About the Opportunity

At Jerry.ai, we are redefining and radically improving how people manage owning a car, one of their most expensive and time‑consuming assets. Backed by artificial intelligence and machine learning, Jerry.ai simplifies and automates owning and maintaining a car while providing personalized services for all car owners' needs. We are the #1 rated and most downloaded app in our category with a 4.7 star rating in the App Store and more than 5 million customers.

With significant progress across various aspects of our product, we are prioritizing customer acquisition and profitable growth as our top objectives for the coming years. Our growth team (product & marketing) is directly responsible for Jerry.ai’s most critical initiative – achieving high double‑digit growth – by driving customer acquisition through strategic and innovative approaches.

We are hiring an Associate Director, Growth Marketing – Innovative Channels to identify, launch, and scale new customer acquisition channels. This is a high‑impact, high‑autonomy role for someone who loves building: exploring uncharted channels – from insurance affiliates and direct mail to emerging platforms like AppLovin and Reddit – and turning early signals into scalable growth engines.

How You Will Make Impact

  • Own end‑to‑end channel expansion: research, prioritize, launch, and iterate across a diverse mix of paid and partnership‑based channels (e.g., affiliates, direct mail, social platforms, emerging ad networks)
  • Shape the innovative channel roadmap – identifying the highest‑potential opportunities and making the strategic case for where Jerry should invest next
  • Apply strong marketing fundamentals – audience targeting, bidding strategies, creative development, and landing page optimization – across varied and novel channel contexts
  • Pioneer the adoption of AI agents in marketing operations: identify where AI can accelerate testing, automate workflows, and unlock capabilities that weren't previously possible
  • Design and execute rigorous experiments: form hypotheses, define success metrics, run tests, interpret results, and scale what works
  • Analyze performance across full‑funnel metrics (CAC, LTV, ROAS, incrementality), identify trends, and translate data into clear strategic recommendations that influence resource allocation and company priorities
  • Partner closely with product, data, and creative teams to build the infrastructure and assets that make new channels succeed

Who You Are

  • 4+ years of experience in performance or growth marketing, with meaningful exposure across multiple channels (paid social, affiliates, direct mail, emerging platforms, or similar)
  • Consulting background (ideally MBB or equivalent) preferred, with demonstrated ability to structure complex problems, prioritize ruthlessly, and communicate clearly to senior stakeholders
  • Strong foundational understanding of core marketing levers – bidding, targeting, creative, and landing page optimization – and the ability to apply them across diverse and unfamiliar contexts
  • Strong quantitative analytical ability working with full‑funnel metrics (CAC, LTV, ROAS, incrementality) and a knack for storytelling through data
  • Genuine creative acumen – you have a point of view on what makes compelling creative and can partner effectively with designers and copywriters to bring ideas to life
  • Excited about – and ideally experienced with – applying AI tools and agents to accelerate marketing work, not just as a productivity hack but as a strategic capability
  • Curiosity and resourcefulness: energized by channels and problems you haven't fully solved before, and know how to get up to speed fast
  • Thrives in ambiguous, fast‑paced environments with an ownership mentality – you are not satisfied with "good enough"
