Accounts Payable Specialist

Creature • Birmingham, AL

About The Position

Creature is a vertically integrated Design–Manufacture–Construct (DMC) company built to replace the century-old, siloed approach of the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction industry. Our DMC platform uses design to leverage manufacturing productivity so construction is simpler, faster, and more reliable. Our goal is clear: build projects that are twice as good, twice as fast, with twice the value (2x2x2).
We integrate Architecture, Construction, Mechanical, Plumbing, and Fabrication into one enterprise. We are not a traditional General Contractor — we are a multi-disciplined builder performing work for ourselves. Creature delivers healthcare and multifamily projects across the Southeastern U.S. by stitching together modular and site-built systems into a single, high-performing solution.

Ensure accurate, timely, and disciplined processing of all accounts payable activities so Creature’s integrated platform operates with financial clarity and reliability.
