The D. E. Shaw group is a global investment and technology development firm with more than $100 billion in investment capital as of June 1, 2026, and offices in North America, Europe, and Asia. Since our founding in 1988, our firm has earned an international reputation for successful investing based on innovation, careful risk management, and the quality and depth of our staff. We have a significant presence in the world's capital markets, investing in a wide range of companies and financial instruments in both developed and developing economies.

We are looking for a Travel Manager to join our team in Hyderabad and own the firm’s travel function end to end—policy, supplier negotiations, platform and vendor management, ticketing oversight, and the billing and reporting that sit behind it. This is a hands-on, single-owner role for someone who can run day-to-day travel operations reliably while also treating travel as a spend category to be benchmarked, negotiated, and continuously improved. The Immigration and travel team manages the firm’s global needs,



by liaising with employees for their visa, travel and permanent residency processes across entities while coordinating with embassies, consulates, travel vendors and external immigration consultants.

WHAT YOU'LL DO DAY-TO-DAY:
You will own and monitor the firmwide travel policy—covering class-of-travel entitlements, advance-booking windows, rate caps, per diems, approval thresholds, and the exception process—and benchmark it against peers and published market data, comparing policy terms, negotiated rates, service fees, and traveler entitlements to recommend changes with a transparent cost and traveler-experience rationale. You will run periodic corporate fare and hotel programme negotiations with airlines, hotels, and ground-support providers, securing discounted fares, corporate rate codes, volume-based rebates, and soft advantages such as upgrades, lounge access, waived change fees, and last-room availability, and manage
