We balance our programs to meet local needs and ensure fairness globally.

Sample interview questionsHow would you handle a travel disruption affecting several colleagues shortly before a company event?I would first confirm each traveller’s itinerary, urgency, and any visa or accommodation constraints. I would contact the relevant vendors for alternatives, communicate clear options and deadlines to travellers, document decisions, and escalate material risks to the event lead while tracking resolution through completion.

What checks would you perform before approving a travel supplier invoice?

I would match the invoice against the booking records, approved itinerary, negotiated rates, and any credits or refunds due. I would verify traveller details, dates, currency, taxes, and duplicate charges, then resolve discrepancies with the vendor before submitting the invoice for payment.

How would you improve compliance with a company travel policy without creating friction for colleagues?

I would identify recurring exceptions and their causes through booking and spend data, then make compliant choices easier through clear guidance, preferred suppliers, and practical booking workflows. I would communicate the policy in a helpful, concise way and use feedback to address legitimate operational needs.

Describe how you would manage an unused airline ticket or travel credit.

I would record the credit in a centralized tracker with its value, owner, airline, restrictions, and expiry date. I would review the tracker regularly, notify eligible travellers or coordinators before expiry, apply credits to suitable future travel, and reconcile usage with supplier statements.

How do you stay organized when managing multiple requests from people in different time zones?

I prioritize requests by urgency, travel date, and potential operational impact, then maintain a clear task tracker with ownership and deadlines. I provide concise status updates, set expectations on response times, and use documented processes so colleagues can obtain consistent support asynchronously.
