Vori is a modern grocery POS system that connects checkout, pricing, ordering, loyalty and reporting in one platform. Built for independent grocers. Backed by Greylock, Y Combinator and South Park Commons.
About the role
This is not a ceremonial CFO role. It is a hands-on company-building role for someone who can operate at the executive level while still building the finance function from the ground up. We hire people with high agency and high urgency. We look for slope over y-intercept. We care less about where you trained and more about what you’ve built. At Vori, everyone is a builder who owns problems end to end and makes big decisions that shape real outcomes.
What they're looking for
- Builder: A proven builder who has created finance functions from scratch with your own hands, without a large team or mature systems. You also show adept, thoughtful, and creative use of AI in your financial craft
- Capital Markets Athlete: You have led or materially co-led fundraising with founders and executives. You command respect from capital partners and ensure Vori is an elite steward of other people’s money
- FP&A Master: exceptional modeling and quantitative rigor, your math ties out and you can defend every claim line by line
- Strategic counterweight to founders: you push back with conviction, allocate capital intelligently, and think in multi-year arcs while driving near-term velocity
- High-IQ, high-EQ, high intensity : you process complexity quickly and move fast with sound judgment
- High Slope: Low ego, high curiosity which is core to our culture. Practical, high-ownership, customer-aware, and exceptionally clear
