The role

Nebius is looking for an execution-focused Project Manager to join the Cyber Security PMO, reporting directly to the Head of PMO under the CISO. You will own the delivery of complex, cross-domain security initiatives from initiation through to full deployment working closely with global stakeholders across Security, IT, Engineering, Product, Legal, and Privacy to ensure alignment, accountability, and consistent execution.

You’re welcome to work in our offices in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Your responsibilities will include: 

Project Management 

• Lead cross-domain security initiatives through the full project lifecycle from project charter and scope definition through planning, execution, monitoring, and formal closure. 

• Develop and maintain comprehensive project management artifacts including project plans, work breakdown structures, RAID logs, decision registers, and lessons learned documentation. 

• Decompose complex security programs into clearly defined phases, milestones, deliverables, and interdependencies ensuring each workstream has a named owner and accountable timeline. 

• Manage all project tracking, scheduling, and portfolio visibility in Jira, maintaining board hygiene, accurate status, and executive-ready reporting at all times. 

 

Communication & Reporting 

• Produce consistent, accurate, and concise project status reports for the Head of PMO, CISO, and senior leadership surfacing progress, risks, decisions, and next steps with clarity. 

• Maintain a regular reporting cadence across all active projects, ensuring stakeholders are informed, aligned, and equipped to make timely decisions. 

• Adapt communication style, depth, and format to the audience from technical engineering teams to executive leadership and global cross-functional partners. 

• Document and distribute meeting outcomes, action items, and decision logs in a timely and structured manner. 

 

Focal Point for All Project Stakeholders 

• Serve as the primary point of contact and accountability for all project stakeholders across Security, IT, Engineering, Product, Legal, Privacy, and Finance. 

• Manage global stakeholders across multiple geographies and time zones maintaining alignment, managing expectations, and ensuring no party is out of sync with project status or direction. 

• Facilitate structured project governance including kick-off meetings, steering committees, cross-team syncs, and retrospectives. 

• Build and sustain effective working relationships with stakeholders at all levels, from individual contributors to C-suite executives. 

 

End-to-End Project Execution 

• Drive project execution from initiation to deployment and closure maintaining accountability for scope, schedule, quality, and delivery outcomes at every stage. 

• Coordinate execution across multiple teams simultaneously, ensuring dependencies are identified early, handoffs are clear, and momentum is sustained throughout the project lifecycle. 

• Proactively monitor delivery progress against baseline plans, forecast deviations before they materialize, and implement corrective actions to keep projects on track. 

• Ensure all project phases are formally initiated and closed with documented approvals, acceptance criteria, and sign-off from relevant stakeholders. 

 

Problem Solving & Risk Management 

• Identify, assess, and actively manage project risks, issues, and blockers maintaining a structured RAID log and driving mitigation actions to resolution. 

• Anticipate cross-team dependencies and organizational friction points ahead of time; broker solutions before they escalate into delivery-impacting issues. 

• Apply structured problem-solving approaches to unblock teams, resolve ambiguity, and maintain delivery velocity under pressure. 

• Escalate critical risks and decisions to the Head of PMO with full context, impact analysis, and a clear recommended course of action. 

 

We expect you to have: 

• 3–5 years of hands-on project management experience with a strong and demonstrable delivery track record in complex, cross-functional environments. 

• Proven ability to manage the full project lifecycle from initiation and planning through execution, deployment, and formal project closure. 

• Deep proficiency in Jira as the primary project management tool: task and epic management, board configuration, dashboards, reporting, and portfolio tracking. 

• Strong project decomposition skills ability to break down ambiguous objectives into structured, executable workstreams with clear ownership and milestones. 

• Experience coordinating cross-functional delivery across multiple teams and senior stakeholders simultaneously. 

• Strong proactive mindset anticipates risks and blockers, takes initiative, and drives resolution without waiting to be directed.

• Experience working with Agile, Scrum, or hybrid project delivery frameworks. 

• Experience working with globally distributed teams in a high-growth technology or cloud infrastructure company. 

• PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent project management certification.
