About The Position

Ottimate is an AI-powered finance automation platform that takes the grind out of accounts payable.

This role is for someone who can drive large-scale design projects, establish a cohesive design system, and champion a user-centric culture throughout the organization. You will be responsible for defining the future of our product's look, feel, and usability, ensuring that it's both powerful and intuitive for our customers.
