Strategic Finance

ABOUT LATENT

Latent is the enterprise pharmacy intelligence platform. Our clinical AI streamlines prior authorizations, appeals, and 340B compliance, so patients start therapy faster and care teams spend less time on paperwork.

We raised an $80M Series A led by Spark Capital and Transformation Capital, with General Catalyst, McKesson Ventures, Conviction, and Y Combinator. 60+ health systems run on Latent, including Yale New Haven, Mount Sinai, UCSF, and Ochsner. We move fast, operate with high ownership, and build products that directly improve patient care.

THE ROLE

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.

• 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

• 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
