  • Technical Integration & Cross-Functional Alignment

    • Product Advocacy: Translate customer pain points and system gaps into actionable feedback to influence Navan’s product roadmap.
    • Issue Escalation: Assist customers in quickly identifying potential technical risks and escalate them appropriately to ensure a seamless onboarding window.
    • Payment & Expense Expertise is a must
  • Change Management & Process Optimization
    • Tailored Training: Design, develop, and deliver comprehensive change management and training programs (including written/video collateral, standard operating procedures, and remote/on-site training) to drive rapid end-user adoption.
    • Playbook Development: Capture insights from each migration to continuously optimize process efficiency, build out work instructions, and scale the Navan Premier playbook.

What We're Looking For:

  • Domain & Industry Expertise
    • Experience: 4+ years in enterprise SaaS implementation, account management, project management, or corporate travel program management.
    • Travel Domain Knowledge: Deep familiarity with corporate travel programs, including policy configuration, traveler profiles, approval workflows, reporting, and duty of care.
    • Expense & FinTech Exposure: Direct experience implementing or administering expense programs and/or corporate card programs.
    • Financial Systems: Understanding of month-end close processes, ideally with cloud-based ERPs (e.g., NetSuite, Sage Intacct, QuickBooks Online).
  • Skills & Attributes
    • Execution & Drive: A hyper-effective project manager who can dive into the weeds of complex data migration while remaining connected to macro business strategies.
    • Problem Solving: A natural, inquisitive problem solver who uncovers solutions to suit client needs. .
    • Communication: Exceptional oral, written, and presentation skills; an ability to capture attention and explain complex technical concepts simply to diverse audiences.
