What are the responsibilities and job description for the FP&A Analyst position at Nirvana Insurance?
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:
In this role, you will have the opportunity to work on a wide range of tactical and strategic projects that are critical to Nirvana’s long-term growth. Examples include driving initiatives to improve key financial and operating metrics, assisting in future financings and investment rounds, driving initiatives designed to boost the margin profile of the business units, and supporting other strategic initiatives.
You will work closely with senior leadership across all areas of the company. Accordingly, we are looking for a highly qualified candidate who thrives in a high-growth, unstructured environment with the ability to collaborate across functional areas and geographies.
