About Nebius:
Nebius is leading a new era in cloud infrastructure for the global AI economy.

The Role
Nebius is looking for an exceptional commercial leader who thrives where Strategic Sales, Business Development, and Commercial Strategy intersect.

You will lead our Strategic Sales organization across Frontier AI Labs, hyperscalers, and a select group of the world’s most important AI companies while serving as a strategic thought partner to executive leadership on Nebius’ largest commercial opportunities.
We’re looking for someone who naturally challenges conventional thinking. Someone who sees partnership opportunities others miss, invents new commercial models, structures creative multi-party agreements, and helps define how Nebius grows over the next decade.

Build repeatable strategic pursuit methodologies that scale from initial engagement through multi-year enterprise partnerships.
Leverage NVIDIA, OEM, ISV, SI, and strategic ecosystem partners as an integrated part of Nebius’ growth strategy.

What We’re Looking For

A first-principles commercial thinker. You challenge assumptions, rethink how industries operate, and consistently bring ideas leadership hasn’t heard before.
Deep experience leading Strategic or Enterprise Sales organizations within cloud infrastructure, AI infrastructure, enterprise software, or hyperscale technology companies.

A high-energy, ownership-oriented leader who thrives in fast-moving environments where creativity and execution are equally important.
