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.\nBuilt by engineers, for engineers. From large-scale GPU orchestration to inference optimization, we own the hard problems across compute, storage, networking and applied AI.\nListed 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.\n3PL operations manager\nPosition Overview\nThe 3PL Manager owns Nebius's network of external warehouses and the performance of the 3PL partners who run them. The role ensures that high-value data center hardware stored and handled by third parties is received, stored, picked and shipped to the same standard as in Nebius-operated sites.\nThe manager controls 3PL operations through SLAs, KPIs, audits and system data, coordinates daily flows between 3PLs and internal teams (Transport, Planning, Back Office, ITDC, Security), and drives cost, compliance and continuous improvement across all external locations.\nKey Responsibilities\n 3PL Network & Partner Management\nManage the portfolio of external warehouses and 3PL partners across EMEA/US/APAC.\nOwn contracts, SLAs and rate cards together with Procurement and Legal; prepare renewals and renegotiations.\nRun monthly operational reviews and quarterly business reviews (QBRs) with each 3PL; agree and track improvement plans.\nAct as the primary escalation point for 3PL partners and for internal teams on 3PL-related issues.\n Operations Control\nSet and enforce operating standards for 3PLs: receiving, put-away, storage, picking, packing, dispatch and returns (RMA).\nEnsure 3PLs follow Nebius SOPs for handling heavy, fragile, high-value equipment (racks, GPU servers, HSM devices).\nMonitor daily operational performance through WMS data, reports and site visits; act on deviations.\nLead root-cause analysis of incidents (damage, loss, mis-shipments, delays) and follow corrective and preventive actions to closure.\n Inventory Control & Audits\nEnsure inventory accuracy at external sites: cycle counts, annual stock takes and reconciliation with ERP/WMS.\nOrganise periodic on-site audits and inspections of 3PL warehouses (process, security, safety, documentation).\nCoordinate with Back Office on stock discrepancies, adjustments and asset records.\nSupport internal and external (SOX) audits for inventory held by third parties.\n Coordination with Internal Teams\nAlign inbound and outbound volumes with Logistics Planning and Transport so 3PLs have capacity and labour in time.\nCoordinate with ITDC and Project Managers on staging, kitting and release of hardware to data center sites.\nWork with Security on access control, CCTV, pre-arrival information and secure-storage requirements at 3PL sites.\nEnsure accurate and timely data exchange between 3PL systems and Nebius ERP/WMS (integrations, ASNs, stock reports).\nCost Management\nOwn the 3PL budget: storage, handling, value-added services and accessorial charges.\nValidate 3PL invoices against contracts and actual activity together with Back Office; resolve disputes.\nTrack cost per pallet / rack / movement and identify savings through consolidation, space optimisation and renegotiation.\n Network Development: Onboarding & Exit\nAssess needs for new external storage based on DC expansion plans and capacity forecasts.\nLead 3PL selection (RFI/RFQ, site assessment) with Procurement and onboard new partners: SOPs, system setup, training, go-live.\nManage 3PL exits and stock transfers with zero loss and full traceability.\n Compliance & Risk\nEnsure 3PL operations meet security, safety, insurance and customs requirements (e.g. bonded storage where applicable).\nMaintain audit-ready documentation on contracts, SLAs, audits and incidents.\nIdentify operational and dependency risks in the 3PL network and maintain contingency plans.\nTeam Leadership\nLead 3PL / External Warehouse Specialists as the function scales; set priorities, onboard and develop them.\nDefine workflows, responsibilities and escalation paths between the 3PL team, Warehouse Operations and Transport.\nKey Performance Indicators (KPIs)\n\nKPI\n\nDefinition\n\nSLA compliance\n\n% of 3PL SLA targets met (dock-to-stock, order cycle time, on-time dispatch)\n\nInventory accuracy\n\n% match between 3PL physical stock and Nebius ERP/WMS\n\nIncident rate\n\nDamage, loss and mis-shipment cases per 1,000 movements\n\nCAPA closure\n\n% of corrective actions closed by due date\n\nAudit results\n\nScore / findings from 3PL on-site audits and SOX tests\n\nCost per unit\n\n3PL cost per pallet / rack / movement vs. budget\n\nInvoice accuracy\n\n% of 3PL invoices matching contract and activity without dispute\n\nExpectations\nAutonomy: Full ownership of the 3PL network and partner performance; escalates contract, budget and major-risk decisions.\nImpact: Directly affects hardware availability, inventory accuracy and warehousing cost across all external sites.\nLeadership: Leads 3PL specialists and steers partner teams without direct authority.\nTravel: Regular trips to 3PL sites for audits, reviews and onboarding.\nWork Mode: Hybrid, with regular presence at key logistics sites.\nBenefits & Perks:\nCompetitive compensation\nCareer growth and learning opportunities\nFlexibility and ownership\nCollaborative and innovative culture\nOpportunity to work on impactful AI projects\nInternational environment and talented teams\nWhat's it like to work at Nebius:\nFast moving - Bold thinking - Constant growth - Meaningful impact - Trust and real ownership - Opportunity to shape the future of AI \nEqual Opportunity Statement:\nNebius is an equal opportunity employer.
