Sauce is a premier restaurant technology platform that helps businesses grow with our Commission-Free Delivery & Pickup structure and proprietary delivery optimization technology. We are serving a 105 billion dollar US local restaurant business. Headquartered in NYC and Tel-Aviv, Sauce wants restaurants to fulfill their highest potential, this means giving local establishments everything they need to connect directly with their customers. The Sauce team pools together decades of restaurant tech experience, along with seasoned tech, sales, marketing, product and operations executives who produce an industry-changing delivery system for successful local restaurants and chains.
We’re looking for a VP of Finance to lead our global finance function, drive operational excellence, and scale our financial infrastructure to support rapid growth. This role requires a hands-on leader who thrives in high-volume transaction environments, ideally in both B2B2C and B2B businesses — and is equally comfortable with big-picture strategy and detailed execution.
You will oversee all aspects of finance for our U.S., Israel and international operations, manage a growing distributed team, and partner closely with leadership.
This role reports directly to the CEO of Sauce! If based in or near NYC, a hybrid work-approach may be expected.
What You'll Do:
- Strategic Leadership

- Develop and execute financial strategies that align with company growth goals.
- Partner cross-functionally to improve decision-making with actionable financial insights. Working closely with leaders in all domains.
- Operational Excellence
- Oversee day-to-day finance operations, including accounting, FP&A, revenue operations, and compliance across multiple entities.
- Implement scalable systems and processes to support high-volume transactions and multi-currency operations.
- Ensure accurate and timely financial statements, cash flow management, and KPI tracking.
- Team Leadership
- Lead and develop a growing finance team, including Controller, Staff Accountant, FP&A and outsourced specialists in Israel.
- Foster a high-performance, approachable, and collaborative culture.
- Compliance & Controls
- Maintain compliance with U.S. GAAP, local regulations in Israel, and taxation requirements.
- Ensure strong internal controls and risk management practices.
- Growth Readiness
- Prepare financial infrastructure for future fundraising rounds.
- Support CEO and leadership with financial modeling, scenario planning, and board reporting.
What You Bring:
- 5+ years of progressive finance leadership experience (Director, Sr. Manager and above), including managing high-volume transaction environments.
- Experience in B2B2C and B2B model, food delivery, marketplaces, or SaaS strongly preferred.
- Proven track record scaling finance functions in a fast-growth, global startup (Series B+ or later).
- Strong technical knowledge of accounting, FP&A, multinational and multi-entity operations.
- Hands-on leadership style — willing to dive into the details while guiding high-level strategy.
- Excellent communication skills and ability to work effectively with a distributed, multicultural team. Working under pressure, priority changes and getting stuff done on time mentality. Operate at the lowest level of details. Own every data point.
- CPA or equivalent qualification strongly preferred.
- FP&A background.
- SQL experience is a nice to have.
- Willingness to travel periodically between NY and Israel.
What We Offer:
- Strong & Competitive Compensation Package, Including Equity
- Company-Sponsored Insurance Package (Health, Dental, Vision, Mental Health)
