About The Position

Nebius is seeking an experienced and operationally focused USA Regional Transportation Security Lead to support and strengthen in-transit supply chain security operations across the United States. This is a senior individual contributor role, sitting directly beneath the USA Regional Transportation Security Manager and serving as the primary operational executor for transportation security across the US network. The Lead is responsible for the hands-on delivery of transportation security across US shipment lanes, owning day-to-day operational execution, conducting route and carrier assessments, managing active shipment monitoring, and responding to in-transit security incidents.

This role requires regular travel across the United States for carrier engagements, route assessments, and incident response. It is well suited to a security professional with strong field experience who thrives in a fast-paced, operationally intense environment and takes personal ownership of outcomes.
