Head of Finance — Remote, Equity & Growth Impact

Who we are:

Nirvana is on a mission to harness the power of data to revolutionize commercial insurance and enable a safer world. We are bringing much-needed innovation into the legacy, trillion-dollar commercial insurance industry. We have developed cutting-edge predictive models that use real-time IoT data from billions of connected devices, allowing us to better understand and price risk. Our AI-driven platform fundamentally changes the way an insurance company operates with personalized risk scoring, faster underwriting, modernized claims, and proactive, data-driven insights to help customers prevent accidents.

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. Altogether, our loss ratio, efficiency, and customer experience are redefining what can be done in the industry.

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, Glassdoor, and Flexport, and includes industry veterans from Nationwide, The Hartford, and RLI.

In this role, you'll be the financial owner of Nirvana Insurance Services (NIS), a commercial insurance MGA and the engine of our written premium growth. You'll own its accounting close, revenue recognition, billing operations, reinsurance program economics, and business-unit FP&A end to end.

Today that work sits across several people as one piece of each of their broader, multi-entity roles. As we scale, NIS deserves a single, accountable owner — and this is that seat. You'll report to our CEO, oversee our Accounting, Billing, and FP&A teams, and partner closely with our cross-functional leaders across the company.

This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment. You'll build and enhance the processes, source of truth, and the team behind one of the most economically important parts of the company.

• Own NIS's monthly, quarterly, and annual FP&A cycle — budget-vs-actual for the company and its programs — and author the variance narrative that feeds our board process

• Own NIS's accounting close and revenue recognition for MGA commission income (ASC 606), including treaty-year commission-rate reconciliation

• Own NIS's billing operations — premium invoicing, mileage-based installment billing, agency commission netting — across all insurance programs, partnering with the Billing team on execution and serving as the escalation point for billing disputes and cancellations

• Own premium trust account funding approval and serve as the escalation point for fronting-carrier remittance operations, partnering with our Controller's team on execution

• Own the reconciliation of NIS's reinsurance program economics — quota share loss ratios and provisional and contingent commission true-ups by treaty year — and build the single, shared source of truth behind them

• Own financial oversight of our subproducer and agency agreements, from reviewing terms to resolving remittance and commission-balance questions with our agency partners

• Coordinate NIS's audit deliverables with our external auditors as part of the broader company-wide engagement

• Author NIS's financial narrative and results for the board deck

• Serve as the day-to-day financial partner to our Fleet, Business Auto, and Non-Fleet business-unit…
