About this role
Navan is building an all-in-one travel, corporate card, and expense management platform, and this Commercial Account Executive role offers the chance to sell into established small to mid-market companies from a New York City office. You'll own the full sales cycle—from prospecting and cold-calling through closing deals—with the goal of landing one to two customers per month. The work involves multi-threading across departments to build business cases for C-level decision-makers, then partnering with Account Management post-sale to ensure successful implementation.
The role demands at least two years of closing experience in a full-cycle sales environment, ideally SaaS. You'll need strong outbound prospecting skills, comfort with value-based selling approaches, and a track record of hitting revenue targets. Sales methodology training is a plus. Success here requires being self-directed, coachable, and collaborative—someone who can communicate Navan's value proposition clearly and build lasting client relationships while working closely with Marketing, Sales Development, and Growth teams.
The position is full-time and in-office, with a salary range of $131,250 to $175,000 based on experience, location, and performance. Compensation includes both base and target incentive, with higher earnings for those exceeding targets.
