Job Description

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. At Jerry.ai, we are building the first app to manage it all. Since launching in 2019, we’ve reached 5M+ customers, raised $240M+, scaled revenue 70X, and achieved profitability in 2024. Operating across the US and Canada brings a steady flow of regulatory, consumer protection, and product questions that need clear legal answers fast. As our Legal Researcher, you’ll work closely with our Legal Counsel and partner with teams across Jerry to research hard questions and turn your findings into decisions the business can act on. This role is built for high‑performing law graduates who want a rigorous in‑house legal career outside the law firm path. It’s highly hands‑on: you’ll draft and negotiate agreements with partners and vendors, research licensing and regulatory requirements, support product and compliance reviews, and help solve new legal questions as the business grows. If you succeed, Jerry’s leaders make faster, better‑informed decisions on legal risk, and you’ll have owned work that shapes how the company grows.
