Why you should join us:
Jerry.ai is a Series C, YC-backed tech startup with 5M+ customers and $240M in funding. We're building the first AI-powered advisor to manage all your physical assets. We started with car insurance in 2019, now we're expanding into new verticals (e.g. home, motorcycle, RV, boat) and accelerating our growth.
We're growing fast, which means our HR operations are getting more complex by the month, more states, more employees, more edge cases. Right now that complexity mostly lands on two people. We need someone who thrives doing the hands on work: real compliance problems to solve, policies to write, escalations that need judgment instead of a script. You'll also have room to bring AI into how we run HR ops to help cut the busywork so you can spend more time on the parts that matter.
The opportunity:
This isn't a role where you're processing paperwork and waiting for direction. You'll own the parts of HR operations that actually require judgment: multi-state compliance, policy drafting, and the payroll and benefits questions that come up when the answer isn't in a handbook. You've done this kind of work before, in-house, hands-on, and you're ready to be the person others come to when something's more complicated than usual.
You'll also have a real say in how AI fits into HR ops here, spending less time on the repetitive stuff and more time on the judgment calls that need a person.
What you'll own:
Multi-state compliance: tracking state-by-state law changes, drafting policy updates, and making sure they're actually implemented (not just written) across every employee classification and pay range
Our annual compliance audit and handbook refresh, yours to lead start to finish, in your first 90 days
Escalated payroll, benefits, and leave questions that need a more experienced hand
Reviewing and unblocking the work of our Payroll and HR Administration team members
Rearchitecting our HR ops processes with an AI-native mindset, not just using AI tools, but rethinking how the function should work
Growing into ownership of day-to-day HR operations management over time
Who you are:
Bachelor’s degree in any discipline
At least 2 years of real, hands-on HR generalist experience. You've personally drafted the policy, entered the payroll, handled the compliance filing, not just reviewed someone else's work
Genuine in-house, multi-state compliance experience
Comfortable in a small, high-intensity team where you touch payroll, benefits, and compliance yourself
Excited (not resistant) to build with AI.
Where you’ll work:
We are headquartered in Palo Alto and ideally would have someone able to come into the office multiple times a week, but we’re still open to remote candidates for the right fit.
While we appreciate your interest and application, due to the volume of applications we receive, only applicants under consideration will be contacted.
Please note: Jerry.ai is only able to hire full-time salaried employees who currently reside in AZ, CA, CO, FL, GA, IL, MA, NC, NJ, NV, NY, OR, TN, TX, UT, VA, or Ontario, Canada, and full-time hourly employees who currently reside in AZ, FL, GA, NV, NY, NC, TN, TX, UT, or VA. Unfortunately, we cannot accept applications from candidates residing elsewhere at this time.

The successful candidate’s starting pay will fall within the pay range listed on this job posting, determined based on job-related factors including, but not limited to, skills, experience, qualifications, work location, and market conditions.

We offer a comprehensive benefits package to regular employees, including health, dental, and vision coverage, paid time off, paid parental leave, 401(K) plan with employer matching, and wellness benefits, among others. Equity opportunities may also be part of your total rewards package. Part-time, contract, or freelance roles may not be eligible for certain benefits.
About Jerry.ai
Jerry is building the first AI-powered advisor to manage all your physical assets.
Your car, home, and motorcycle aren't just purchases, they're the physical embodiment of the life you've worked hard to build. Yet the experience of owning them is stuck in the 90s. Every step of the journey — buying, insuring, maintaining, repairing, selling — is fragmented, complicated, and expensive.
Imagine having a trusted friend in your pocket who takes care of everything: they find you the right car or home at the right price, lock in the best insurance rate without you lifting a finger, remind you before that service appointment turns into an expensive repair, and help you sell at the best price when the time is right. That friend is Jerry.
We started with car insurance in 2019, became one of the top 3 brokers in the U.S., then added driving insights, diagnostics, and a repair marketplace. We've reached 5M+ customers, raised $240M+, and achieved profitability in 2024. We're now expanding into home, motorcycle, RV, and beyond.
Led by serial entrepreneurs and backed by Y Combinator, our team comprises talented and big-hearted leaders from places like Nvidia, Meta, Amazon, BCG, McKinsey, Bain, and GEICO. Our culture is the #1 reason people join Jerry and stay — we are a small and mighty team of competitive but kind people who think and act like owners, care deeply about the quality and impact of our work, and are relentless in our pursuit of learning and mastery over our craft.
We are proud to consistently rank as one of Y Combinator's Top Companies, Forbes and Statista's Best Startup Employers, and to have received other accolades in fintech and insurtech innovation, workplace culture, and leadership.
We support remote work for most roles, but if you prefer in-person or hybrid, we also have offices in Palo Alto, New York City, Chicago, and Toronto.
Compensation Range: $80K - $100K

Tips for Your Remote Human Resources Operations Associate Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote human resources operations associate openings from across the U.S. in one place. Search roles that match your HRIS experience and apply directly as soon as new openings appear, since remote positions often close faster than on-site ones.
Demonstrate async communication skills upfront
Remote HR operations teams depend on clear written communication for things like onboarding documentation, policy updates, and employee inquiries. Craft your cover letter and application emails to show you can communicate with precision and clarity without real-time back-and-forth.
Showcase HRIS platform proficiency concretely
Remote employers screening for human resources operations associates want to see named platforms, such as Workday, ADP, or Rippling, and specific tasks you completed in them. List the systems you have worked in and the processes you managed rather than describing HR duties in general terms.
Prepare for remote interview formats
Remote human resources operations associate interviews often run entirely over video and may include async screening questions you answer on your own time. Practice delivering clear, structured answers without prompting and test your audio, lighting, and camera before any scheduled interview.
Remote Human Resources Operations Associate Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote human resources operations associate job?
Target remote-first companies and distributed teams that rely on HR operations support without a central office, since these employers are most likely to hire this role remotely from the start. Remote employers screen heavily for written communication, self-direction, and comfort with HRIS platforms like Workday or BambooHR. Candidates who highlight async collaboration experience and independent problem-solving move to the top of the shortlist.
Which companies hire remote human resources operations associates?
Companies hiring remote human resources operations associates right now include Saint-Gobain, Turnitin, and Fivetran, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote-first firms, SaaS companies with distributed workforces, and large healthcare or financial services organizations with decentralized HR teams are the most consistent sources of fully remote openings in this role.
Can you get a remote human resources operations associate job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level roles are harder to land because employers expect you to onboard and operate independently from day one without in-person guidance. SaaS startups and smaller remote-first companies are more open to junior candidates. Showing proficiency with HRIS tools, completing an HR certificate program, or demonstrating strong written communication skills can substitute for direct experience and open those doors.
Do you need a degree for remote human resources operations associate jobs?
Not always. Remote employers in this role frequently weigh hands-on HRIS experience, HR certifications like PHR or SHRM-CP, and demonstrated results in onboarding, benefits administration, or compliance work alongside or instead of a formal degree. Candidates who can show concrete outcomes, such as reducing onboarding time or improving data accuracy in an HRIS, often compete effectively without a four-year degree.
