About the role

Original posting from Nory via Ashby

Let’s fix hospitality, for good.

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 https://www.nory.ai/blog/nory-series-b-funding-to-revolutionise-restaurant-operations, we’ve grown to 100+ people across Ireland, the UK, Spain and New York – and demand is scaling faster than we ever imagined.

THE ROLE:

We’re now looking for an FP&A Lead to join our growing Finance and Operations team. In this role, you’ll have the unique opportunity to own and build Nory’s FP&A function end-to-end, turning our plans and numbers into the decisions that power our next stage of growth.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:

  • Own the planning cycle: Lead the annual budget, reforecasts and long-range plan, from building the model through to sign-off with the exec team and board.
  • Run performance reporting: Deliver clear, timely monthly management reporting and board packs, with commentary that explains what happened, why, and what we should do next.
  • Partner with the business: Work with leaders across Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, People, Product and Engineering to set targets, track KPIs and make smart trade-offs on headcount and spend.
  • Own the metrics that matter: Be the source of truth for our core SaaS metrics (ARR, net revenue retention, CAC payback, burn and runway) so everyone trusts the numbers.
  • Support the big decisions: Build the models and analysis behind fundraising, pricing, new-market expansion and other strategic bets.
  • Scale the function: Improve our tools, data and processes so FP&A keeps pace as Nory grows, and help shape the team over time.

You’ll report to a finance leader with a deep FP&A background who’ll be a sounding board and strong support, but this is your function to drive.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING:

  • FP&A depth: 6+ years in FP&A or strategic finance, ideally including time in a high-growth SaaS or tech business. A professional accounting qualification is not required but you do need to know accounting principles and be able to create solid three-statement forecasts.
  • End-to-end ownership: You’ve run budgeting, forecasting and reporting cycles yourself, not just contributed to them.
  • Strong modelling skills: You build driver-based and three-statement models that are robust, flexible and easy for others to follow. Excel / Google sheets are a must, SQL and other tools are desirable.
  • Commercial judgement: You go beyond the numbers, form a clear point of view and influence senior stakeholders.
  • Clear communication: You explain complex financials simply, whether you’re talking to a team lead or the board.
  • Startup mindset: You thrive in fast-paced environments, move quickly and are comfortable with ambiguity. You’d rather ship a good-enough forecast today than a perfect one next month.
  • Drive to build: You’ve created and improved scalable finance processes and tools, and you think long-term about how the function should grow. .

If you’re excited by what we’re building, we’d love to hear from you, even if you don’t tick every box!

WHAT YOU’LL GET IN RETURN:

💰 Competitive salary depending on experience

📈 Meaningful equity, at Nory everyone is an owner!

🌴 35 days of paid leave per year (including bank holidays)

🏥 Comprehensive private health insurance via Irish Life (Ireland) and Axa (UK)

HOW WE WORK:

Our vision is to build a better future for the restaurant industry.

One where operators are in control, margins are stronger, and frontline teams can build careers they’re proud of. To get there, we move fast, stay focused, and hold ourselves to a high bar. Our values guide how we work, grow, and win – together.

These are the values we live by:

We serve up impact with a side of profit: We prioritise work that delivers real financial results for our restaurant partners.

We prioritise speed of service: We move fast, unblock quickly, and deliver with urgency.

We win as a crew: We grow stronger through feedback, collaboration, and shared wins.

WE HIRE HUMANS:

At Nory, we believe that diverse teams build better products. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds, identities, and walks of life. We do not discriminate based on gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, family status, age, disability, or race. What matters to us is how you think, how you work, and what you bring to the table. Please let us know if you require any adjustments so you can bring your best self to the interview process.
