You'll bring deep expertise in enterprise travel program management, a consultative mindset, and the ability to earn trust fast with sophisticated buyers. You'll own the end-to-end migration experience: from discovery and data migration through go-live and early adoption — ensuring every client launches with confidence and immediately feels the Navan difference. This role is a rare opportunity to become the subject matter expert on one of our most strategic migration paths, helping to shape our playbook and influence product design. What You’ll Do: Client Advisory & Strategic Onboarding - End-to-End Ownership: Lead complex, high-touch migrations from Reed & Mackay to Navan Premier, managing all work streams, project plans, and timelines from kickoff to go-live. - Stakeholder Management: Serve as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders (travel managers, CFOs, procurement), maintaining high-quality communication and holding executive presence. - Discovery & Workflows: Lead the discovery process to map legacy Reed & Mackay policies, workflows, preferred suppliers, reporting, and duty of care requirements into equivalent Navan solutions. - Pre-Engagement Support: Identify and partner with the Sales team on pre-engagement opportunities and RFP responses. Technical Integration & Cross-Functional Alignment - Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Solutions Engineering, Product, Operations, Travel Experience/Support, Consulting & Supply, and Customer Success to resolve migration-specific complexities. - 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: - 4+ years in enterprise SaaS implementation, account management, project management, or corporate travel program management. - Deep familiarity with corporate travel programs, including policy configuration, traveler profiles, approval workflows, reporting, and duty of care. - Direct experience implementing or administering expense programs and/or corporate card programs. - Understanding of month-end close processes, ideally with cloud-based ERPs (e.g., NetSuite, Sage Intact, QuickBooks Online). - A hyper-effective project manager who can dive into the weeds of complex data migration while remaining connected to macro business strategies. - A natural, inquisitive problem solver who uncovers solutions to suit client needs. . - Exceptional oral, written, and presentation skills; an ability to capture attention and explain complex technical concepts simply to diverse audiences. - Experience with Salesforce, Jira, or similar project management and CRM platforms is a plus. - Willing and able to travel both domestically and internationally to visit customers and prospects. 25% The posted pay range represents the anticipated low and high end of the compensation for this position and is subject to change based on business need.
