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.
