We’re a rapidly growing fintech + vertical AI startup backed by top investors, providing cutting-edge point of sale (POS), payment processing, and inventory management solutions that empower retailers to thrive in a world dominated by retail giants like Walmart and Amazon.

You’ll partner directly with independent grocery operators and local market leaders to show them how Vori’s AI-driven platform can modernize their operations, improve margins, and future-proof their business. This is an exciting opportunity to join a fast-paced, high-impact sales team where every deal you close directly helps a small business compete and thrive. ## What You’ll Do - Prospect and open new business: Pull doors, make cold calls, and conduct in-person meetings with grocery owners, managers, and operators in your assigned territory. - Run the full sales cycle: From lead generation to demo, proposal, negotiation, and close — you’ll own your pipeline end-to-end. - Build and manage territory plans: Use HubSpot CRM to track activity, forecast results, and report on KPIs. - Collaborate with cross-functional teams: Work closely with Product, Marketing, and Customer Success to ensure smooth onboarding and long-term success. - Be a market expert: Understand local grocery dynamics, competition, and trends to help shape Vori’s go-to-market strategy. - Represent the brand: Be the trusted local face of Vori, embodying our mission to empower community grocers through technology. ## What You Bring - Experience in field sales or business development, ideally selling technology, POS systems, payments, or services to grocery or retail businesses. - A strong track record of meeting or exceeding quota in a full-cycle sales environment. - Proven ability to cold call, generate leads, and close deals with limited supervision. - Entrepreneurial mindset — self-starter who thrives in fast-paced, ambiguous, startup environments. - Exceptional communication, relationship-building, and presentation skills. - Tech-savvy and organized, with proficiency in CRM tools like HubSpot (preferred). - Background in or passion for the grocery industry is a major plus (experience as a cashier, buyer, store director, IT lead, or vendor is highly valued). - Minimal travel required; majority of activity will be within your local territory. Bonus Points For - Experience selling in a high-growth startup environment. - Prior exposure to AI-driven SaaS or fintech platforms. - Familiarity with independent grocery or CPG ecosystems. ## Why Join Vori - Be part of a mission-driven startup tackling one of the most essential and under-served industries in America. - Equity ownership – participate in the upside as we grow. - Collaborative, fast-paced culture that rewards curiosity, initiative, and results. - Opportunity to build your territory from the ground up and shape the future of Vori’s go-to-market motion.
