About Nirvana The $1 trillion commercial insurance industry is broken, still running on paperwork and fax machines. Rates are disconnected from actual risk, quotes take weeks, and claims drag on for months. Nirvana is changing that - using data and AI to reimagine insurance from the ground up. We’ve built cutting-edge predictive models using 50B+ miles of proprietary IoT data, and AI-powered underwriting and claims to be >4x faster. We’ve proven the model with $300M+ run-rate, industry-leading loss ratios and are backed by marquee VCs like Lightspeed, General Catalyst and Valor. We're now expanding beyond an AI-native insurer into a broader platform - multiple businesses transforming the entire insurance value chain. This is a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of shaping a new paradigm in AI and AI and insurance. The role As Chief of Staff, you’d sit at the center of the business and work directly with Rushil on the most strategic initiatives across the company. You’d scale how we operate, solve the most critical problems and define new avenues for growth, especially where ownership is unclear. This is NOT a coordination role. We’re looking for someone who can operate in ambiguous and demanding environments, holds extremely high standards and has the ability to move from board-level strategy to execution detail without compromise. For the right person who wants to build, this is the perfect accelerant to owning your own P&L, ideally within Nirvana as we continue to expand or even beyond. Success here isn’t being in this role forever - it’s the opportunity to start something with Rushil’s full backing. Responsibilities include: * Drive clarity around critical decisions, separate signal from noise and follow-through until they become outcomes * Own high-priority projects and cross-functional initiatives that don’t have a natural home yet * Scale our operating rhythms with a high bar for impact - business reviews, off-sites, planning and more * Proactively identify and solve bottlenecks across the company * Run board and investor prep, and help shape how we tell our story externally Who we're looking for * 5+ years experience in high-ownership roles: we’re not wedded to a specific pedigree, we want smart generalists from the likes of consulting, finance, product, business operations, military, founder/CEO office, etc. Most important is to have operating experience in fast-moving environments * Previous founding experience strongly preferred, even if it didn’t work * Strategic and analytical thinker * Strong written and verbal communication skills * Bias-to-action and self-driven: you move fast and build things yourself with an AI-native mindset * Thrive in high-growth environments with limited direction * Very high judgment and maturity with sensitive, high-stakes information * High agency, low ego: you’re willing to do whatever the company needs * Executive presence and influence: you can push back, when necessary, on experienced leaders Benefits * Competitive salary & equity * Medical, dental & vision insurance (100% employer paid) * 401k with up to 4% company match * Unlimited PTO * Wellness reimbursement We set our salary ranges using compensation data from companies similar to our stage and size.
