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.

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.

Tips for Your Remote Human Resources Specialist Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote human resources specialist openings from across the U.S. in one place. Search roles that match your experience level and specialization, then apply directly. Remote postings fill fast, so moving early on a strong match matters.
Highlight async communication skills explicitly
Remote HR work runs on written communication: policy documentation, virtual onboarding guides, and employee correspondence through chat and email. Call out specific examples of async HR work in your resume and cover letter, because remote hiring managers screen for it deliberately.
Show HRIS platform experience upfront
Remote HR teams run on platforms like Workday, BambooHR, Rippling, or ADP Workforce Now. Name the systems you've used and what you did in them. Employers hiring remotely need someone who can operate the stack independently, not learn it on the job.
Prepare for competency-based remote interviews
Remote HR roles are almost always interviewed over video, often in multiple rounds with hiring managers, team leads, and sometimes an executive. Practice walking through specific HR situations you've handled: a compliance issue, a difficult employee conversation, or a remote onboarding you designed.
Remote Human Resources Specialist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote human resources specialist job?
Target companies that operate with distributed or fully remote teams, since those employers have built HR workflows that don't depend on in-person presence. Remote HR specialists are screened hard on written communication because so much of the role happens over email, chat, and documentation. Showing comfort with HRIS platforms, async onboarding, and virtual employee relations gives you a clear edge over candidates without that experience.
Which companies hire remote human resources specialists?
Companies hiring remote human resources specialists right now include New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Turnitin, and WesBanco Bank, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote-first technology firms, healthcare organizations with distributed clinical and administrative staff, and financial services companies managing multi-state teams consistently post remote human resources specialist openings.
Can you get a remote human resources specialist job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level HR roles are harder to land because employers expect you to work independently from day one without in-office mentorship. Companies that hire entry-level remote human resources specialists often look for candidates who've handled HR tasks in internships, staffing agencies, or volunteer roles. Strong written communication, familiarity with an HRIS tool, and a demonstrated ability to manage tasks without hand-holding can open the door.
Do you need a degree for remote human resources specialist jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers weigh HR certifications like PHR or SHRM-CP, hands-on experience managing employee relations or benefits administration, and demonstrated results just as heavily as a degree. For fully remote roles especially, employers prioritize what you can do independently, so a portfolio of real HR work, relevant coursework, or a recognized certification can substitute for a four-year degree.
Which industries hire the most remote human resources specialists?
Most remote human resources specialist openings sit in Technology & Software, Manufacturing, and Healthcare & Medical Services, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors rely on distributed teams and need HR specialists who can manage hiring, compliance, and employee support entirely through digital tools and remote workflows.
