Renting a home is the world's oldest subscription service. People spend thousands of dollars every month for an experience that is outdated, inconvenient, analog, impersonal, and leaves a lot to be desired. Latch is working to make every building better, and while we've methodically executed this mission since our founding with great success, we're just getting started.

Leveraging our knowledge from companies like Apple, BCG, and IDEO, we’ve rethought how people interact with space. Latch delivers a full-building operating system designed to help owners, residents, and third parties like guests, couriers, and service providers, seamlessly experience the modern building. We’ve done this by combining software, devices, and services into a holistic platform that makes spaces more efficient, enjoyable, and profitable.

The next chapter of the Latch story will be our most exciting yet, and we’re looking for more talented team members to help fuel our growth.

  • Interpret the Product Roadmap with a financial lens and ensure a strong financial plan exists to support the Product Roadmap
  • Analyze the SaaS tools stack and continually drive efficiencies where possible

  • Ability to project plan and be able to think comprehensively about a project to ensure production of a complete plan
  • Experience in our enterprise tech stack is a plus: Workday Adaptive Planning, NetSuite, Looker

Founded in 2014, Latch now has 400+ team members working to make spaces better places to live, work, and visit. 

We offer unlimited Paid Time Off, a comprehensive benefits package, mental health support, and an environment where employees are surrounded by creative, empowered, and dynamic peers.
