What It's Like to Work at Navan

What is your role, and what attracted you to Navan? Describe the moment when you knew you’d found the right fit.

I am currently a senior sales development representative manager, overseeing the enterprise west team. Prior to that, I held a plethora of roles at Navan, including marketing development representative, SDR, intern manager and commercial SDR manager. I was attracted to Navan for three major reasons: career mobility, financial autonomy and, most importantly, a high-performance environment. I knew I’d found the right fit when I saw I was surrounded by people who were continuously challenging each other to be the best versions of themselves in order to learn, be successful and drive toward both their own and shared goals.

What’s your favorite part about working at Navan? 

My favorite part about working at Navan is and has always been the people. Regardless of tenure, role, segment or function of the business, there is always someone jumping in to help and develop you. I came into contact with it as a new hire, excitedly meeting new people every single day who carved out time in their day just to introduce themselves. I’ve experienced it throughout two cross-country moves, being embraced from Austin to Salt Lake City to San Francisco by the people at every office. I strive to live it out as my truth now, devoting my time to the development of others.

What advice would you give to job seekers looking to join your growing team?

There are three traits that stand out to me from candidates who ultimately turn into some of the most successful reps I’ve worked alongside or managed directly: curiosity, grit and discipline. Individuals who possess these innate traits and can not only embody them in personal representation but provide real-life examples of how they’ve shown up in their life will undoubtedly crush the interview process and have an incredibly bright future ahead of them at Navan.
