Latent Defense
Recruiting Coordinator
About this role
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
At Latent, we believe exploring a career at a new company should feel like an experience -not just a process. People are at the center of everything we build, and our Talent team plays a critical role in shaping the company we become. We partner across every function, work closely with leaders and teams, and support candidates through some of their most important interactions with Latent.
Every person we hire can have an outsized impact on our future. That’s why every interaction throughout the recruiting process matters. We want candidates to walk away feeling welcomed, informed, and excited about Latent - regardless of the outcome.
As a Recruiting Coordinator at Latent, you’ll own the candidate experience from the moment someone is invited to interview. You’ll be the person who brings structure and care to a fast-moving recruiting process - coordinating with hiring leads and interviewers, communicating directly with candidates, managing complex schedules, and making sure every interview day runs seamlessly.
When plans change, you’ll know what to do next. You’ll anticipate what candidates and interviewers need, solve problems quickly, and make every interaction feel thoughtful and intentional. You won’t just execute our recruiting process - you’ll help make it better. We’re looking for someone who notices opportunities, brings new ideas, and is constantly thinking about how we can raise the bar. This role is in office four days a week.
What You’ll Do
Own the planning and execution of candidate interview days from start to finish
Coordinate complex interview schedules across candidates, hiring managers, and interview teams
Communicate proactively and thoughtfully with candidates throughout the process
Partner with hiring managers and interviewers to ensure everyone is aligned and prepared
Anticipate scheduling conflicts and logistical challenges and solve them quickly
Create a welcoming, organized, and high-touch experience for every candidate
Identify opportunities to improve our recruiting processes and turn those ideas into action
What We’re Looking For
We could give you a long checklist of qualifications, but what matters most is how you operate. You’re organized, thoughtful, resourceful, and exceptionally good at making complicated things feel simple. You care about the details because you understand that the details shape the experience.
Your current title might be Recruiting Coordinator, Staffing Associate, or something completely different. Maybe you’re the person your friends trust to organize the group trip, build the itinerary, make the reservations, and have a backup plan ready when something inevitably changes. Maybe you have spreadsheets for things most people would never think to put in a spreadsheet.
We see you. This might be your kind of role.

Comfortable acting without having everything perfectly defined and view ambiguity as an opportunity to bring structure, judgment, and creativity
Energetic in the face of challenging roles and responsibilities
