We are looking for a Community Operations Manager to support and develop Nebius Academy’s activities in Israel.

Community Operations Managers play a key role in shaping and supporting Nebius Academy’s presence in Israel. They help create a structured, engaging and well-organized environment for our students, alumni and partners by combining community care with operational execution.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting the planning and execution of community-driven events in Israel, including one large alumni event twice a year and smaller online/offline meetups.
• Maintaining ongoing communication with students and alumni: providing day-to-day support, proactively identifying issues, nurturing engagement across Discord, social media and newsletters.
• Managing applications and registrations for Academy activities, coordinating payments with the finance team, and assisting with administrative documentation when needed.
• Developing and maintaining our CRM: segmentation, communication flows, funnel visibility and basic reporting.

• Supporting onboarding and coordination of lecturers, mentors and teaching assistants, including contracts, time tracking and smooth day-to-day collaboration.
• Coordinating external and industry collaborations by aligning timelines, handling documentation and maintaining clear communication between stakeholders.
• Working closely with sales, marketing and internal teams to ensure initiatives move forward smoothly and remain well-coordinated.

• You genuinely care about people. You enjoy supporting students, checking in on their progress and motivation, and creating a positive community environment.
• You thrive in a fast-changing environment and are comfortable solving problems creatively and independently.
  
  

• Experience in tech, startup or developer ecosystems. Familiarity with basic AI, ML, SWE and DS-related concepts and terminology.
