## Description (the employer's text)

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.
### 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%
