  • Conducting regular market analysis to stay updated on housing trends and availability.
  • Maintaining accurate records of housing agreements, expenses, and correspondence.
  • Developing and implementing policies for standardized and compliant long-term accommodation processes.

  • Securing favourable terms with vendors.
  • Reconciling ad-hoc travel expenses made via department purchase cards.
  • The main point of contact when assisting with travel-related issues such as booking problems and flight cancellations.

You will have:
  • A degree in Business Administration, or a related field is preferred, but relevant experience and skills will also be considered.
  • Experience in managing long-term accommodations is highly desirable alongside meaningful experience in a corporate travel setting would be a distinct advantage.
  • Fluent in English both written and spoken.
  • Strong organisational and multitasking abilities.
  • Excellent negotiation, communication, and interpersonal skills.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel is required.
  • Proficiency in using travel tools like GDS, online booking tools and role relevant software.
