  • Maintain deep expertise in global immigration rules, embassy filing procedures, drop-box eligibility and consulate scheduling platforms.
  • Audit and review visa application documentation to ensure 100% compliance and zero error rates before embassy submission.

  • Negotiate favourable commercial terms where applicable.
  • Monitor service levels and escalate performance issues when required.

Travel Analytics, Reporting & Excel Expertise

  • Maintain and reconcile monthly AMEX and vendor payments/invoices.
  • Build, maintain and analyze monthly corporate travel MIS dashboards, spend reports, and leakage tracking models.
  • Leverage advanced Excel functions (VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, Pivot Tables, SUMIFS, Data Validation, Power Query) to reconcile complex flight/hotel booking data against card statements.
  • Identify travel spend trends, booking lead times, policy violation rates, and cost-saving opportunities through structured data analysis.

Risk Management

  • Monitor travel advisories and global risk alerts.
  • Advise travellers on safety protocols and documentation requirements.
  • Support duty-of-care responsibilities.

Process Improvement

  • Identify opportunities for automation and cost optimization.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of travel operations and user experience.

Key Requirements

Mandatory Background

  • Proven track record working within corporate travel desks, TMCs, corporate card platforms (e.g., Amex Central/VCC), and consular visa operations.

Advanced Excel & Analytical Skills

  • Knowledge of Power BI or dashboard creation is a plus.

Technical Proficiency
