Job Description Summary

We have an opening for a Senior Analyst, Global Travel & Expense.

The Senior Analyst, Global Travel & Expense is the dedicated owner of the firm’s travel, expense, and card program operations within Global Accounts Payable at Paul Hastings. Reporting to the Global AP Compliance Program Manager, this role owns the Travel & Expense (“T&E”) policy governance, corporate and purchasing card program management, T&E controls and audit readiness, exception management and root cause analysis, T&E reporting and analytics, and the T&E platform workstreams within the firm’s AP transformation. Where Processors execute expense transactions, the Senior Analyst governs the program around them — setting the standard, measuring performance, protecting the control environment, and fixing what breaks at the source. This role serves as the firm’s authority on expense policy and card programs, partnering with attorneys, partners, business leaders, HR, Payroll, Travel, and Procurement on matters that are often sensitive and rarely black-and-white. This is not just a processing position. It demands deep end-to-end T&E expertise, strong controls mindset, analytical rigor, and the judgment and presence to be a trusted partner across the firm.
