Head of Finance

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 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 Head of Strategy & Finance, 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 sub producer 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 leads

• Build and lead a small, high-leverage team, with an accountant, FP&A lead, and billing operations associates

• Hands-on experience across both accounting and finance/FP&A inside an operating company of approximately 8 - 12 years

• Detail-oriented and execution-focused, with the resilience to thrive in a high-performance, fast-paced setting

• Hands-on operator: comfortable digging into the details with teams, implementing solutions, and…
