About the role

Equity is central to how Nebius attracts and retains the people building the next generation of AI infrastructure. As a senior individual contributor in Rewards, you will own accurate day-to-day administration and delivery of our global equity programs, help employees understand ownership, and strengthen operations and controls as our public company grows.

Responsibilities

• Administer the lifecycle of RSUs, options, and other awards, including grants, vesting, exercises or releases, settlement, transfers, forfeitures, cancellations, and terminations.
• Deliver new-hire, promotion, retention, and annual refresh events across our global programs in line with plan rules, approvals, controls, and timelines.
• Maintain accurate award, participant, transaction, and share-reserve data across the equity platform, HRIS, payroll, broker, and finance systems through reconciliations and validation.
• Partner with Payroll, Tax, Legal, Finance, HR Operations, and Mobility on withholding, settlement, cross-border moves, leaves, terminations, and complex operational cases.
• Prepare recurring and ad hoc reports and support equity expense, forecasting, reconciliations, board and filing data, audits, and control testing with timely documentation.
• Apply securities, insider-trading, fair market value, recordkeeping, and control requirements; support trading windows and escalate risks or gaps with practical solutions.
• Own the equity operations mailbox and provide timely employee and manager support; maintain FAQs and education on awards, vesting, transactions, taxation, and program changes.
• Track processing accuracy, reporting timeliness, data integrity, and enquiry resolution; partner with vendors and support automation, system testing, corporate actions, and new-country launches.

Requirements

• Hands-on stock plan administration or equity operations experience, ideally in a publicly listed multinational company; CEP or a comparable qualification is a plus.
• Strong working knowledge of RSUs, options, performance or other equity awards, vesting, exercises, settlement, payroll and tax interfaces, global mobility, and plan controls.
• Experience supporting public-company reporting, share-based compensation, audit, internal controls, and trading-window processes; familiarity with SEC, Nasdaq, or foreign private issuer requirements is an advantage.
• Advanced spreadsheet and data skills, with confidence using an equity administration platform, HRIS, payroll interfaces, reconciliations, operational reports, and large datasets.
• Excellent judgment, organization, attention to detail, and communication skills, with the ability to manage competing deadlines, explain complex equity topics clearly, and build trusted relationships.
