We are looking for a detail-oriented corporate travel manager and T&E administrator to manage an efficient corporate travel program that meets the fast-paced nature of our business. You will implement and enforce effective corporate travel policies and monitor traveling activity and programs. You will need to maintain and build relationships with airlines and hotels so that our employees have a smooth travel experience and the company is responsible about travel spend. You’ll work closely with the Finance team to ensure that travel spend is budgeted and charged correctly, and also with the People team to ensure that candidates, new hires, and existing employees have a seamless travel experience.
A corporate travel manager doesn’t just handle travel arrangements. You should be a strategic thinker and able to create travel policies according to the company’s needs. If you add excellent people skills, organizational ability and a great deal of professionalism, then you’re someone we’d like to meet!

• Provide reports on travel to the finance and leadership teams
• Ensure compliance with different relevant travel policies and procedures
• Suggest improvement and innovation in travel programs
• T&E system management including proper account classification for expense reimbursements and corporate card transactions
