Senior 340B Strategy Role at Latent | Health Tech in Columbus
Career & Market Insight
This is a senior individual contributor / strategic commercial role at a well-funded, high-growth health tech startup (Series B+, $80M raised, backed by General Catalyst and Spark Capital). It sits at the intersection of regulatory expertise, partnerships, and sales enablement — a rare and valuable combination in the healthcare SaaS market.
Compensation signals: No salary is listed, but roles of this seniority (7+ years, SME-level) at VC-backed health tech companies typically range from $160,000–$220,000 base plus meaningful equity. The equity mention is a positive signal for wealth-building at a pre-IPO company.
Skills you'll develop:
- Deep 340B regulatory and commercial strategy — a niche but highly monetizable expertise
- Enterprise health system sales and partnership management
- Cross-functional product influence and go-to-market strategy
- Thought leadership and external positioning in a regulated market
Green flags: Backed by top-tier VCs; clear company mission with measurable customer base (60+ health systems, 70M people); role has real internal influence over product roadmap and commercial strategy.
Red flags to consider: The 30–40% travel requirement is demanding long-term. "Comfortable without a playbook" signals you'll be building structure from scratch — rewarding for some, stressful for others. No salary transparency may indicate negotiation room or uncertainty.
Overall, this is an excellent career accelerator for someone specializing in 340B who wants a high-impact, high-visibility commercial role at a fast-growing company.

What We're Looking For
- 7+ years at a 340B or pharmacy vendor, in 340B program management (at a health system or pharmaceutical manufacturer), or in 340B-focused healthcare consulting.
- Deep, operational command of 340B — from how programs actually run day to day to where the regulatory and legal landscape is heading.
- Presented to or negotiated with health system executives (CFO, CPO, 340B Director, VP Pharmacy).
- Identified, developed, and managed partnerships with technology vendors (TPAs, wholesalers, etc.) from negotiation through launch.
- Track record of driving commercial outcomes you can point to, like deals closed or accelerated, partnerships launched, or revenue impact.

- Turned customer and market feedback into clear, actionable input for product teams.
- Comfortable operating without a playbook and building what's needed as you go.
- Willing to travel 30–40% for customer meetings, partner work, and industry events.
