The company serves independent and regional grocers with tools that help them run more efficient, data-driven businesses.\nWhy this role exists\nVori needs a finance executive who can own both sides of the finance mandate:\nExternal finance leadership - fundraising, debt financing, investor strategy, board narrative, and capital structure.\n\nInternal finance infrastructure - FP&A, cash planning, accounting foundation, reporting cadence, controls, and operating discipline.\n\nThis 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.\nMission\nThe VP, Finance will help Vori make better strategic decisions, raise and allocate capital effectively, and build a finance function that gives the company reliable visibility into performance, runway, and tradeoffs.\nThe right person will be a trusted partner to the CEO and leadership team, a credible voice with investors and the board, and a builder who can turn messy operating reality into clear financial strategy.\nWho you are\nYou are a hands-on startup VP or CFO-caliber finance leader who has operated in high-growth, venture-backed environments. You have enough strategic finance depth to lead capital markets work and enough operating finance discipline to build the function yourself before the team is large.\nYou are likely to be a strong fit if you are a:\nBuilder: 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.\n\nCapital 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.\n\nFP&A Master: exceptional modeling and quantitative rigor; your math ties out and you can defend every claim line by line\n\nStrategic counterweight to founders: you push back with conviction, allocate capital intelligently, and think in multi-year arcs while driving near-term velocity\n\nHigh-IQ, high-EQ, high intensity: you process complexity quickly and move fast with sound judgment\n\nHigh Slope: Low ego, high curiosity which is core to our culture. Practical, high-ownership, customer-aware, and exceptionally clear.\n\nBonus: Complex hardware experience. You understand the economics of a hardware-enabled business - installs, logistics, support burden.\n\nBonus: Investment banking or VC experience. You've been a steward of capital: building models that win investors, evaluating allocations, and credibly communicating the books to capital partners.\n\nWhat you’ll own\nOwn the operating model end to end. Forecast what is likely to happen, and quickly understand when reality diverges from that forecast. Build the drivers, scenario logic, and planning cadence. Be able to tear down and rebuild the model quickly.\n\nKnow what is happening in the business - fast, and with high confidence. Command unit economics, contribution margin, and payments economics across a complex business (grocery + hardware + AI + payments), with enough accounting fluency to trust the actuals.\n\nCo-lead the raise. Ensure Vori is an elite steward of others' capital. Design the forward narrative, metrics, and capital structure for the Series C and beyond to IPO. Own the board financial package and represent the company credibly to the board, investors, and capital partners (both equity and debt).\n\nOwn the financial foundation. Treat our financial infra as a product that you own. Build systems that drive clarity, velocity, and effiency.\n\nBuild like an operator. Work with Sales on strategy and help close enterprise deals; work with Product on the roadmap and ship internal tools as needed using AI. Run a smart, automated finance stack so we require less headcount while maintaining rigorous operations.\n\nRaise the company's operating level. Bring bursts of clarity that a sales leader, an engineer, and a board member can all act on - and give the candid feedback that levels the whole team up.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4478,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["POS Systems","Retail & Shop Systems"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-12T02:56:35Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 1","filings_12m":1,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":232500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":7,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.242,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":129,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:3","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-01T06:10:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/vori-vp-finance","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/vori-vp-finance.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-01T06:42:17Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":10332,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-02T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":688129},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=688129"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fvori-vp-finance"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fvori-vp-finance"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fvori-vp-finance"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/vori-vp-finance\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fvori-vp-finance"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":789535}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"vori.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":789535},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
