Responsibilities

- Act as the escalation point for complex card, expense, and travel issues, resolving them efficiently and using patterns to drive systemic improvement.

- Lead evaluation and selection of next-generation T&E technologies, including AI-enabled expense automation, touchless audit controls, and integrated booking tools.
- Drive change management and adoption strategies that ensure employees and approvers embrace new tools and updated policies at a global scale.
- Data, Analytics & Benchmarking
- Own T&E program analytics — build dashboards and reporting frameworks that surface spend trends, policy compliance, category performance, and savings opportunities.
- Benchmark Marvell’s program against industry best practices and peer companies; translate findings into a compelling narrative for leadership that drives prioritization and investment decisions.
- Define and track KPIs across all program dimensions: cost efficiency, traveler satisfaction, compliance rates, and vendor performance.
- Employee Experience & Policy
- Lead a comprehensive rewrite of Marvell’s global travel policy — simplifying language, aligning with market norms, and reflecting the needs of a global, hybrid workforce.
- Champion the employee experience across every T&E touchpoint: booking, expense submission, reimbursement, and traveler support.
- Build feedback mechanisms to continuously capture employee sentiment and surface actionable improvements.
- Finance & Accounting Partnership
- Partner closely with the Accounting team to drive synergy across T&E operations and financial close processes, ensuring accurate expense accruals, timely reconciliations, and clean audit trails.

- You see policy as a tool for enabling employees, not restricting them.
- You bring data to every conversation, and you know how to translate it into decisions.

Experience
- 8–12 years of progressive experience in corporate travel, T&E management, corporate card programs, or related finance operations.

- Proven ability to write clear, practical travel policy that employees actually follow.
- Strong project management and change management skills; comfortable leading programs across multiple geographies and business units.
