This person will be a key leader within the post-sales organization, driving both strategy, and high performance execution.

At Navan, our Solutions Consulting (SC) organization is not a reactive support function; it is a high-impact, revenue-generating engine. You will own the strategic framework for client enablement—leading a critical organization across Solutions Consulting, Implementation, and Technical Integrations to ensure customers realize rapid time-to-value and maximum ROI from the Navan platform.   You will work with our most important and complex global customers -  driving implementation and change management for new clients; and ongoing optimization for our mature client base.  You will also play a key role as ‘voice of the customer’ to inform our Product vision and roadmap.

What You’ll Do:

• Architect Global Strategy: Define and execute the long-term vision for a 30+ person global Solutions Consulting (SC), Professional Services and Technical Integrations organization, evolving the team into a strategic weapon for retention, implementation, and revenue growth.
• Drive Financial Transformation: Lead the end-to-end implementation and change management strategy for the Navan Expense suite, re-engineering complex business processes for our clients to drive cost savings, user experience, visibility and efficient month-end close.
• Strategic Value Engineering & Account Retention: Serve as the executive technical lead for Navan’s most complex and mature accounts, performing deep-dive re-configurations, designing creative workarounds for unique business requirements, and leading "at-risk" interventions to secure and stabilize enterprise partnerships.  Refine and evolve how Navan demonstrates and articulates client ROI.
• Own Revenue & Performance Levers: Be directly accountable for a revenue-aligned plan, driving direct impact through launch acceleration, retention, and  professional services.
• Act as the Strategic Bridge: Serve as the "Voice of the Customer" to Product and Engineering leadership, ensuring that client needs are embedded in the product roadmap and that the right things are prioritized.
• Uplevel Executive Influence: Manage and influence senior-level stakeholders across Sales, Product, and Finance, driving the alignment and strategic clarity required to scale.
• Scale an Elite Org: Recruit, develop, and inspire a multidisciplinary global team across, fostering a culture of extreme ownership and technical excellence.

What We’re Looking For:

• Hyper-Growth B2B Tech Leadership: 8-10+ years of experience leading post-sales delivery, solutions consulting, implementations, or technical account management within high-growth, fast-paced SaaS, Fintech, or B2B enterprise software companies. 
• Fintech & Financial Fluency (Preferred):  A deep understanding of the "Office of the CFO," including global expense management, multi-entity accounting, and the technical intricacies of fintech integrations.
• Operational Rigor: A proven track record of managing a global P&L and a 25+ person team, with the ability to build scalable processes that balance quality with high-velocity execution.
• Strategic Versatility: An executive who can "fly at multiple altitudes"—capable of presenting a multi-year vision while also diving into the weeds of frontline client needs.
• Communication & Presence: Exceptional executive presence with the ability to navigate high-stakes negotiations and drive alignment across cross-functional partners.
• Adaptability & Speed: Comfort navigating the ambiguity of a hyper-growth environment, thriving in quick decision-making cycles, and aligning with Navan’s fast-paced, user-centric culture.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Business or Finance preferred; MBA or CPA is a significant plus.
