligence and advanced computing workloads. The Manager, Energy Regulatory Compliance & Contract Administration, will oversee the regulatory and contractual obligations associated with the company’s electricity, natural gas, utility, and energy-market activities.

This position is responsible for helping preserve the company’s “license to operate” by ensuring that required registrations, licenses, reports, renewals, notices, and other regulatory obligations are completed accurately and on time. The Manager will also administer the post-execution life cycle of energy-related agreements, including tracking contractual commitments, deadlines, notices, security requirements, billing provisions, and renewal or termination rights.

The position will serve as a central liaison among Energy Supply, Energy Risk Management, Site Development, Data Center Operations, Engineering, Finance, Treasury, Credit, Procurement, Sustainability, and Legal. It will also coordinate directly with utilities, state regulatory agencies, independent system operators and regional transmission organizations, energy suppliers, and external advisors.

This is a hands-on, player-coach role. The successful candidate will be comfortable personally managing detailed compliance and contract-administration work while developing scalable processes and, as the company grows, supervising employees or third-party service providers.
