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—reaching well over $100 million in premiums and more than doubling year over year. Our data moat is growing exponentially with more than 20 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 $170+ million raised, including an industry-leading Series C round in January 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.
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.
