Every part of the journey - buy/sell, insurance, maintenance, repairs - is fragmented, complicated, and expensive.\nJerry.ai is building the first app to manage it all. 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.\nWe’ve reached 5M+ customers, raised $240M+, and scaled revenue 70X. We’re now expanding into adjacent verticals (e.g. home, motorcycle, RV, etc) to become the one-stop-shop for all your physical assets.\nWhy We’re Hiring\nJerry is expanding into several new markets at the same time. Capital allocation is now one of the most consequential decisions we make: each dollar committed to a new product line, a marketing channel, or a headcount is a dollar not available elsewhere.\nWe are hiring a Strategic Finance Manager, reporting to our VP of Finance, to build the analysis those decisions rest on. You will own the operating model and the planning cycle, partner with functional leaders across the company, and work closely with the CFO and the founders.\nWhat You’ll Own\nThe operating core is the model, the planning cadence, and the spend discipline the company runs on. Alongside it, you are the analytical partner on new opportunities - the products, verticals, channels and partnerships we are deciding whether to back. And over your first year or two, as our newer products scale and the audience for our numbers widens beyond the people who already know the business, the reporting itself has to reach a standard that holds up to outside diligence.\nOwn the operating model and forecast cycle:\nOwn Jerry’s driver-based operating model for the base business and expand it as we launch new insurance products and business lines.\n\nRun the annual budget and long-range planning process end to end - cadence, assumptions, stakeholder inputs, and the consolidated plan the executive team commits to.\n\nOwn the monthly and quarterly forecast cycle and variance analysis: Once Accounting closes the books, explain what moved against plan and prior period, why it moved, and what it means for the forecast.\n\nWrite the executive narrative: Translate the financial results into clear business insights for the CFO, the founders, the board, and our investors, at a standard that survives external diligence.\n\nLead monthly business reviews: Work with functional leaders and turn what the numbers show into the business decisions that need to be made.\n\nSupport the team in evaluating and implementing a planning system: Assess the options, make the recommendation, and own the rollout.\n\nBuild the financial case for new opportunities\nBuild the financial model for new product, vertical, channel or partnership: Size the market, model the economics, evaluate capital commitment and return profile.\n\nRead results back against the case: Once something is live, compare the actual economics to what we underwrote and carry the lesson into the next decision. Monitor product and channel economics including CAC and payback, policy retention and lifetime value, contribution margin etc.\n\nSupport corporate development: Capital markets and investor workstreams through diligence, modeling, and transaction analysis as the need arises.\n\nFrame build, buy or partner decisions: help refine the frameworks we use to compare the options and the return profile of each.\n\nUnderwrite vendor spend:\nBuild the business case before a commitment is made, support negotiation on terms, and give budget owners the visibility to manage their own numbers.\n\nWho You Are\nAccurate under deadline: Your numbers are right the first time, and they stay right when the deadline compresses. You check your own work before anyone else has to.\n\nPicks the right question: No one hands you the workstream. You decide which analysis will actually change a decision, and leave the rest alone.\n\nDirect communicator: You form a view, communicate it directly, and revise it when the evidence changes.\n\nExecutive-ready output: What you produce can go in front of the founders or the board without a rewrite - clear, precise, and honest about what the numbers do and do not show.\n\nOwner: You take ownership of outcomes and are comfortable building process where none exists yet.\n\nWhat You’ll Bring\n4+ years of relevant experience, ideally combining 2+ years at a reputable investment bank, corporate development group, or private equity firm with 2+ years in strategic finance or FP&A at a high-growth company.\n\nA bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, economics, or a similarly quantitative field.\n\nStrong financial modeling skills: driver-based operating models, three-statement mechanics, scenario and sensitivity analysis, and a working command of accounting concepts and GAAP.\n\nExperience with unit economics in a consumer or marketplace business, including CAC, LTV, payback, cohort retention, and contribution margin.\n\nA track record of translating complex analysis into a clear narrative for an executive or investor audience.\n\nStartup or high-growth experience strongly preferred, including building financial processes from scratch.\n\nHands-on fluency with AI tools for analysis, research, and workflow automation.\n\nNice to have:\nInsurance, insurtech, fintech, or marketplace experience;\n\nCFA certification;\n\nvendor negotiation or procurement exposure;\n\nfinance tech stack experience (NetSuite, Ramp, planning tools).\n\nWhile we appreciate your interest and application, due to the volume of applications we receive, only applicants under consideration will be contacted.\nPlease note:Jerry.aiis only able to hire full-time salaried employees who currently reside in AZ, CA, CO, FL, GA, IL, MA, NC, NJ, NV, NY, OR, TN, TX, UT, VA, or Ontario, Canada, and full-time hourly employees who currently reside in AZ, FL, GA, NV, NY, NC, TN, TX, UT, or VA.

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.\nImagine 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.\nWe 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.\nLed 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.\nWe 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.\nWe 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.","description_format":"text","description_chars":9335,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Parental
