As a Launch Manager you'll be the face of Navan for our most strategic Premier clients during the most critical moment of their journey — the transition from Reed & Mackay to Navan. 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.
