Egencia: Business travel for the Expedia generation!
Egencia, is rewriting the book on how companies and their employees arrange travel. Unique in the market, we operate like an agile and entrepreneurial start-up but we are backed by one of the world’s largest travel groups Expedia Inc. Expedia has invested twice the amount on technology advancement in the last year than any of Egencia’s competitors and this means we’re growing, and growing fast. In 2015, Egencia grew over its largest competitors 2x faster and we have BIG growth plans for 2017 and beyond.

You will lead Egencia’s Supply and Operations finance function and provide business partnership to Egencia’s SVP and Chief Operating Officer (COO).

The role will frame and lead development of financial analyses to support the supply and operations organization’s investment decisions and collaboratively drive performance improvements.
You will closely support Egencia CFO in preparation for Egencia and EI senior leadership discussions, foster transparency in performance, drive optimal decision making, push continuous improvements across the organization and will be a key member of the Egencia CFO’s global leadership team.

• Lead the preparation of weekly, monthly and quarterly results reporting packages, as well as quarterly forecast reporting packages, including specific analyses of commercial teams performance
• Support negotiations of supply deals with various transport, hotel suppliers and other third parties, evaluate economics of deals and provide recommendations to optimize Egencia’s financial outcome

• Excellent analytical, communication, presentation and influencing skills
• Intellectual curiosity and business acumen
Who Are We?
• We believe in being Different. We seek new ideas, different ways of thinking, diverse backgrounds and approaches, because averages can lie and sameness is dangerous. Because of this belief, our norms aren't rules or universal at all corners of our company. But they are important to our identity and how we work together. Like our company, these norms will evolve.
• We are Transparent. We communicate openly and honestly, at all levels, upwards, sideways and downwards. We surface difficult issues quickly, we act, we learn.
• We organize for Speed. We seek to gather data as fast as possible, and move. Speed allows us to make mistakes and constantly improve.
• We believe in the Scientific Method. Everyone’s ideas are equal in the face of hard data. We use data to guide but not define our actions.
• We Lead Humbly. Our leaders serve their teams. None of us has all of the answers, but we are curious and we are always looking to learn. Though our leaders take their responsibilities to our business and their teams incredibly seriously, they never take themselves too seriously.
• We act as One Team. We look to optimize for the greater good, not just our own, or even our own teams' interests. We are actively interested in the success of others.
