About Ottimate

Ottimate is an AI-native accounts payable (AP) automation and payments platform serving mid-market, multi-location operators across hospitality, healthcare, grocery and retail, and client accounting services (CAS). We help finance teams capture, code, approve, and pay invoices with AI handling the repetitive work — across AP automation, Vendor Pay payments, and spend management.

We're PE-backed (FTV Partners) and moving fast toward a more autonomous, agentic future for B2B finance. It's a great time to join and own real surface area early.

About The Role

You'll own the strategy and roadmap for Ottimate's newest product initiatives — the categories that extend our platform beyond AP automation and into the rest of the purchasing lifecycle. This portfolio includes procurement, budgeting and spend planning, contract management, and adjacent capabilities that connect what our customers buy to what they ultimately pay. These are 0-to-1 and early-stage products: you'll define the vision, validate it with customers, and take it to market.

This role also leads our Design and UX function. You'll manage product managers and designers as one team, setting a high bar for craft and ensuring that new products feel coherent, intuitive, and unmistakably Ottimate from da
