Principal, EMEA GTM - Physical AI

About Nebius: Nebius is leading a new era in cloud infrastructure for the global AI economy. 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. 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 1,500+ includes hundreds of engineers with deep expertise across hardware, software and AI R&D. The role: Nebius is building the cloud infrastructure that will power the next generation of Physical AI—robotics, autonomous systems, simulation, and embodied intelligence operating in the real world. As a European-headquartered AI infrastructure company, EMEA is a strategic home market for Nebius and one of the most consequential regions in the global Physical AI buildout—from UK autonomy and foundation-model players, to German humanoid and industrial robotics, to Swiss legged-robotics and Israeli/Nordic frontier startups, to the EU's rapidly accelerating defence and dual-use AI ecosystem. The Principal, EMEA GTM – Physical AI owns our GTM motion across EMEA: a regional sales overlay role built to drive repeatable revenue within our first and most important segment—Physical AI natives based in or operating across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. This is not a generalist regional AE seat. It is a domain-led, EMEA-anchored pipeline generator and deal accelerator designed to create leverage: tighter narratives, sharper use-case framing, and category assets that the EMEA field can run independently. You will open strategic, executive-level accounts across the EMEA Physical AI ecosystem, generate qualified pipeline, and personally lead engagement across our EMEA Top 25 target list. On top-tier deals, you will partner directly with EMEA Account Executives, regional sales leadership, and the Physical AI Field CTO team to shape the opportunity early, act as executive sponsor, and accelerate time-to-close. In parallel, you will turn what you learn in-region into repeatable motions—subsegment theses, playbooks, and enablement—tailored to the EMEA buyer, the regulatory environment (EU AI Act, GDPR, data sovereignty), and the region's multi-country go-to-market complexity. This is a definitive “zero-to-one” opportunity to build the EMEA commercial foundation for a new cloud category from the ground up, in a region where Nebius has structural home-market advantage. You are welcome to work remotely from within EMEA, with strong preference for London or Munich; Paris or Amsterdam are also viable. Your responsibilities will include: • EMEA Pipeline Generation & Account Ownership: Generate qualified, industry-sourced pipeline and open strategic, executive-level accounts within the EMEA Physical AI ecosystem—autonomous vehicles, humanoid and industrial robotics, foundation-model and world-model builders, industrial computer vision, and the OEM/Tier-1 cohort investing in Physical AI in Germany, France, Sweden, and Italy. Personally own engagement for our EMEA Top 25 target list and ensure each account has a clear engagement plan and is actively progressing. • Deal Acceleration with the EMEA Field: Frame use cases and shape solution direction in the early stages of a deal. Partner directly with EMEA AEs, regional GMs, and the Field CTO on top-tier accounts to accelerate closure, acting as the executive sponsor and regional domain authority. Your involvement is the difference between a stalled de
