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.

Travel is one of the largest and least coordinated spend categories for most organizations, and the partners they already trust are often best placed to change that. You'll build relationships with channel partners, show them how a coordinated travel program can improve their own travel investment, and create savings proposals that motivate their clients and networks to partner with us as well. You'll own the strategy, the relationships, and the results, from first conversation through the first months after signing.

What You’ll Do

• Build and run a targeted sales strategy for channel partners and the members they serve.
• Win new business from prospective channel partners and their clients, and meet monthly sales, transaction, and KPI targets.
• Develop joint account plans with partners to identify, prioritize, and open doors with their clients.
• Deliver customized, integrated travel management solutions across online and offline channels, tailored to each client's goals.
• Create and present compelling proposals that connect our value to what each prospect is trying to achieve.
• Document and communicate the return on investment of every proposed solution, including unexpected benefits.
• Handle objections with decision makers, ask for the business with confidence, and move people to action.
• Build trusted relationships with senior client contacts and with colleagues across Sales, Implementation, Account Management, and Product.
• Keep CRM records current, including daily activity, pipeline progress, and forecasts.
• Sell with integrity, and follow compliance and internal partner requirements so every client has a consistent experience.

What We’re Looking For

• 5 years of sales experience, ideally in channel, partner, or alliance selling.
• A consultative approach and a record of exceeding quota in a strategic sales role.
• Strong CRM skills (Salesforce or similar) and comfort with technology tools.
• Skill at building credibility with senior executives at partner and client organizations.
• Strong presentation, negotiation, and financial storytelling skills, including building a business case from savings data.
• Knowledge of the travel industry, corporate travel management, or expense and procurement solutions.
• Existing relationships with channel partners and a respected industry reputation.
• Experience selling to clients through a third-party partner, such as a consultancy, investor, association, or technology provider.
• Willingness to travel up to 50%.
