A rapidly growing vertical SaaS/Fintech startup for neighborhood supermarkets, Vori is looking to hire an exceptional Founding Operations Lead to help support our customers as we scale. Vori is an operating system that empowers small grocery businesses, and integrates a cutting-edge POS and inventory management system to help these local businesses thrive against large chains like Walmart and Kroger. Also we'll help reduce food waste and food insecurity along the way.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and execute a comprehensive demand generation strategy to achieve aggressive growth targets: booked demos and revenue

• Build the marketing team, manage the team as it scales, and hire contractors and agencies as needed to hit goals. At first, you’ll be a growth marketing team of one, but you’ll be able to hire once we hit growth milestones and define the next roles.

• Collaborate closely with sales, product, and customer success teams to align growth initiatives with overall business objectives

• Implement data-driven, multi-channel marketing campaigns across digital and traditional channels

• Create compelling content and messaging that resonates with our target audience of independent grocers

Qualifications:

• Experience marketing to SMB or enterprise customers in industries that are not hyper-online (e.g., retail, logistics)

• Can masterfully use AI to help craft the GTM motion of the future

• 10+ years of experience in B2B SaaS marketing, with a strong focus on demand generation and growth

• Proven track record of scaling revenue 10x or more in a startup environment

• Deep expertise in digital marketing, ABM, content marketing, and marketing analytics

• Strong analytical skills with the ability to use data to inform strategy and demonstrate ROI

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively collaborate with cross-functional teams and distill complexity into poetry

• Strategic thinker with the ability to execute tactically in a fast-paced environment

• Exceptional communication and presentation skills

Ideal Candidate Qualities:

• High Craft: Vori is a design-driven company, and we see taste as a core part of growth and demand generation

• Results-driven: Consistently delivers on aggressive growth targets

• Customer-obsessed: Deeply understands the needs and challenges of independent grocers

• Agile: Comfortable with ambiguity and able to pivot strategies as needed. Prior startup exposure (Series A - C) or ex-founder experience is preferred.

• Collaborative: Builds strong relationships across all departments, especially design, sales, and product

What We Offer:

• Opportunity to own a critical department and make a significant impact in a rapidly growing startup

• Competitive compensation package including equity

• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance

• 401(k) plan

• Flexible work arrangements

• Professional development opportunities

As an early-stage company, we are still building out our growth engine, you should be excited about the opportunity to get in on the ground floor. You’ll be hands on building and executing in tools, but you’ll also need to set goals and budgets, prioritize initiatives, and report on key metrics to the entire company.
