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

• 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

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

• 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

  • Real ownership and visibility

  • High-impact role on a small, fast-growing team
