General Manager – New Bets
Jerry
Shops car and home insurance and handles car care
About us:
Jerry.ai is a Series C, YC-backed tech startup with 5M+ customers and $240M in funding. Founded in 2017, product launched in 2019, and achieved profitability in 2024.
Our purpose:
Your car, home, and motorcycle aren’t just purchases, they’re the physical embodiment of the life you’ve worked hard to build. Yet the experience of owning them is stuck in the 90s. Every step of the journey — buying, insuring, maintaining, repairing, selling — is fragmented, complicated, and expensive.
Imagine having a trusted friend in your pocket who takes care of everything: they find you the right car or home at the right price, lock in the best insurance rate without you lifting a finger, remind you before that service appointment turns into an expensive repair, and help you sell at the best price when the time is right. That friend is Jerry.
We are building the first AI-powered advisor to manage all your physical assets. We started with your car in 2019, and now we’re expanding into new verticals (e.g. home, motorcycle, RV, boat).
About the role:
Our next chapter is about accelerating growth, from 5M to 50M customers by 2030.
This year alone, we launched 5 new products: home insurance, property tax, motorcycle insurance, car repair shop bids, and roadside assistance, among others within car and home ownership categories currently incubating. Each of these new businesses comes with its own operational complexity, distinct customer pain points, and its own path to scale.
We are looking for a General Manager to lead one of these new businesses. Reporting directly to our Cofounder/CEO, you will own the P&L, set the strategy, and be accountable for everything from product development, customer growth, partnerships, and operations. Depending on which product line, you may also lead a small team (1-2 people to start).
If you’re looking for an opportunity to build and scale a new business within a late-stage startup with an existing user base, product market fit, capital, traction, and a high caliber team, we’d love to hear from you!
Who we get excited about:
Owner: You act like your name is on the door. If something is broken, you feel responsible for fixing it, even if it’s outside your swim lane.
Insatiable learner: You are constantly seeking to deepen your knowledge, sharpen your skills, and master whatever you’ve set your mind to.
Tenacious: You are highly resilient. No challenge is too difficult, no issue unsolvable.
Sense of urgency: You have a strong bias for action and are impatient when progress is stalled.
What you bring:
6+ years of experience in venture capital, private equity, or hands-on operating roles in fast-growing startups
Bachelor’s degree in any discipline
Ability to work in person in our Palo Alto office alongside our CEO and executive team

About Jerry.ai
Jerry is building the first AI-powered advisor to manage all your physical assets.
Your car, home, and motorcycle aren't just purchases, they're the physical embodiment of the life you've worked hard to build. Yet the experience of owning them is stuck in the 90s. Every step of the journey — buying, insuring, maintaining, repairing, selling — is fragmented, complicated, and expensive.
Imagine having a trusted friend in your pocket who takes care of everything: they find you the right car or home at the right price, lock in the best insurance rate without you lifting a finger, remind you before that service appointment turns into an expensive repair, and help you sell at the best price when the time is right. That friend is Jerry.
We started with car insurance in 2019, became one of the top 3 brokers in the U.S., then added driving insights, diagnostics, and a repair marketplace. We've reached 5M+ customers, raised $240M+, and achieved profitability in 2024. We're now expanding into home, motorcycle, RV, and beyond.
Led by serial entrepreneurs and backed by Y Combinator, our team comprises talented and big-hearted leaders from places like Nvidia, Meta, Amazon, BCG, McKinsey, Bain, and GEICO. Our culture is the #1 reason people join Jerry and stay — we are a small and mighty team of competitive but kind people who think and act like owners, care deeply about the quality and impact of our work, and are relentless in our pursuit of learning and mastery over our craft.
We are proud to consistently rank as one of Y Combinator's Top Companies, Forbes and Statista's Best Startup Employers, and to have received other accolades in fintech and insurtech innovation, workplace culture, and leadership.
We support remote work for most roles, but if you prefer in-person or hybrid, we also have offices in Palo Alto, New York City, Chicago, and Toronto.
Jerry runs an app that shops for car, home, renters, and motorcycle insurance for consumers as a licensed broker, not an insurer, and also tracks car upkeep. It made its name with the car insurance app it launched in 2019, which lines up quotes from many insurers side by side and checks prices again at each renewal. Customers buy a policy in the app, Jerry cancels the old one, and licensed agents answer questions by chat or phone, while insurers pay Jerry a commission on each sale. The app also sends maintenance reminders, flags recalls, gathers repair-shop quotes, and scores driving to earn insurance discounts. Jerry was founded in 2017 through the startup program Y Combinator and is based in Palo Alto, California.
