Role Overview

The Travel Program Analyst supports the travel program through analytics, reporting, systems administration, technology optimization, and operational support. This role serves as the technical and analytical backbone of the travel function while also acting as a key operational partner capable of triaging traveler, assistant, and stakeholder needs related to travel systems, reporting, policy application, and escalated travel issues.

The ideal candidate combines strong analytical and technical capabilities with practical travel operations experience and the ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, service-oriented environment.

This role is not a traditional travel agent position; rather, it functions as an internal strategic travel operator and escalation point that bridges white-glove traveler support, vendor/agency partnership management, and travel program execution. The ideal candidate brings deep entertainment or high-touch corporate travel experience, understands the nuances of servicing demanding travelers and assistants, and can navigate complex travel situations with exceptional judgment and service orientation.

Maintain traveler profiles, policy logic, approval routing, travel bands, and system data integrity
Assist with system updates, policy changes, and platform enhancements

Integrations / Technology Support

Partner with HRIS, Finance, and IT on travel-related integrations and data feeds
Support troubleshooting and maintenance of integrations between HRIS, booking, and expense platforms
Assist in testing/UAT for platform enhancements, upgrades, and implementations

Operational / Stakeholder Support

Serve as point of contact for travel systems, reporting, and policy-related inquiries from travelers, assistants, and business stakeholders
Triage escalated travel issues and route appropriately across internal teams and external partners
Support ad hoc operational requests and stakeholder-specific analysis
Partner with Travel leadership to resolve operational issues impacting traveler experience or program compliance

Process Improvement

Identify opportunities for automation, workflow optimization, and process improvement across the travel ecosystem
Document SOPs, workflows, and system processes to support scalable operations

Qualifications

3-5+ years of experience in travel operations, travel systems, travel analytics, or related travel program support role
Strong understanding of corporate travel operations and travel technology platforms
Experience with travel platform administration/configuration preferred
Advanced Excel and analytical/reporting skills required
Experience with BI/reporting tools (Power BI, Tableau, Looker, etc.) preferred
Familiarity with HRIS, Finance, and system integrations strongly preferred
Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
Ability to manage stakeholder requests and triage operational issues in a fast-paced environment
Service-oriented mindset with strong attention to detail
