VP Finance

Hospitality is tough – margins are thin, waste is high, and teams are stretched. But it doesn’t have to be this hard. That’s why we built Nory.

Our CEO, Conor, knows the pain first-hand. After founding and scaling Mad Egg in Ireland, he got fed up with juggling “market-leading” systems, clunky spreadsheets, and endless printouts. So he set out to build the tool he wished he’d had from day one.

Nory is an all-knowing restaurant management system. It blends real-time data with AI predictive analytics, giving operators control of their margins. From food prep to forecasting, it’s operational intelligence that helps restaurants run with consistency, certainty, and profit. The result? Thriving restaurants, better jobs, less waste, healthier margins.

And we’re just getting started. Fresh off a Series B led by Kinnevik, we’ve grown to 70+ people across Ireland, the UK, and Spain – and demand is scaling faster than we ever imagined.

We’re now looking for our first VP of Finance to join the Operations Team and help power our next chapter of growth - from international expansion to preparing for Series B. You’ll work directly with our CEO to move finance in-house, level up visibility, and bring the tools and clarity needed to scale with confidence. It’s a hands-on role that balances day-to-day financial operations with high-impact strategic projects.

Please note, this role was recently levelled up from a Head of Finance role, and it can be based in Ireland or the UK.

• Own strategic finance and partner cross-functionally: Own monthly forecasting, financial reporting, board reporting and decision-making alongside SLT leads.

• Own core finance operations: Lead AP, AR, payroll (ROI & UK), cashflow, internal reporting, and tax (with advisors).

• Build financial discipline: Link budgets and spend to clear ROI; implement budget vs actuals tracking and performance reviews.

• Scale systems and processes: Design scalable workflows and implement the right tech stack (e.g. Xero, Pleo, forecasting tools).

• Improve financial visibility: Deliver timely, accurate, and actionable reporting for the CEO, SLT, and investors.

• Strengthen compliance & controls: Proactively manage planning, tax, and compliance; audit existing vendor/tax setups.

• Growth-stage finance experience: 10+ years in fast-paced, strategic finance roles (ideally in B2B SaaS or tech scale-ups). You’ve built teams that own FP&A, budgeting, cashflow, internal controls, and investor reporting end-to-end and have experience scaling finance functions during a Series B–D stage.

• FinanceOps Expertise: You’ve run AP/AR, payroll, and worked closely with tax advisors. You’re experienced with tools like Xero, Pleo, and know how to build or improve finance systems for scale.

• Analytical and structured: Strong Excel/Sheets skills, comfortable with BI tools, and obsessive about accuracy and clarity. You bring structure, meet deadlines, and drive better decisions through data.

• Strategic yet hands-on: You think big-picture but aren’t afraid to get into the weeds, especially in the early months. You can move from board-level forecasting to fixing a broken invoice flow in a heartbeat.

• Bias for action: You move fast, iterate, and prioritise progress over perfection — without sacrificing quality.

Nice-to-haves:

• A formal accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA)
