Strategic Finance Manager

Who we are

Nirvana is on a mission to modernize commercial insurance and enable a safer world. Our AI-driven technology platform delivers modern insurance and risk management to help our customers protect their businesses and to improve the safety of their operations.

We've already proven the scale—serving thousands of fleets and more than doubling our written premiums year over year. Our data moat is growing exponentially with more than 30 billion miles of telematics data, leading to more predictive models and new insights into how we can better understand and reduce risk.

With $270+ million raised, including our Series D round in December 2025, we're only accelerating our growth, with strong support from top-tier VCs including Lightspeed, General Catalyst, and Valor. Nirvana's leadership team has previously helped scale multi-billion-dollar companies from scratch, including Samsara, Rubrik, and Flexport, and includes industry veterans from Hiscox, The Hartford, and RLI.

In this role, you'll serve as a trusted strategic advisor to senior leadership across two fast-growing, AI-native businesses: an AI-native claims TPA and an AI-native platform for insurance.

As a strategic partner to senior leadership, you'll influence some of the company's most important decisions—from where we invest and how we scale to how we build an AI-native finance organization. You'll work cross-functionally, connecting strategy, finance, operations, and execution to help drive the business forward.

This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment. You'll tackle the company's biggest challenges, lead cross-functional initiatives, and help build AI-first systems, processes, and operating rhythms that will define our next stage of growth.
