Account Executive, Expansion

Location:New York, NY

Department:Sales

About the Role:

As an Expense Account Executive at Navan, you will join a high-performing, specialized team responsible for supporting over 3,000 active customers. Your mission is to help finance and accounting leaders optimize their travel and expense (T&E) programs through Navan's powerful global expense management platform, reimbursement engine, and integrated corporate card technology.

This is a quota-carrying role focused on revenue expansion within a strategic portfolio of existing accounts. You'll leverage deep discovery, multi-threaded relationship building, and value-based storytelling to unlock whitespace and drive adoption across Navan Expense and Payments solutions. This is a rare opportunity to be at the forefront of transforming how modern finance teams operate.

What You'll Do:

  • Own a defined book of high-potential Navan customers and drive net-new revenue across Expense and Payments products
  • Lead strategic sales cycles from prospecting through close, collaborating cross-functionally with Account Managers, Customer Success, and Product Marketing
  • Create tailored account action plans to identify expansion opportunities, influence decision-makers, and execute against growth targets
  • Build deep, multi-threaded relationships within Finance, Accounting, and Procurement—earning the right to become a trusted partner to CFOs and Controllers
  • Position Navan's differentiated value proposition against legacy incumbents and competitive tools using Challenger-style discovery and objection handling
  • Deliver compelling product demos and commercial proposals tailored to each customer’s T&E strategy and business goals
  • Partner with executive leadership, product, and marketing to share customer feedback and influence roadmap priorities
  • Consistently exceed monthly, quarterly, and annual expansion quotas

What We're Looking For:

  • 4+ years of full-cycle SaaS sales experience with a track record of outperforming quota
  • Experience selling to Finance, Accounting, or Procurement stakeholders—or a complex product that requires multi-threading and metric-supported business case creation
  • Strong command of outbound prospecting and account planning within a defined customer base
  • Ability to execute complex, multi-threaded deal cycles involving multiple stakeholders across varying levels of seniority
  • Highly organized and capable of managing a large pipeline of opportunities across different stages and timelines
  • Technically competent and confident running your own live product demos to a range of stakeholder personas
  • Expertise in framing business value and driving urgency within existing customer relationships
  • Strong collaboration and internal influence skills; comfortable working cross-functionally and navigating ambiguity
  • Experience with sales methodologies like MEDDPICC, Challenger, or Command of the Message is a plus
  • A growth mindset, high EQ, and a passion for redefining what world-class upsell sales looks like

Navan About Us

Navan is the all-in-one super app that makes travel and expense easy so you can focus on being there, not getting there. Say goodbye to spending hours on the phone trying to change your flight or saving stacks of receipts to manually input expenses. From EAs and finance teams to travel managers and employees, Navan empowers people to focus on the things that matter most to them — all while providing companies with real-time visibility, savings, and control.

Navan’s investors include visionaries like Andreessen Horowitz, Lightspeed Ventures, Greenoaks, Zeev Ventures, and entrepreneurs Lee Fixel, Adam Bain, and Elad Gil. Valued at $9.2B, Navan is well-positioned for continued growth as it continues its takeover of the travel and expense market.

In April 2023, Navan expanded in the Indian market with the acquisition of Tripeur, a modern, people-centric corporate travel and expense management company. The group’s fifth acquisition in under two years, Tripeur joined the Navan Group alongside Spanish meetings and events specialists, Atlanta Events & Corporate Travel Consultants; Berlin-based modern travel management company, Comtravo; leading Scandinavian travel agency Resia AB; and London-based high-touch TMC, Reed & Mackay — the latter of which remains a standalone brand.

At Navan, we’re never satisfied with the status quo, and we know breakthrough ideas come from diverse perspectives. We are committed to cultivating a workplace that reflects the diversity of the customers we serve while fostering leadership and innovation. All voices are valued here and you’ll have the resources, tools, and training you’ll need to do the best work of your life.
