À propos de ce poste Manager, Business Operations, Specialty Travel & Events chez Navan

Navan · Sur site · London, UK

About the Role

The Business Operations team solves the Specialty Travel & Events team's most critical, emergent challenges across business, product, and operations. We are looking for a high-impact individual contributor to spearhead initiatives that drive business growth, process optimization, and system stability. You will also own the end-to-end management of critical enterprise tools.

Because BizOps operates without direct line-management authority, leadership here is built on relational equity, integrated thinking, and data-backed execution. You will tackle unstructured, ambiguous problems like a creative science experiment—verifying root-cause data, optimizing workflows, and ensuring structural readiness before rolling out core updates.

 

What You Will Do

  • Scoping & Scaffolding: Lead deep project scoping early to uncover root causes, document risks, and lock down parameters before execution to prevent scope creep.
  • Global Program Management: Drive multi-phased technical initiatives across international regions, establishing working groups and cross-functional alignment across teams.
  • Workflow Optimization & Automation: Audit legacy operational processes, map current vs. ideal state workflows, and author clear documentation so systems run smoothly post-launch.
  • Data Strategy & Storytelling: Query raw business data (via SQL, BI tools, and data warehouses) to diagnose operational bottlenecks, rigorously verify data integrity, and build compelling visual narratives for leadership.
  • Cross-Functional Influence: Build trusted partnerships across teams, navigating blockages with empathy to drive alignment across competing priorities without direct authority.
  • Iterative Systems Innovation: Run controlled experiments against baselines to build repeatable execution patterns, maintaining radical transparency around both wins and operational failures.

 

What We’re Looking For

  • Experience: 5+ years in business operations, program management, or technical project management within a fast-paced tech company.
  • Analytical & Technical Rigor: High data literacy with hands-on experience interrogating data sets, tracking data lineage, and utilizing BI tools or modern data warehouses (e.g., Snowflake, Tableau).
  • BizOps Mindset: A proactive problem-solver who defaults to clear ownership, definitive timelines, and thorough documentation over passive observation.
  • Matrix Diplomat: Proven ability to spot cross-functional friction, build cross-team trust, and unblock operational drag.
  • Education: BA/BS degree or equivalent practical experience
  • Proven track record of driving change management alongside complex technical implementations would be a bonus. 
  • Ideally a background in Product Operations or Business Systems in high-growth environments.

ABOUT TRIPACTIONS

TripActions is the fastest-growing corporate travel platform disrupting a $1.5T industry and shaping the future of business travel.

TripActions is a story of inspiration born of frustration. Road warriors and co-founders Ariel Cohen and Ilan Twig believed that companies deserved a travel solution that takes the pain out of work trips –– so that their travelers can focus on being productive and meeting in-person, not wasting valuable time booking travel. So in 2015, they created TripActions. Since then, we’ve been a mission to power the face-to-face, in-person connections that move people, ideas and businesses forward.

TripActions’ platform offers a vast selection of inventory that travelers can choose from, a personalized, intuitive user interface driven by machine learning, and 24/7 proactive real human, customer support. Companies enjoy complete travel program visibility, over 30% cost savings on average and seamless integrations with their HR and expense systems.

Globally, TripActions has grown to over 600 employees across 7 offices in 4 countries. We support over 1,500 customers, with innovative brands like Lyft, Dropbox, Sara Lee Frozen Bakery, Allbirds, Robinhood and the ACLU relying on TripActions for their business travel needs. As one of Silicon Valley’s newest “unicorns”, TripActions has a valuation north of $1B and a total of $232M in funding. We’ve recently received $154M in our Series C funding round –– led by new investor Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from repeat investors Lightspeed Venture Partners, Zeev Ventures and SGVC.

TripActions was recently recognized as one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies for 2019, #12 in LinkedIn’s Top Startups 2018 and #3 in the U.S. for Happiest Employees by Comparably.

We’re redefining what it means to travel for work. Come help us build the future of business travel.
