Talent Acquisition Manager, Product & Infrastructure (APAC)

About Nebius

Built by engineers, for engineers. From large-scale GPU orchestration to inference optimization, we own the hard problems across compute, storage, networking and applied AI.

Listed 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 2000+ includes hundreds of engineers with deep expertise across hardware, software and AI R&D.

The Role

As the Talent Acquisition Manager for Product & Infrastructure in APAC, you will own how Nebius builds its infrastructure teams across the region. As Nebius continues to grow, you will be accountable for hiring across the technical and operational functions that underpin our platform in APAC.

This is a build role. You will establish recruiting processes where they don't yet exist, hire and lead a team of recruiters, and partner closely with regional leadership, HR and our global compensation team to make hiring in the region fast, consistent and high quality. You will operate with significant autonomy in an environment that is scaling rapidly and where plans evolve — comfort with ambiguity is essential.

This role is based in Singapore and works closely with stakeholders across global time zones.

Responsibilities

• Own infrastructure recruiting strategy and execution across APAC, from individual contributor through to leadership hires
• Build, lead and develop a regional recruiting team, driving accountability, performance and consistent hiring practices
• Establish scalable recruiting processes, tooling and data discipline to support growth across the region
• Partner with regional leadership to translate business priorities into clear hiring plans, prioritisation and sequencing
• Work closely with local HR and leadership to ensure hiring aligns with local employment regulations and market conditions
• Partner with our global compensation team on levelling, offer construction and market benchmarking across the region
• Manage external agency and vendor relationships, ensuring quality, cost discipline and clear accountability
• Use hiring data and market insights to guide prioritisation, capacity planning and recruiting investment — and to report progress and risk clearly to leadership
• Elevate hiring standards through structured assessment and hiring manager enablement
• Ensure an efficient and high-quality candidate experience across all hiring activity
• Step in as a player-coach on critical or senior searches when needed

What success looks like

• APAC infrastructure hiring plans delivered on time and to a high quality bar
• A high-performing regional recruiting team with clear ownership and strong data discipline
• Recruiting processes that scale ahead of the region's growth rather than react to it
• Regional leadership, HR and compensation partners operating from one shared, data-backed hiring picture
• External vendor usage that is deliberate, measured and demonstrably delivering value

Experience & Qualifications

• Proven experience leading recruitment in infrastructure, data centre, industrial or similarly operational environments
• Experience building and managing recruiting teams in high-growth environments
• Exposure to both high-volume and technical hiring preferred
• Track record of hiring across APAC markets, with a strong understanding of local talent pools and employment considerations
• Data-obsessed: fluent in recruiting metrics and pipeline analytics, and uses them to drive decisions, prioritisation and accountability
• Strong stakeholder management, with experience partnering directly with senior business leaders
• Demonstrated ability to design a team and process around a problem, rather than run an existing playbook
• Experience managing external agencies and vendors, including performance and cost management
• Comfortable operating in fast-scaling, ambiguous environments where priorities shift
