What the job involves

- This is a high-visibility, high-autonomy role for someone who wants to shape strategy at a fast-growing InsureTech company, not just execute on a predefined playbook
- Lead full-lifecycle M&A transactions from investment thesis development through sourcing, diligence, negotiation, deal structuring, legal documentation, and closing for both insurance and claims acquisitions
- Build and manage investment banking relationships to source proprietary deal flow and stay ahead of market opportunities in the InsureTech and claims TPA space

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.
