Role
Who you are
- 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
- 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
- If you’re interested in this role, but do not meet 100% of the qualifications listed above, we encourage you to apply. We'd like to consider you for this position and roles that may be a fit in the future
What the job involves
- 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
- 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
- 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
Our take
Nirvana's insurance and risk management offerings are built to transform the commercial insurance industry, which is worth over $850B. It delivers predictive models that use real-time data and automation to generate instant quotes.
Targeting commercial fleets, the platform is powered by sensors that are already onboard most heavy trucks. This means that Nirvana's offering is accessible without vast onboarding fees, giving clients of all sizes the opportunity to protect themselves and improve customer safety.
The company received some serious funding at the end of 2026, bringing its valuation to $1.5B and is now set to accelerate development of what it describes sas the first AI-native operating system built specifically for insurance. And as pressure mounts across the commercial trucking sector, Nirvana is positioning itself not just as a faster insurer, but as a foundational AI platform capable of reshaping underwriting, claims and risk management at industry scale.
