Sr T&E Specialist I Department: Finance AMER and EMEA: Reports to Global Finance Manager, T&E APAC: Reports to Regional T&E Manager Summary Regional operator within the Global Travel & Spend Management (GTSM) team, deployed to a single region (AMER, EMEA, or APAC) as the primary point of accountability for travel category performance, spend analytics, and supplier delivery. This role drives program outcomes through data-led insights, TMC and travel supplier management, and employee engagement — operating within policy and system frameworks established by the T&E Program Manager. Responsibilities Regional Operations Primary operational contact for corporate travel and expense activities in the assigned region. Manage day-to-day operations: TMC oversight, OBT support, and escalation resolution. Resolve employee issues for travel, expense, and card inquiries via centralized case management. Data Analytics & Reporting Produce spend visibility reports, supplier scorecards, and program utilization metrics. Own and maintain Tableau dashboards as the primary analytics resource for the region; conduct ad hoc spend modeling and trend forecasting to surface compliance gaps and program opportunities. Prepare and present quarterly business reviews (QBRs) to regional leadership, including spend benchmarking against prior periods and industry peers. Technology & Platform Management Monitor T&E platform health (Navan, Concur, Ramp, Oracle ERP) — identify and escalate operational issues, configuration gaps, and integration failures to the T&E Program Manager and IT teams for resolution. Identify regional configuration needs (mileage rates, receipt thresholds, audit rules, user access) and submit change requests to the T&E Program Manager for implementation, testing, and sign-off. Support platform migrations, including Concur wind-down and Navan transition. Supplier Management & Sourcing Own regional travel category supplier relationships across air, hotel, ground transportation, and TMC partners; serve as the escalation point for TMC performance issues. Note: expense system and card platform vendor relationships (Concur, Citibank, Navan) are owned by the T&E Program Manager and are outside the scope of this role. Support RFP processes, contract negotiations, rate cap management, and SLA monitoring. Audit & Compliance Conduct expense audits and quarterly compliance reviews across expense platforms; for corporate card programs, review spend data and compliance metrics only — card issuance, limit-setting, MCC management, and fraud escalation are owned by the T&E Program Manager. Identify and escalate policy violations, duplicate expenses, and anomalous transactions to the T&E Program Manager; apply established policy frameworks rather than developing or recommending policy changes. Reconcile aged transactions and manage GL codes with Finance and A/P. Employee Engagement Provide responsive support for travel, expense, and card inquiries; deliver policy and platform training. Contribute to communications (email, Slack, intranet) and participate in regional listening sessions.
