Configure entity-level coding and approval flows in Brex and Navan for new legal entities and countries.
Document country-specific rules for per diems, VAT reclaim, non-USD cards, receipt requirements, and local tax treatment; collaborate with Tax, Payroll, and Global Mobility.
Design and operate a risk-based audit program that includes sampling, anomaly detection, misuse escalation, and remediation tracking.

Partner with the Head of T&E to deploy AI tools such as Claude for transaction review and automated reporting.
Oversee day-to-day T&E operations, platform configuration, and automation to support increasing travel and expense volume.
Review transactions and receipts, determining which tasks can be automated versus manually staffed.
Work with Benefits, Payroll, and Legal to ensure compliance with local and country-specific regulations.
