Job description

The role asks for someone who can run the financial model and planning cycle for a fast-growing consumer insurance business, then explain the results clearly to executives, the board and investors. A strong candidate brings solid driver-based modeling, comfort with unit economics like acquisition cost, payback and retention, and a few years split between banking or corporate development and strategic finance. Accuracy under deadline and the judgment to pick which analysis matters are central.

How it fits the AI era

AI tools can speed up the routine parts of this work, such as pulling data together, drafting variance notes, researching markets and automating repeated reporting steps. The posting expects hands‑on comfort with these tools. What stays human is deciding which question is worth answering, defending assumptions in front of leaders and investors, and taking responsibility for numbers that hold up under outside review.

How it builds AI experience

Jerry is an app that uses AI to shop car insurance and manage other parts of car ownership, so this role sits close to a business where AI drives the product and its economics. Someone here would see how AI‑led products are valued, including acquisition cost, retention and margin on new lines like home and motorcycle. To build experience before applying, try using AI tools to speed up a model build, check a forecast or draft a variance summary, and keep notes on where the output needed human correction.
