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.
The role
Nebius is seeking a IT Risk & Controls Manager to act as an embedded risk partner to our engineering and technology organizations.
You will help scale and strengthen a modern IT SOX and controls framework across Nebius ’s custom-built AI cloud platform, infrastructure, corporate technology environment and other systems supporting financial reporting.
This role goes beyond traditional IT audit testing. You will work directly with engineering leaders, system owners, Finance, Internal Controls and external auditors to identify risk, design scalable controls, improve evidence quality, drive remediation and embed compliance into the way our technology organizations operate.
The successful candidate will combine deep IT risk and controls expertise with meaningful in-house technology experience. You must be equally comfortable discussing technical control design with engineers, explaining risk implications to business leaders and aligning audit expectations with external assurance providers.
Your responsibilities will include:
Act as the risk and controls partner for an assigned technology organization or system portfolio, developing a detailed understanding of its architecture, operations, risks and financial-reporting dependencies.
Own and continuously improve the relevant IT risk and control framework, including system scoping, risk assessment, RCM and control-catalogue maintenance, documentation and control ownership.
Lead IT SOX readiness for assigned systems, including walkthrough preparation, evidence-quality review, testing coordination, issue evaluation and remediation oversight.
Partner with engineering, platform, infrastructure, security and corporate IT teams to design and implement scalable controls that address risk while supporting operational efficiency.
Design, assess and enhance ITGCs across areas such as user access, privileged access, segregation of duties, change management, SDLC, system operations, incident management and third-party services.
Assess IT application controls, automated controls and IT-dependent business controls, including the completeness and accuracy of system-generated information used in business-process controls.
Evaluate how business controls depend on systems, integrations, configurations, reports and underlying ITGCs, and work with both business and IT control owners to resolve gaps.
Apply risk and controls thinking to modern engineering practices, including cloud infrastructure, DevOps, CI/CD, repositories, deployment processes, containerized environments and audit logging.
Lead the assessment and remediation of control gaps arising from new systems, major technology transformations, platform changes, integrations and acquisitions.
Review third-party assurance reports and determine the impact of vendor controls and complementary user-entity controls on the Nebius control environment.
Maintain effective working relationships with external auditors and advisers, aligning on audit scope, evidence expectations, testing approaches, reliance opportunities, timelines and issue resolution.
Translate complex technical risks and auditor requirements into practical guidance for engineering and system owners.
Use data analytics, automation, continuous monitoring and AI-assisted tools to improve control coverage, evidence quality and the efficiency of the IT SOX program.
Contribute to the development of IT controls methodology, standards, tooling, training, reporting and the broader Risk Partner operating model.
Provide clear, concise updates on control health, audit readiness, deficiencies and remediation progress to senior technology and Finance stakeholders.
We expect you to have:
A degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, Engineering, Accounting, Finance or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
At least eight years of progressive experience in IT risk, IT controls, IT SOX, technology assurance, IT audit or a closely related area.
Meaningful in-house technology or corporate ownership experience is required. Big Four or consulting experience is valuable when combined with subsequent in-house responsibility, but an exclusively advisory or external-audit background will not be sufficient.
Experience working in a first-line technology, engineering, systems or IT operations role, or as an embedded in-house risk partner supporting a technology organization.
Hands-on experience in an engineering-led technology, cloud, SaaS, platform or digital-product environment.
Strong practical knowledge of SOX 404, ITGCs, IT application controls, automated controls, COSO and COBIT.
Demonstrated experience with control design, implementation, monitoring, evidence review, audit readiness, issue evaluation and remediation.
Practical understanding of modern technology environments, including cloud infrastructure, IAM, DevOps, CI/CD, SDLC, software repositories, deployment practices, system integrations and container orchestration such as Kubernetes.
Experience connecting business-process controls to supporting systems, automated controls, IPEs/IUCs and underlying IT dependencies.
The ability to communicate effectively with engineers, technical leaders, Finance stakeholders and external auditors.
Strong judgment and the confidence to challenge control owners while developing practical, scalable solutions.
A highly autonomous and hands-on approach, with the ability to operate effectively in an evolving environment with incomplete processes and competing priorities.
Strong written and verbal English.
The ability to work effectively across international time zones and travel when needed to build relationships with key technology and audit stakeholders.
It will be an added bonus if you have:
A professional certification such as CISA, CRISC, CISM, CIA, CPA or an equivalent qualification.
Experience building or materially transforming an IT SOX or technology-controls framework in a listed or pre-IPO technology company.
Experience in AI infrastructure, cloud platforms, large-scale SaaS, fintech, marketplaces or another engineering-intensive environment.
Experience with GRC and audit-management tools such as Workiva, Jira, ServiceNow GRC or similar platforms.
Experience with enterprise SaaS and financial systems such as NetSuite, HR platforms, billing systems, procurement tools or treasury systems.
Experience onboarding acquired companies or newly implemented systems into SOX scope.
Experience with control automation, continuous monitoring, data analytics or AI-assisted assurance.
Exposure to AI governance, AI/ML control environments or controls supporting AI-enabled development and operations.
