About Latent

Latent is building the clinical agentic engine for enterprise pharmacy—software that enables leading health systems to serve more patients, grow their pharmacy operations, and capture more value compliantly, without adding headcount. We are a fast-moving team looking for thoughtful, ambitious people who want to help build both the business and the systems behind it.

The Opportunity

Latent is hiring a Strategic Finance to support financial planning, business analysis, and day-to- day finance operations. You will work closely with company leadership and teams across the organization, helping us understand performance, allocate resources, manage spending, and build scalable financial processes.

This is a broad, hands-on role for someone who enjoys moving between strategic analysis and operational execution. On any given day, you might update the company’s financial model, prepare a budget review, analyze a business decision, negotiate with a vendor, or resolve an invoice.

What You’ll Do

Financial planning and modeling

Build and maintain financial models covering revenue, expenses, headcount, cash flow, and runway

Develop forecasts and scenario analyses to support company planning and strategic decisions

Analyze business performance and explain key trends, risks, and opportunities

Evaluate investments, hiring plans, pricing decisions, partnerships, and other strategic initiatives

Prepare financial materials for leadership, board meetings, and investors

Budgeting and reporting

Own or support the annual budgeting and ongoing forecasting processes

Partner with team leaders to establish budgets and monitor performance

Produce monthly budget-versus-actual reporting and investigate significant variances

Build dashboards and reporting that give leaders a clear view of financial and operating performance

Improve the quality, consistency, and accessibility of company financial data

Vendor and spend management

Manage vendor onboarding, renewals, purchasing workflows, and contract records

Help evaluate vendors, negotiate commercial terms, and identify savings opportunities

Maintain visibility into software subscriptions and other recurring commitments

Partner with budget owners to ensure purchases are appropriate, approved, and within budget

Develop scalable policies and processes for procurement and expense management

Invoicing and finance operations

Coordinate accounts payable and accounts receivable workflows

Review invoices for accuracy, proper approval, and correct coding

Track payment status and resolve discrepancies with vendors and internal stakeholders

Support customer invoicing and collections as needed

Maintain organized financial records and assist with month-end close

Coordinate with external accounting, tax, payroll, and other finance partners

Building the finance function

Identify manual or inefficient processes and develop better systems

Document financial policies, controls, and operating procedures

Help select and implement finance tools as the company grows

Take ownership of new financial and operational priorities as they arise

What We’re Looking For

2–5 years of experience in strategic finance, FP&A, investment banking, consulting, accounting, startup finance, or a related field

Strong financial modeling and analytical skills

Advanced proficiency with Excel or Google Sheets

Ability to turn complex financial information into clear recommendations

Excellent attention to detail and a high standard for accuracy

Strong organizational and project-management skills

Comfort managing both strategic projects and recurring operational work

Clear, thoughtful communication with colleagues, vendors, and external partners

A proactive, low-ego approach and willingness to take ownership

Comfort operating in a fast-changing environment with incomplete information

Nice to Have

Experience working at an early-stage or rapidly growing technology company

Familiarity with accounting, month-end close, and financial statements

Experience with financial planning, accounting, procurement, or spend-management systems

Experience supporting fundraising, investor reporting, or board preparation

Interest in healthcare, pharmacy operations, or health technology

What Success Looks Like

Within your first year, you will have:

Built a reliable financial model and forecasting cadence

Given company leaders clear visibility into budgets, spending, and runway

Improved the accuracy and efficiency of invoicing and payment workflows

Established a more disciplined vendor-management process

Delivered analysis that meaningfully influenced company decisions

Created finance systems that can scale with Latent’s growth

Why Join Latent

Work directly with company leadership on high-impact decisions

Gain exposure to nearly every part of the business

Help shape the finance function from an early stage

Take on meaningful ownership with room to grow

Join a talented, ambitious team working toward our company mission
