Role

Who you are

  • Structured problem-solver: You’re a logical thinker and make decisions based on data, but also have good instincts when data is limited
  • Owner: No challenge is too complex, no issue is too hard
  • Tenacious: You’re comfortable navigating high-stakes, conflict-laden situations, and can act quickly and decisively with diplomacy and tact
  • Extremely organized: You balance a packed schedule, an endless to-do list, and never let anything drop
  • Strong communicator: You communicate effectively to a wide range of audiences (from senior executives to entry-level employees) and can masterfully tailor your approach to suit the circumstances
  • 7+ years of experience; ideally a mix of management consulting, venture capital, or private equity, and product, business operations, strategy or growth
  • Bachelor's degree in a STEM, economics, or related discipline
  • Must be located in the San Francisco Bay area or willing to relocate (you will be working on-site at our Palo Alto office)

What the job involves

  • We are looking for a Chief of Staff to work directly with our founder/CEO and partner closely with our executive team
  • You will act as an extension of our CEO and own a variety of projects ranging from solving operational issues, driving alignment and execution on critical initiatives, increasing his efficiency by helping him prioritize his most important meetings and communications, making decisions on his behalf, and keeping our teams accountable
  • You will foster trust and credibility with the rest of the executive team as the CEO’s closest proxy and advisor
  • Your main objective will be to identify and remove bottlenecks for our CEO and partner closely with him to scale our business
  • As a Chief of Staff to the CEO, you will have a unique opportunity to view and understand a company’s day-to-day challenges and priorities from the vantage point of a CEO
  • You will be exposed to every function at Jerry (product, operations, finance, engineering, data, marketing, etc) and learn how to execute big-picture strategies and navigate the intricacies of a complex business
  • A successful Chief of Staff will likely go on to lead a function here or elsewhere. If you’re looking for an opportunity to greatly accelerate your career trajectory, we’d love to hear from you

Our take

Most drivers in America don’t shop around before renewing their car insurance due to the complexity of comparison sites. Jerry simplifies this process with an AI-powered service requiring minimal personal details to search and secure insurance contracts. Initially focused on insurance comparison, Jerry has expanded into auto refinancing.

Jerry stands out by offering a fully automated experience and comprehensive services for car ownership, including repairs and maintenance, unlike its competitors. These features have made Jerry the most downloaded and top-rated app in its category.

In 2023, Jerry raised $110 million in Series C2 financing, led by Park West Asset Management and others. The funding will expand the app’s services, including GarageGuard, which provides maintenance cost estimates and partner discounts, and DriveShield, which tracks driving scores and offers rewards. Serving 4 million Americans, Jerry has become the top broker for several major insurance carriers and is well-positioned for further growth in the $250 billion US auto insurance industry.
