About The Position

Seeking an exceptionally resourceful, creative Workplace, Community & Events Lead to build the LatchBio experience! We're scaling quickly, and want the experience of working at Latch to be as exceptional as the people building it. Your job is to make Latch a place people genuinely love being part of, whether they're in our San Francisco office, working remotely, attending a company offsite, or meeting us for the first time at an industry event. You'll own our physical and virtual workplace, internal culture and community experiences, and the events that bring our team and broader ecosystem together. This is not a role for someone who simply books conference rooms and orders catering. You'll be part operator, part producer, part host, and part creative director. You should have extraordinary taste, exceptional execution, and an instinct for the small details that make an experience memorable. We want someone who can turn a vague idea into an extraordinary experience, and make the entire process look effortless.

Requirements

Experience in workplace operations, events, hospitality, community, or a similarly high-touch, execution-heavy role
Exceptional taste and a demonstrated ability to create memorable experiences
Strong project management, vendor negotiation, and budget ownership
Comfort in personally handling the unglamorous details required to make ambitious ideas happen
Experience living with and handling dogs
Strong familiarity with digital collaboration tools and enthusiasm in experimenting with virtual workplaces
Based in San Francisco and excited to be a consistent, hands-on presence in our office

Nice To Haves

Responsibilities

Own the day-to-day experience of our San Francisco office: facilities, supplies, food and beverage, vendors, maintenance, space planning, and workplace improvements. Make the office run flawlessly.
Produce team dinners, celebrations, offsites, retreats, onboarding experiences, and company-wide gatherings. Build traditions that scale with the team.
Plan and execute industry dinners, networking events, conferences, and community experiences that strengthen Latch's reputation and relationships across AI, science, and technology.
Own our Gather instance as a living extension of our office. Design spaces, manage rooms and configurations, improve adoption, and create experiences that connect distributed teams.
Develop thoughtful ways for employees across functions, locations, and tenure levels to connect. Help preserve what makes Latch special as the company scales.
Translate ideas into cohesive experiences, from venue selection and environment design to invitations, branding, catering, programming, and the smallest details.
Source and manage exceptional partners, negotiate contracts, track spending, and deliver outstanding experiences without unnecessary expense.
Build repeatable processes for office operations, event planning, employee requests, and community programming so the experience gets better as we grow.
Make sure our sweet office puppy Nix is safe and cared for.
