About the Role

Nebius is seeking an Internal Controls Business Partner to support critical finance and corporate processes, initially including Tax, Treasury and HR. You will work closely with senior process owners as an embedded risk partner, helping translate SOX, financial reporting and governance requirements into practical and sustainable ways of working. This role goes beyond traditional controls administration and audit coordination, combining internal controls expertise with in-house business experience to help teams identify risk, design and implement controls, resolve deficiencies, and improve processes through technology and automation.

Responsibilities

  • Act as the primary risk and controls partner for assigned functions, initially including Tax, Treasury, HR and other corporate processes.
  • Develop a detailed understanding of relevant business processes, systems, financial reporting risks and operational priorities.
  • Lead process risk assessments and maintain high-quality risk and control matrices, process narratives, control descriptions and ownership documentation.
  • Partner with process and control owners to design practical controls that address identified risks without creating unnecessary operational complexity.
  • Guide business owners on control execution, evidence requirements and documentation.
  • Lead and support SOX walkthroughs, audit-readiness activities, evidence coordination and the evaluation of control design and operating effectiveness.
  • Identify control deficiencies, facilitate root-cause analysis and work with stakeholders to develop sustainable remediation plans.
  • Monitor remediation progress and provide clear reporting on control health, risks, overdue actions and emerging issues.
  • Work closely with Financial Reporting, Internal Audit, external auditors and external advisers to align expectations and resolve control-related questions.
  • Represent the business context in audit discussions and translate auditor requirements into clear, proportionate and actionable steps for process owners.
  • Support business transformations, new system implementations, process redesigns, acquisitions and other strategic initiatives from a risk and controls perspective.
  • Identify opportunities to automate controls, reduce manual effort and improve continuous monitoring through data, dashboards, workflows and AI-enabled tools.
  • Partner with the IT Controls team where business controls depend on automated controls, system-generated information, EUCs, IPEs, IUCs or underlying ITGCs.
  • Contribute to the continued development of Internal Controls methodology, policies, training and the broader Risk Partner operating model.

Requirements

  • A degree in Accounting, Finance, Economics, Business or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
  • At least 7 years of relevant experience in internal controls, SOX compliance, financial risk, business-process controls, finance transformation or a combination of these areas.
  • Strong practical knowledge of SOX 404, ICFR, COSO, risk and control matrices, process walkthroughs, control design, operating effectiveness and deficiency remediation.
  • Meaningful in-house experience is required.
  • Experience working in a first-line business role, or as an embedded in-house risk and controls partner supporting process owners.
  • Experience supporting one or more corporate processes such as Tax, Treasury, HR, payroll, OPEX, Financial Reporting or other finance-related areas.
  • A track record of influencing process owners and senior stakeholders without relying on direct authority.
  • The ability to challenge constructively, explain control requirements in plain business language and balance risk mitigation with operational practicality.
  • Experience leading or supporting remediation, process improvement, system implementation or business-transformation initiatives.
  • Evidence of using technology to improve processes or controls, for example through automation, dashboards, data analysis, workflow tools, system configuration or AI-enabled solutions.
  • Working knowledge of management review controls, IT-dependent controls, EUCs, IPEs/IUCs and the relationship between business controls and ITGCs.
  • Strong written and verbal English.
