Lead Product Manager, Platform

Are you a passionate and strategic product leader with a deep understanding of B2B software and platform services? We are seeking a foundational leader to own and drive the strategy for several critical modules that anchor our global product. You will be responsible for creating a scalable platform that seamlessly integrates with external systems, empowers our customers with valuable data insights, and delivers a truly inclusive experience through localization and accessibility.

This is a high-impact, hands-on role where you will work with global teams across different time zones and cultures, cutting through complexity to bring clarity and direction. If you are passionate about building robust, technical products that form the bedrock of a successful enterprise solution, this is your chance to make a significant impact on our hyper-growth trajectory.

What You'll Do

• Lead the Product Strategy and Vision: Own and develop the product strategy and roadmap for key platform capabilities, including integrations, data services, and core platform functionality.
• Drive Integration as a Platform: Define the strategy for our integration ecosystem. This includes managing APIs, building robust integrations with external systems (e.g., HRIS, calendar services), and exposing these capabilities as a scalable platform for our core application and third-party developers.
• Empower Data-Driven Decisions: Spearhead the product strategy for our data services. This involves defining how we collect, organize, and store application data, and then exposing it through valuable, insightful reports and dashboards for customers and internal stakeholders.
• Own Horizontal Capabilities: Drive the product strategy for critical horizontal features that enhance the entire platform, with a specific focus on localization and accessibility. You will ensure our product is globally-ready and designed to meet the needs of all users.
• Be a Hands-On Leader: Partner closely with world-class engineers, designers, and data analysts to define, design, build, launch, and measure new products and features. You will be accountable for the outcomes and impact of your modules.
• Communicate with Clarity: Build influence across the organization through powerful storytelling, a deep understanding of data, and logical, concise communication. You will be an expert at cutting through the noise to bring clarity and direction to complex, global initiatives.
• Work Globally: Collaborate cross-functionally with product, engineering, and business teams located in different regions and time zones to ensure alignment on product goals and delivery.

What We're Looking For

• Experience: You have 8+ years of experience in product management, with a clear understanding of how different products within a portfolio work together to drive business outcomes.
• Technical Acumen: You are a technically-minded product manager with a solid understanding of APIs, data pipelines, backend services, and a track record of working on complex platform products.
• Domain Knowledge: You have experience managing product strategy for B2B software and are comfortable with concepts related to data management, system integrations, and multi-tenant SaaS architectures.
• Exceptional Judgment: You demonstrate excellent judgment in identifying which problems to solve, how to create value, and in designing elegant solutions.
• Clear Communicator: You are proactive, persistent, and creative in confronting challenges. You have a track record of partnering with others to get things done and can engender trust and respect among your colleagues through your communication style.
• Hands-On Mentality: You thrive on an empowered product team and understand the techniques and methods of modern product discovery and delivery. You feel strong accountability for outcomes and understand the role of your team's outputs in achieving them.
• Global Mindset: You are passionate about building products for a global user base and understand the importance of inclusion and diversity in your team and your product design.

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.
