      Amex GBT is a place where colleagues find inspiration in travel as a force for good and – through their work – can make an impact on our industry. We’re here to help our colleagues achieve success and offer an inclusive and collaborative culture where your voice is valued.

      Ready to explore a career path? Start your journey.

      Amex GBT Consulting is the consulting arm of American Express Global Business Travel, the leading Software and Services Company in the world. Within the consulting organisation – existing of 200+ consultants across the globe - we work with the worlds most respected organisations and brands to accelerate their programs, utilising our technology and expertise to enable social, economic, and environmental progress.

      Operating in a continually changing environment, our diversified consultants deliver on multi-disciplinary projects around travel and expense program optimisation, from traditional sourcing activities up to enhanced sustainability initiatives

      We’re now looking for an ambitious consulting associate to join our delivery team based in the UK. In this role, you can enjoy the physical support from our London Hub colleagues, while virtually you also benefit from our global expertise.

      About the role:

      When you are assigned to a new project, you will work alongside a consulting manager or other consulting associates. At times you may be required to undertake projects of your own.

      You'll help to guide and direct the customer and affiliate stake holders in an efficient, effective manner to achieve the objectives as set for the project, within the agreed timelines and associated costs. You will enjoy interacting across a range of subject matters – where applicable - including sourcing and category management, expense management, stakeholder engagement and communication, and spend management to name but a few.

      You play a role in problem solving, identification of challenges and transforming hypotheses and conclusions into recommendations and suggestions of solutions in collaboration with consulting managers and your direct leader.

      You'll work on several smaller sized engagements to begin with and as your skills and abilities develop will transition to larger sized engagements all backed up by continual training and development.

      What skills and experience you'll need to succeed:

      • Experience in a client facing environment would be highly desirable.
      • Collaborative, energetic, flexible and can-do attitude.
      • Analytically minded, understands data with ease and is comfortable in its manipulation to draw insights and conclusions.
      • Can multi-task easily and manage competing priorities.
