Global EHS Manager

Why work at Nebius Nebius is leading a new era in cloud computing to serve the global AI economy. We create the tools and resources our customers need to solve real-world challenges and transform industries, without massive infrastructure costs or the need to build large in-house AI/ML teams. Our employees work at the cutting edge of AI cloud infrastructure alongside some of the most experienced and innovative leaders and engineers in the field. Where we work Headquartered in Amsterdam and listed on Nasdaq, Nebius has a global footprint with R&D hubs across Europe, North America, and Israel. The team of over 1400 employees includes more than 400 highly skilled engineers with deep expertise across hardware and software engineering, as well as an in-house AI R&D team. We're looking for a Global EHS Manager who is equal parts strategist and builder. This is our first dedicated EHS hire, which means you won't inherit a playbook. You'll write it. Reporting to the Head of Country HR Operations, you'll own the full scope of Environmental Health & Safety across our international footprint: offices, data centers, and mission-critical infrastructure environments operating 24/7 across multiple jurisdictions. This role sits at the intersection of regulatory compliance, operational risk, and people safety. You'll start by mapping where we are, build a global EHS strategy from the ground up, and then lead its deployment, working hand in hand with local HR Operations specialists in every country. You'll make the calls on where we use direct resources versus external providers, and you'll define what 'good' looks like for the company. If you want a role where EHS infrastructure already exists, this isn't it. If you want to build something that matters, and have the authority and support to do it, read on. Key Responsibilities Strategy & Program Design Conduct a global EHS needs assessment across all Nebius locations, mapping regulatory requirements, current gaps, and risk exposure by site type. Design and implement a global EHS strategy that covers data centers, offices, and other operational environments, including a clear framework for where direct hires, embedded specialists, or third-party service providers are the right model. Develop and maintain a global EHS management system aligned with ISO 45001, ISO 14001, OSHA, UK HSE, EU directives, and relevant local regulations across all jurisdictions. Establish a global EHS policy framework and ensure site-specific adaptations are compliant, current, and actively maintained. Define global EHS KPIs and reporting cadences; build the infrastructure to track and surface them to leadership. Compliance & Risk Management Ensure regulatory compliance across all operating countries, proactively monitoring legislative changes and translating them into operational requirements. Own the risk assessment process globally: hazard identification, evaluation, controls, and documentation, with a particular focus on data center and shift-based environments. Lead and coordinate internal and external audits; drive corrective action and continuous improvement cycles. Oversee incident and near-miss investigation processes, including root cause analysis and implementation of corrective and preventive measures. Serve as the primary point of contact with labor and environmental authorities when required. Support travel program safety compliance in partnership with relevant internal teams. Training & Culture Design and deploy EHS training programs globally, including site-specific onboarding protocols for data center personnel and contractor management. Build a genuine prevention culture, not a compliance-only mindset, across all levels of the organization. Partner with HRBPs and HR Operations specialists in each country to ensure local deployment of policies, training, and safety communications is consistent and effective. Lead or support Safety Committee structures at the global and site level. Operational Partnership Act as the embedded EHS expert for HR Operations: advise on how EHS requirements shape HR processes, from onboarding to incident documentation to site-level compliance tracking. Collaborate with local Security, HR Ops and site leadership to ensure emergency response plans, evacuation procedures, and PPE standards are fit for purpose and current. Support new site openings and data center launches from an EHS readiness perspective. Manage EHS vendor relationships and service providers as the program scales. What We're Looking For Must-Have Bachelor's or Master's degree in Occupational Health & Safety, Engineering, Environmental Science, or a related field; professional EHS certification strongly preferred (e.g., ISO 45001 Lead Auditor, NEBOSH, CSP, or equivalent). 5+ years of EHS experience, including demonstrable experience in a multinational or multi-site environment. Proven track record building EHS programs from scratch or from a
