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.
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

• 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
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
Nice to Have
• Experience working at an early-stage or rapidly growing technology company
