About Jerry

At Jerry.ai, we're building the first super app for car owners – covering insurance, buy/sell, registration, safety, repairs, parking, and more. Since launching our app in 2019, we’ve amassed over 5 million customers and reached profitability.

About the Role

We’re looking for a smart, scrappy, and customer-savvy Director, Business Operations (New Partnerships) to help grow the supply side of our insurance marketplace. You'd work on the team responsible for identifying, pitching, and onboarding new insurance carriers, ultimately expanding the value we offer our customers.

This role is ideal for someone who loves the challenge of unlocking tough partnerships. Some carriers will be excited to work with us - others won’t. You’ll need to figure out how to make them say yes anyway, and make the partnership material for Jerry and our partners. That means thinking creatively, collaborating cross-functionally, and showing up with a compelling story and a strong point of view.

A New Jerrian on Why Working at Jerry.ai Was the Best Choice for Their Career:

"The biggest difference between my current role at Jerry and working at my last company is being able to feel the direct impact my work has on the business, every day. Before, I rarely felt like my work was having any impact on the world, despite advising the largest global corporations. Here, I can see that my work is moving the needle on key company metrics in a matter of weeks. When I say "key," I mean it: I am not talking about secondary KPIs that no one pays attention to, but business-critical metrics that the CEO and the rest of the C-suite look at on a daily basis (think sales, retention, pricing, etc).

I have also appreciated the professional growth opportunities. I have had flexibility to work on the skills I wanted to develop, be it technical or soft skills. I have found continuous learning to be one of my most important drivers of happiness at work. Getting the space and latitude to work on projects that I am most interested in was all the more important for this reason."

What You’ll Do

  • Think creatively about how to solve complex and strategically significant business problems.
  • Be both strategic and hands-on: build the plan, collaborate with cross-functional teams to execute it, and own the results.
  • Source and close partnerships with insurance carriers to grow the supply side of the marketplace.
  • Develop tailored pitches and solutions - especially for partners who may not see the value of working with us at first glance.
  • Represent Jerry in external meetings with professionalism, clarity, and insight.

What We’re Looking For

  • 7+ years of experience in business development, partnerships, strategy, or similar roles - ideally in a high-growth, startup environment or in consulting.
  • Proven history of driving and closing complex, high-value deals.
  • Exceptional drive and intellectual curiosity. You're a self-starter, obsessed with impact and focused on outcomes.
  • World-class communication and influencing skills, able to navigate senior executive conversations with ease and precision.
  • An inherently creative and entrepreneurial spirit, consistently finding breakthrough solutions.
  • Unwavering sense of ownership and urgency, thrives in ambiguity.

While we appreciate your interest and application, only applicants under consideration will be contacted.
