Financial Analyst - Employee Benefits

About Nava

Nava is on a mission to bring high quality affordable healthcare to every American. Today, healthcare costs represent 18% of our national GDP, and 20% of Americans have medical debt in collections. This problem is getting worse.

We envision a future where healthcare suppliers aggressively compete for business on the basis of cost, quality, and convenience. This is a world where competition pushes prices down while performance and quality improves, just like it does with every other industry in the United States.

With over 170M Americans relying on an employer for their healthcare, we’re starting our journey focused on fixing healthcare, one employee benefits plan at a time. We’re building a modern, tech-enabled benefits brokerage built on transparency, accountability, and innovation.

We are a growing team of dedicated and passionate professionals that believe in driving Nava’s mission forward and creating a real difference in healthcare.
