Who we are:

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

To start, we’re transforming the legacy, $750B+ commercial insurance industry through cutting-edge predictive models using real-time IoT data (~50B connected devices by 2030), automation to deliver instantaneous quotes and faster underwriting, and proactive, data-driven insights to help customers prevent accidents. 

Nirvana is backed by top-tier VCs including Lightspeed and General Catalyst, and when it launched in Jan. '22 grew to >$10M premium run rate in under 6 months, more than 2x faster than best-in-class insurtechs. Our leadership team has helped scale multi-billion dollar companies from scratch including Samsara, Rubrik, Acko, and Flexport, and includes industry veterans from Hiscox, AIG, The Hartford and RLI.

About the role:

We’re hiring several Business Operations Managers who will scope and execute upon a variety of initiatives across our fast-growing organization alongside a world class team that is committed to revolutionizing modern commercial insurance. 

Reporting directly to executive team leaders, you will partner with many teams including Product, Marketing, Business Development, Claims, and Underwriting to craft and implement strategy and develop / enhance operations.

You will play a critical role in building the frameworks that enable Nirvana to launch new offerings and scale successfully and efficiently. Each week will bring a new set of projects and challenges, where success is measured by data-driven outcomes, and where you will have real ownership of and accountability to business results. Since we’re still in scrappy startup mode, there’s a lot of rolling up your sleeves and getting into the weeds to drive direct impact on a daily basis. We knock out today’s problems while balancing our need to build for the long-term.
