About the role

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. At Jerry, we are building the first app to manage it all and make car ownership simple, transparent, and affordable. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • A Reddit-First Writer: You are an active Reddit user with a deep library of work showing you can write for the platform. You understand post formatting, sub-culture nuances, and what makes a thread go viral versus what gets ignored
  • 3+ Years of Copywriting Experience: Proven track record writing short- and long-form copy, ideally within fintech, insurtech, automotive, or consumer tech
  • Translator of Complexity: You can take "boring," confusing, or frustrating topics (insurance policies, rate hikes, vehicle maintenance) and make them clear, useful, and compelling to read
  • Obsessed with Value: You write to inform and help first, knowing that transparent, high-value writing builds more long-term brand equity than pushy calls-to-action
  • Feedback-Resilient: You welcome raw feedback from both internal teams and public comments, using community reactions to refine and improve your writing style
  • While we appreciate your interest and application, due to the volume of applications we receive, only applicants under consideration will be contacted

Redditors can smell a corporate ad from a mile away and will downvote low-effort marketing into oblivion. But when someone breaks down how car insurance premiums are actually calculated, or writes a step-by-step guide on negotiating a used car purchase, r/personalfinance and r/whatcarshouldibuy pay attention.

We need a Reddit Copywriter/Comedian who lives and breathes textual storytelling. You won't be writing marketing copy—you’ll be writing high-value, educational, human text posts that turn complex financial and automotive topics into top-voted Reddit threads. You know how to capture sub-culture tone, write hooky titles, and turn technical jargon into clear, engageable prose.
