Global Principal Category Manager for Travel & Expense
We are looking for a forward-thinking and transformation-driven expert to take our general Travel & Expense (T&E;) function to the next level.

This is not a typical operational role. You will redefine how we manage travel, expense, and employee experience globally — shifting T&E; from a transactional process into a strategic, data-driven, and future-ready capability.

As part of this journey, we have recently introduced a new T&E; platform, which now needs to be scaled, embedded, and continuously optimized across our global organization.

You will play a key role in driving adoption, harmonizing processes, and unlocking the full value of this platform, while shaping the future of spend management across a complex, global environment.

Your Responsibilities

Define and implement a forward-looking global T&E; strategy

Align travel and expense programs with business priorities, cost optimization, and sustainability goals

Position T&E; as a strategic enabler, not just a control function

Lead Transformation





Drive end-to-end transformation of T&E; processes, policies, and systems

Ensure successful global rollout, adoption, and continuous improvement of the newly introduced T&E; platform

Harmonize processes across regions while respecting local requirements

Introduce and scale digital, automated, and AI-driven solutions

Challenge the status quo and continuously rethink how things are done

Embed & Optimize the Platform

Drive end-to-end integration of the T&E; platform into global processes and workflows

Improve usability and ensure a seamless employee experience across travel and expense

Identify gaps, inefficiencies, and opportunities for further optimization

Partner with IT and vendors to continuously enhance system capabilities and performance

Leverage Data for Value Creation

Use data to drive insights, cost transparency, and better decision-making

Enable visibility into spend patterns and traveler behavior
