Vori
About Vori
Vori is a modern retail technology company rethinking how grocery stores operate in the modern age. Our all‑in‑one operating system powers everything from point of sale to shopper loyalty, intelligent pricing, and AI‑driven inventory. Backed by top investors and growing rapidly, we are building the future of retail infrastructure for the $1T grocery industry.
Our Mission
At the heart of our mission is serving independent grocers. Often immigrant‑owned, generational businesses, these food entrepreneurs combat food deserts and waste. We arm them with the tools to thrive in a competitive landscape featuring much larger players (e.g. Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s), allowing them to nourish their communities.
The Team
Design is at the core of Vori’s DNA — you’ll join a collaborative, mission‑driven group of foodies who care deeply about crafting beautiful and intuitive experiences that make a meaningful impact on our customers and the world.
About This Role
We’re looking for a creative, entrepreneurial Product Design Lead to help our core product team reimagine how grocery stores operate. You’ll deeply understand the biggest pain points of owners, managers, and staff to craft workflows that are powerful and accessible. As part of the growing design team, you’ll make high impact on our design, product, and company strategy while we scale our hardware and software system into grocery stores across the country.
This role is based in San Francisco with a hybrid office culture (1‑2 days per week). As part of UX field research, each quarter there may be travel to our customer sites across the country. This role reports to the Head of Design.
What You’ll Do
Own design for our core platform, including intelligent pricing, multi‑location workflows, reporting, e‑commerce, and more.
Design innovative, delightful experiences for grocery store owners, staff, and their loyal shoppers.
Shape our product strategy by collaborating closely with product and engineering leads to identify high‑leverage opportunities and bring them to life.
Design for bits and atoms, sweat the details, and connect the dots between workflows that span the physical and digital world to make complex tasks feel simple.
Thrive in 0→1 by helping the team break down ambiguous problems, using design to inspire and generate clarity when bringing new concepts to life.
Talk to customers constantly. Lead user research to build a deep understanding of their needs, amplifying their voices throughout the team to drive empathy and alignment.
Foster a strong design culture with design leadership and the executive team around best practices, lead by example on craft for our current stage of growth, and continually evolve our design system.
What We’re Looking For
6+ years designing applications across a variety of B2B industries.
Experience leading UX research initiatives within product teams.
Ability to lead with independence while collaborating across departments.
Quickly design at multiple fidelities, from scrappy napkin sketches to production‑ready work without sweating the details.
Passionate about prototyping or building with AI tools.
Experience in a startup environment or having built 0‑1 products.
Nice to Haves
Experience or interest in physical hardware and design.
Previous experience designing for retail, supply chain, or logistics‑related industries.
Foodies with an opinion.
Benefits
A competitive salary.
Healthcare, vision, and dental insurance.
Unlimited PTO with a minimum of 21 days off and 14 office closures per year.
Generous parental leave.
Why Vori
Mission‑driven team building tech that helps local businesses thrive and keeps communities fed.
Backed by top investors and advisors from Stripe, Uber, Palantir, and Toast.
Real revenue, real growth, and a massive $1T market opportunity.
A chance to shape not just design— but the company’s future.
