Associate Art Director (Video)

📋 Description

• • Join a pre-IPO startup with capital, traction, and runway ($240M funded | 40X revenue growth in 4 years | $2T market size).
• • Work closely with brilliant leaders and teammates from companies like McKinsey, BCG, Nvidia, Better, SoFi, etc.
• • Disrupt a massive market and help scale us to a $5B business in the next few years.
• • Be immersed in a talent-dense environment and accelerate your career growth exponentially.
• • Bring sharp visual craft and creative energy to Jerry's video output — from concept through final cut.
• • About the Role
• • At Jerry, we are redefining and radically improving how people manage car ownership, one of their most expensive and time-consuming assets.
• • Backed by artificial intelligence and machine learning, Jerry simplifies and automates car ownership while providing personalized services tailored to 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 — and we're just getting started.
• • Why you will (or won't) like working here:
• • Large canvas: You won't inherit a set-in-stone playbook. You'll have real creative input and contribute meaningfully to our brand foundation early in your career.
• • Hands-on from day one: This isn't a support role. You'll be concepting, editing, and iterating — using AI tools and your own creative instincts to ship work that performs.
• • Car ownership is not 'sexy': Insurance, maintenance, and safety are only topics people think about when they have a bill to pay or a flat tire to change. Can you build enthusiasm and trust around a 'dry' topic? That's the creative challenge here.
• • What You'll Do
• • Concept and produce video creative across paid social, CTV, and emerging channels — working end-to-end from brief to delivery under the guidance of senior creative leads.
• • Bring a sharp visual eye to every asset: elevating composition, pacing, and storytelling to raise Jerry's brand while keeping performance top of mind.
• • Stay on top of platform trends, formats, and cultural shifts to ensure Jerry's creative stays fresh and effective.
• • Develop hooks, angles, and visual frameworks rooted in what drives real performance — not just what looks good.
• • Edit video directly: fluent in editing tools and comfortable cutting, iterating, and polishing ads at speed.
• • Leverage AI tools (for ideation, scripting, editing, asset generation, etc.) to accelerate workflows and expand creative range.
• • Collaborate closely with media, growth, and senior creative teammates to turn performance signals into stronger creative work.
• • What We're Looking For
• • 4+ years in video creative, art direction, or production — at a performance agency, in-house growth team, or content studio.
• • A growing track record contributing to video creative for paid channels (Meta, TikTok, YouTube, CTV, etc.).
• • Strong visual instincts — you have an eye for design, composition, pacing, and brand quality.
• • Video editing fluency — you can cut and iterate ads yourself, making them feel polished without heavy direction.
• • Performance creative curiosity — you understand (or are actively learning) what makes people stop scrolling: hooks, pacing, CTAs.
• • Collaborative and eager mindset — comfortable in fast-paced environments and open to feedback from creative and analytics teams alike.
• • AI fluency — you experiment with generative tools to speed up production and expand what's creatively possible.
• • Bonus: exposure to both performance and brand creative contexts. You're building a point of view on how craft and conversion can coexist.
• • Why This Role Matters
• • Jerry's creative team has proven performance chops — and we're ready to level up. This role is an opportunity to grow fast inside a creative engine that blends craft, data, AI, and media strategy.
• • You'll be hands-on from day one, contributing real work that reaches millions of people — and building the skills and portfolio to grow into a senior creative leader.
