By combining cutting-edge technology, corporate cards, and a modern traveler experience, Navan is disrupting traditional enterprise T&E pacing past $900M+ in revenue with over $9B in Gross Booking Volume.
At Navan, we believe world-class technology should empower world-class human service. We are committed to building an AI-first service ecosystem where frontline travel consultants and intelligent automation work in tandem to deliver a true 5-star concierge experience at scale.
The Opportunity
We are looking for a sharp, user-obsessed, and high-slope Senior Product Director, Service Operations to serve as the core product counterpart to our engineering and operational leadership.
In this role, you will own the end-to-end product vision for internal tools, consultant workflows, crisis management, and the next-generation AI intelligence layer powering our global service operations. A key focus of your mandate will be expanding and rebranding our core internal platform.
Taking our AI travel assistant, Ava, to the next level ("Ava for Consultants") to automate complex travel workflows, improve agent productivity, and elevate customer experience.
This is a high-ownership, high-impact role at the intersection of product, AI, operations, and customer experience. You will manage and mentor product managers, partner deeply with cross-functional teams across our global hubs, and build toward a future with expanding scope across service technology, operational systems, and potential engineering leadership.
What You’ll Do
-
Own the Service Ops Strategy: Drive the end-to-end product strategy for internal tools, agent workflows, AI copilots, crisis management systems, and service quality infrastructure.
-
Evolve Internal AI Architecture: Lead the product evolution of Ava into an intelligent, AI-driven copilot for frontline travel consultants—enabling faster resolutions, automated policy enforcement, and personalized support across complex travel and expense scenarios.
-
Partner Cross-Functionally & Globally: Collaborate deeply with engineering, frontline operations, design, data, and training teams across our global hubs (London, Tel Aviv, Portugal, India, and the US).
-
Elevate the Frontline Experience: Build intuitive tools that reduce cognitive load for agents, accelerate onboarding ramp times, and guide decision-making during high-pressure moments.
-
Define & Track Core Success Metrics: Own KPIs aligned with operational efficiency, customer satisfaction (CSAT), agent productivity, first-contact resolution (FCR), automation rates, and platform reliability.
-
Build & Scale Product Ops: Consolidate and mentor existing PM talent while helping establish a world-class Product Operations function to bridge frontline insights with product development.
What We’re Looking For
-
Product Leadership & High Slope: 8–10+ years of product management experience, with a track record of driving massive impact in complex operational environments, support platforms, internal tools, enterprise SaaS, or marketplace platforms. (Prior team management preferred, but high-impact ICs with strong leadership trajectory will be evaluated).
-
AI Product Instincts: Hands-on experience or deep technical intuition for building AI-powered tools, copilots, workflow automation, knowledge platforms, or agentic intelligence.
-
Operational Depth: A genuine love for untangling fragmented, complex operational problems and translating frontline pain points into elegant, scalable software.
-
Technical Acumen: Ability to collaborate closely with engineering leaders on platform architecture, integrations, APIs, and workflow systems.
-
Global Mobility & Collaboration: Willingness to travel periodically to key engineering and operational hubs (Tel Aviv, Portugal, India, US) and work collaboratively out of our London office.
-
High Ownership & Growth Mindset: A builder who thrives in fast-paced, evolving environments and is excited by ambiguity and expanding scope.
