Overview

We're looking for someone as excited as we are about disrupting a dinosaur. At Jetty, we’re creating the iconic brand in Property & Casualty insurance* for modern consumers and need help doing it.

As VP of Finance and our first hire in this function, you will be responsible for all major components of the Company's Finance function. Cash is king, so you'll lead the charge in ensuring that we have a rock-solid understanding of how much of it we have, as well as how fast (and where) we're earning (and spending) it.

You're a builder by nature, have a burning desire to create something much larger than yourself and are willing to get your hands dirty and work tirelessly to do so.

*Property & Casualty insurance is that corner (well, a $500B corner) of the insurance industry focused on offerings like homeowners/renters insurance, auto insurance and liability insurance. #TheMoreYouKnow!

About Jetty

The insurance industry is in dire need of a rethink, having failed customers across every dimension that matters to the modern consumer: products that meet critical needs, experiences that are customer-centric, design-focused and technology-enabled, and general business practices that are transparent and fair. Jetty is changing that.

The DNA of the Company is rooted in cutting-edge technology and a belief in the transformative power of good design. Everything we do is conceived of through these two lenses.

Oh, and while you can be forgiven if the word 'insurance' doesn't initially evoke visions of sugarplums dancing in your head, we can't help but feel there's something exciting about the chance to create an iconic consumer brand and give a 21st-century facelift to a 500-year-old, 500-billion-dollar industry whose products pretty much everyone buys.

The Company was founded in 2015 and launched in April 2017. We're backed by top-tier VC investors in both Silicon Valley and New York City, are partnered with Munich Re (the world's largest reinsurance company), and are a growing team in downtown Manhattan.
