Creative Lead, Lifecycle & Organic Growth

Why we exist:

More than 80% of Americans own a car and see it as a fundamental necessity, yet the experience of owning one is stuck in the 90s. Every part of the user journey (shopping for a car, insurance, repairs, etc) is complicated, fragmented, and time-consuming, and the costs are staggering. In 2025, the cost of owning a car was more than 20% of the average household income, after tax. At Jerry.ai, we are building the first app to manage it all and make car ownership accessible to all.

Why we need you:

Since we launched our app in 2019, we’ve reached 5M customers, raised over $240M in funding, scaled our annual revenue more than 70X, and became profitable in early 2024 – just 7 years into our operating history, in spite of challenging macro conditions and in a hyper-competitive $2T U.S. market.

We did this with an exceptionally talented team of analytical thinkers who are brilliant at experimentation and growth optimization. But what we don’t have is someone who obsesses over every single word we put in front of our customers and how we make them feel.

Car ownership is a stressful and emotionally charged topic for most people, and right now, our messaging is very transactional (e.g. click here, shop with us). We need you to change that.

Your job will be to think about what our customers actually need (or want) to hear from us, and how to fundamentally change how we speak to and care for them. Whether you’re crafting email sequences, push notifications, navigating a subreddit thread, or shaping how we talk about a new feature launch, you will be the voice of Jerry. And you will help us earn our brand and cultivate an enduring community.

We spent the last 9 years building a product that people like, now we need to give them a reason to trust us and a reason to stay.

Why you will (or won’t) like working here:

• Blank canvas: You won’t inherit a tone of voice or brand playbook. You will build it in partnership with our CEO, including defining our personality and voice across all organic surfaces.

• Hands-on: This is a senior level role in scope and impact, but you will be an IC with no direct reports on day one. You will personally write the email campaigns, draft the in-app tooltips, and talk to drivers on Reddit.

• Car ownership is not “sexy”: Insurance, maintenance, and safety are only topics people think about when they have a bill to pay, a flat tire to change, or when they get into an accident. Anyone can market something inherently exciting, but can you build enthusiasm and trust around a “dry” topic?

What you’ll own:

We need someone who knows how to talk about a brand in ways that make people feel something and take notice.

• Phase 1: Your sole focus will be overhauling our existing customer communications, including our CRM, email, SMS, and in-app copy. You will take our messaging from functional and direct to value-additive and relationship-driven. You will work closely with our Product, Design, Growth, and Customer Insights team to understand how to build trust, engagement, and as a result, drive long-tail conversion.

• Phase 2: As our tone of voice begins to take shape and we see success with lifecycle campaigns, your scope may expand as you take on driving customer growth and building brand affinity through producing other creative organic content (e.g. social media, etc).

Who you are:

• A copywriting virtuoso: You know that every word matters. You can translate complex, dry, and even stressful topics (car insurance, loans, repairs) into copy that is engaging, human, and accessible.

• A T-Shaped marketer: Your deep expertise is in copywriting, audience development and product positioning. Horizontally, you have a great sense of the social media landscape and community dynamics (like Reddit).

• A first principles thinker: You avoid making assumptions. You know how to take qualitative data and user pain points and turn them into resonant, empathetic marketing copy.

• Comfortable with discomfort: You’ve weathered fast-growing startups before and can confidently push back on highly analytical, data-first teams to champion the unmeasurable value of a great brand experience.

Ideal experience:

• 5+ years of experience in creative marketing with a focus on organic growth and a copy lean.

• Proven track record with organic channels like email, SMS, and social.

• Experience working with consumer brands.

• A portfolio showcasing both your writing and creative craft.

• Bachelor's Degree.
