About the Role

Navan (Nasdaq: NAVN) is the leading all-in-one business travel, payments, and expense management platform. Our mission is to make travel easy for every frequent traveler by delivering an intuitive experience that travelers love and finance teams rely on. From AI-driven search to automated expense reconciliation, we help our customers focus on the human connections that drive their success. Our team is our competitive edge – a high-performance group of smart, driven people committed to winning together. At Navan, we provide an environment where top talent excels, offering the autonomy and fast-paced trajectory needed to build a defining career.

We are looking for a Director / Senior Director of Strategic Finance to act as the primary financial and commercial leader for our Signature Service organisation out of the UK. In this highly visible role, you will serve as the strategic right-hand to the CEO of Signature Services while driving critical global initiatives. You will lead complex structural integrations, shape our global pricing strategy, and build scalable frameworks that drive monetization and streamline commercial operations. We are seeking a dynamic, "commercial first" leader who thrives in ambiguity, commands the room with data-driven storytelling, and can seamlessly translate complex financial architecture into actionable business growth. This role will not be responsible for treasury and accounting but would work cross functionally with their counterparts.
