You will work closely with customers’ project, finance, and IT stakeholders, as well as senior decision-makers, to drive a smooth, seamless, and optimal implementation and onboarding experience. You will partner cross-functionally with our Sales, Technical Integrations, Product & Engineering, Finance, and Support teams to ensure we meet and exceed both Navan’s and our customers’ goals.
You can expect a fast-paced and dynamic culture where change is the only constant, where we’re passionate about what we do, and where we believe we can do just about anything. This position will be located in our Paris office.

- Develop project plans, coordinate deliverables, and ensure timely, high-quality deployments.
- Collaborate with Account Managers and build trusted advisor relationships with customers (from program administrators to senior stakeholders) to ensure implementation plans align with business goals and operational needs.
Develop and maintain a deep understanding of Navan’s travel and expense product to train and enable program administrators and end users on product functionality.
- Broaden relationships within accounts beyond the core project team, ensuring access to decision-makers and multiple champions across teams and levels within the organization.
- Act as the voice of the customer, providing internal feedback on how we can better serve Mid-Market customers from a product and technical perspective.
- Identify opportunities to streamline implementation and onboarding processes, and share best practices across the team.
- Travel to customer sites as required.
