It will translate strategy into execution, coordinate the portfolio of transformation and business-critical workstreams, and provide the operating rhythm, insight, and accountability required to scale Premier globally.
What You’ll Do
- Act as the central strategy and operations partner to the SVP Navan Premier, helping set priorities and maintain focus on the highest-impact work.
- Build and run the Premier operating rhythm, including leadership meetings, strategic planning, business reviews, performance reporting, decision logs, and follow-up.
- Coordinate major Premier workstreams, including core-market and Emerging Markets migration, Product and Engineering enhancements, Launch, transformation programme management, service and operating model changes, pricing, and Premier go-to-market.
- Coordinate project and programme managers, including the Emerging Markets Migration & Transformation Manager and the Director of Transformation Program Management, aligning plans, dependencies, risks, and executive decisions.
- Translate the Premier strategy into annual and quarterly priorities, measurable outcomes, resource implications, and execution plans.
- Develop reporting that combines financial, client, operational, people, migration, and product indicators into a clear view of performance and risk.
- Prepare concise executive materials, recommendations, and updates for the Premier leadership team and relevant Navan executives.
- Identify bottlenecks and gaps in ownership, bring the right people together, and drive issues to resolution.
- Support business planning, workforce planning, investment cases, and prioritisation decisions with structured analysis.
- Help establish scalable processes and governance without weakening the high-touch client experience that defines Premier.
