  • Conduct regular vendor performance reviews against contracted SLAs and lead contract negotiations.
Stakeholder Support & Training
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for employee travel and card inquiries; create and deliver regular training on policy, expense reporting, and card usage.
  • Partner with Accounts Payable, Procurement, Legal, and HR to streamline global T&E operations.

What You'll Bring:

  • Strong understanding of travel industry practices, GDS systems, and online booking tools.
  • Advanced Excel skills (VLOOKUPs, pivot tables, data modeling); strong analytical and communication skills.
  • Exceptional verbal and written communication skills to deliver user-friendly training and interact confidently with senior leaders 
  • A proactive problem-solver who turns raw transactional data into strategic savings recommendations.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
