As the Sr Manager of Growth Account Management for EMEA, you will lead and manage a high-performing team that includes Account Managers (AMs), Associate Account Managers (AMAs), and the Excellence Desk across Berlin, London, Barcelona and Paris. Your team is at the forefront of driving revenue growth through customer launches, upsells, and renewals, ensuring our clients maximize the value from the Navan platform.

You will oversee the Excellence Desk, a dedicated service team that supports customer administrators without an assigned Account Manager, handling their day-to-day inquiries and providing exceptional service. In addition, you will lead the AMAs, who support our upper-market customers with incoming customer management tasks and are being groomed to become future Account Managers. You will also manage a group of Account Managers focused on revenue-driving tasks such as launches and upsells.

This is a highly visible, cross-functional role that partners closely with Sales, Product, Finance, Support, and Operations teams, extending up to our C-Suite. Your leadership will be pivotal in delighting our clients, exceeding performance goals, and driving significant revenue for Navan.

You will develop and coach your team to understand customer needs and goals, efficiently implement and onboard new customers, drive adoption of Navan's travel and expense products, identify expansion opportunities, and ensure customer retention through proactive relationship management.

Your overall success will be measured by your ability to build and lead an efficient, highly productive team that effectively manages a large portfolio of clients with limited resources. This entails maximizing revenue per Account Manager, maintaining high customer adoption rates despite a lean team, implementing operational efficiencies to reduce costs and improve service delivery, driving scalable process improvements, achieving high Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) scores, meeting or exceeding Service Level Agreement (SLA) targets for the Excellence Desk, and effectively leveraging automation and tools to handle customer inquiries efficiently.
