Description
At Navan, we believe in-person connections fuel innovation. Our Global Talent organization is the backbone of this mission, providing the strategic infrastructure that allows our business to scale.
We are looking for a Senior Technical Recruiter—a strategic talent architect and technical scout who does more than just navigate the engineering market. You will help build the teams defining the future of travel and expense tech, acting as the critical bridge between Navan’s ambitious product roadmap and the global developer community.
What You’ll Do
-
Strategic Advisory & Leadership: Partner closely with senior engineering leaders to design and execute high-impact hiring strategies. Use deep business context and data-driven insights to influence buy-in and drive talent decisions.
-
Full-Cycle Excellence: Manage a complex portfolio of technical roles. Take end-to-end ownership of pipeline health while holding both yourself and hiring managers accountable for process integrity and candidate experience.
-
Operational Innovation: Treat recruiting as an evolving science. Experiment with novel sourcing techniques, pilot new tools, and lead strategic initiatives that empower the broader team to operate with autonomy.
-
Resilient Leadership: Serve as a grounded, optimistic anchor during periods of rapid growth and ambiguity. Navigate complexity with ease, helping the team focus on immediate wins while planning for future scale.
What We’re Looking For
-
Deep Technical Literacy: 8+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, with a proven track record in Backend, Frontend, and Mobile engineering. You can confidently speak the language of distributed systems, JVM performance, microservices vs. monoliths, and evaluate how a candidate's experience with Java, Kotlin, or Spring Boot aligns with our tech stack.
-
An Ownership Mindset: You don’t wait for permission or instructions. You spot operational gaps, propose modern solutions, and execute with urgency.
-
The Startup Edge: Experience thriving in high-growth, fast-paced environments where speed and quality are equally weighted. You excel in "build mode."
-
Analytical Influence: You treat metrics as a storytelling tool. You leverage funnel conversions, technical pass rates, and offer-acceptance data to help Engineering leadership optimize their interviewing loops.
-
Strategic Scouting: Sourcing is your science; closing is your art. You know how to uncover passive, "hidden gem" talent and craft a compelling narrative that makes Navan their top choice.
-
Modern Operational Grit: Advanced power-user of the modern recruiting stack (Greenhouse, Gem, LinkedIn Recruiter) paired with a curiosity for testing and adopting emerging AI-driven sourcing tools.
Navan uses AI-assisted Automated Employment Decision Tool (Metaview) to assist with evaluating resumes against job qualifications for this role. All final decisions are made by human recruiters and hiring managers.
Human oversight: Metaview does not automatically reject candidates or make final hiring decisions. Our recruiters and hiring managers review all outputs and make the final hiring decision regarding every application.
-
Your rights: If you prefer to have your application reviewed without AI assistance, you may request a human evaluation by entering your email here. Your decision to do so will not affect how your candidacy is evaluated.
Please refer to our Candidate Privacy Notice for more information about our processing of personal data, and your rights.
