About the role:

Reporting to our Head of Corporate Development, you'll be a core member of Nirvana's newly formed Corporate Development team, supporting M&A, strategic investments, and partnerships across the insurance value chain. You'll work closely with Strategic Finance, Insurance and Claims leadership, and your work will directly inform executive and board-level decisions. This is a high-visibility role for someone who wants hands-on deal experience at a fast-growing InsureTech company and the chance to take on more ownership as the function grows.

About you:
  • 2+ years of experience in investment banking, private equity, corporate development, or a related field
  • Strong financial modeling and analytical skills, with experience evaluating complex transaction opportunities
  • Familiarity with financial services or FinTech is a plus; insurance or InsureTech experience is a bonus
  • Able to turn complex analysis into clear, concise materials for senior audiences
  • Highly organized and detail-oriented, comfortable managing multiple workstreams at once
  • Strong communication skills, both written & verbal
  • Self-starter who independently seeks out opportunities to learn & succeed
  • Bias-to-action: not afraid to get your hands dirty and stretch yourself
  • Owner mentality: takes accountability for actions and results
  • Thrives in high-growth, ambiguous startup environments
  • Able to work full-time in our San Francisco office
