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 People spend thousands of dollars every month for an experience that is outdated, inconvenient, analog, impersonal, and leaves a lot to be desired.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.

We are only successful because of our customers, and we are seeking an exceptional leader who will double down on customer centricity, use data to make informed decisions, and be both strategic and human in their management of the Support functions.

The position will report into the VP of Operations and you will partner closely with Operations Leadership to develop and execute our customer support strategy and to ensure continuous improvement of the customer experience and operational excellence.
