Navan is a leading travel and expense management company, revolutionizing the business and personal travel experience with an integrated, user-friendly platform. We are committed to leveraging cutting-edge technology to make travel easier, more efficient, and personalized.

We're looking for a sharp, user-obsessed Senior Product Manager to spearhead our comprehensive Flights Strategy. Your mission is to refine our intelligent air marketplace to deliver the controls customers require to effectively manage their air programs, while expanding our core capabilities to seamlessly match supply with demand. You will focus on the entire shop, book, and service lifecycle to solidify our pricing leadership, shift market share, and drive unparalleled platform reliability.

What You’ll Do:

  • Own the end-to-end user journey for flights, transitioning from a solely post-booking focus to a seamless, holistic experience across shopping, booking, and servicing.
  • Aggressively expand sourcing capabilities and leverage AI-driven routing to unlock the most competitive global inventory, ensuring our customers secure the best value.
  • Partner closely with engineering, operations, design, data, and customer support to purposefully engineer a resilient architecture that delivers top-tier performance and full parity across all clients.
  • Strategically refine our marketplace controls and design dynamic new placements across the user journey to empower customers and actively guide traveler demand.
  • Ruthlessly optimize latency and implement standardized instrumentation to power end-to-end automation and intelligent marketplace features at scale.
  • Design and launch intuitive UX for complex scenarios—including airline-driven changes, fare rules, and partial cancellations—while seamlessly maintaining compliance with airline rules.
  • Define and track success metrics aligned with strategic pillars (e.g., pricing competitiveness, platform reliability, market share shifts, and customer satisfaction).
  • Stay ahead of airline policy changes, NDC expansion, and evolving customer expectations.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Experience: 6+ years of experience as a Product Manager in the travel technology space.
  • Analytical Skills: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to leverage data to make informed product decisions.
  • Communication: Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to effectively work with diverse teams and external partners.
  • Problem solving: Loves to solve complex, fragmented problems.
  • Customer Focus: Passion for delivering exceptional user experiences and a customer-first mindset.
  • Technical Acumen: Ability to understand and communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.

The posted pay range represents the anticipated low and high end of the compensation for this position and is subject to change based on business need. To determine a successful candidate’s starting pay, we carefully consider a variety of factors, including primary work location, an evaluation of the candidate’s skills and experience, market demands, and internal parity.
For roles with on-target-earnings (OTE), the pay range includes both base salary and target incentive compensation. Target incentive compensation for some roles may include a ramping draw period. Compensation is higher for those who exceed targets. Candidates may receive more information from the recruiter.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
