Senior Program Manager
About Nebius:
Nebius is leading a new era in cloud infrastructure for the global AI economy. 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.
About the Role
We’re looking for an experienced Senior Project Manager, Startup Ecosystem to drive execution across Nebius’ startup-driven initiatives turning ecosystem strategy into high-impact, scalable outcomes.
This role sits at the center of our ecosystem motion, owning end-to-end delivery and coordination of key initiatives across the Startup & Venture organization and broader GTM teams. This role will report directly to the VP of Global Startup Ecosystem.
This is not a traditional project management role — you will operate as a strategic planner and executor, ensuring ecosystem efforts are structured, aligned, and executed with rigor.
What You’ll Do
Lead End-to-End Execution of Strategic Initiatives
Drive execution of key ecosystem initiatives across the four core pillars within the Startup & Venture organization
Own timelines, stakeholders, and deliverables from concept → launch → post-mortem
Manage multiple concurrent initiatives with strong attention to detail and quality
Ensure initiatives are executed in a structured, repeatable, and scalable way
Ecosystem Orchestration & Cross-Functional Alignment
Own alignment across ecosystem initiatives and GTM motions to ensure cohesive execution across teams
Act as the central orchestrator across Sales, Marketing, Verticals, BDR, Channels, Product, and regional teams
Ensure initiatives are not run in silos, but as part of a coordinated, multi-touch system
Align timelines, messaging, and target accounts across initiatives to maximize impact
Drive execution cadence, follow-ups, and accountability across stakeholders
Identify overlaps, gaps, and sequencing issues — and resolve them proactively
Remove blockers and ensure initiatives move forward efficiently
Translate Strategy into Execution
Work closely with leadership to operationalize ecosystem strategy into clear, actionable project plans
Break down ambiguous goals into structured workflows, milestones, and ownership
Bring rigor, clarity, and accountability to execution in fast-moving environments
Ensure consistency in how initiatives are planned and executed across teams and regions
Enable Pipeline Through Ecosystem Initiatives
Partner with internal teams (Venture, community, industry), Sales, and BDRs to ensure initiatives are designed and executed to support pipeline generation and deal acceleration
Ensure clear ownership and handoffs across teams and improve visibility and coordination across the funnel:
Track how opportunities are sourced and progress across stages
Identify breakdowns in conversion and engagement
Align with GTM teams on:
Target accounts and quarterly priorities
Consistent messaging and outreach across touchpoints
Continuously refine how ecosystem initiatives translate into high-quality, well-coordinated opportunities
Project Operations & Execution Excellence
Define clear success criteria for each initiative:
Delivery against scope, timeline, and quality
Stakeholder alignment and satisfaction
Adoption and engagement
Establish strong project governance and execution cadence:
Milestone tracking, status reporting, and risk management
Clear ownership and accountability
Identify operational gaps and inefficiencies:
Improve workflows, coordination, and cross-team collaboration
Standardize processes to increase scalability and repeatability
Build playbooks and best practices to ensure consistent execution across initiatives
Continuously improve the speed, clarity, and effectiveness of delivery
Who You Are
7–10+ years of experience in Project management, Program Management, GTM operations in tech companies
Strong executor with a track record of delivering complex, cross-functional initiatives
Comfortable operating in ambiguity and bringing structure to fast-moving environments
Deep understanding of:

GTM and pipeline generation
Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously

Bonus:
Proven track record leading large-scale, cross-functional, and complex initiatives with strong, measurable outcomes
