About the role:
Ottimate is seeking a highly motivated MBA intern to work directly with the Chief Payments Officer on strategic initiatives that leverage Artificial Intelligence to transform how a modern Payments organization operates.

The successful candidate will leave behind tools, frameworks, and AI-enabled assets that continue to drive value long after the internship concludes.

- No-code automation tools (Zapier, Make, n8n)
- Power BI, Tableau, or Looker
- SQL or Python (helpful but not required)
- Experience in fintech, payments, or SaaS

Depending on organizational priorities, the intern may work on initiatives such as:
- Build an AI-powered Payments Knowledge Assistant for internal teams
- Develop AI playbooks for customer onboarding and VendorPay adoption
- Create an intelligent SOP and documentation framework
- Design decision-support tools for Payment Operations leadership
- Map operational processes and identify automation opportunities
- Develop AI workflows that reduce repetitive manual work

- AI-enabled workflows
- Reusable knowledge bases
- Process improvements
- Strategic recommendations
- Executive-ready presentations
- Operational frameworks that increase scalability and reduce dependency on manual effort
Our Philosophy
We believe the best organizations do not simply add people—they build better systems.
Our team is efficient, yet curious, constantly asking:
- Can AI solve this?
- Can the process be simplified?
- Can we build something that scales?
If those questions excite you, we’d love to hear from you.
