Creative Director

Join Navan, a post-IPO company with real momentum in the travel industry. As the Creative Director, you will have the opportunity to shape the brand and business impact of every creative asset. You will drive the global creative strategy, oversee and scale the in-house design, copy, video, and animation team, and integrate creative into the business. You will also pioneer AI-driven efficiency and act as a strategic peer to Demand Generation, Sales, and regional teams. This role requires 10+ years of creative leadership experience and a background in design-forward travel/hospitality brands or category-norm-breaking B2B SaaS spaces.

• Diriger la stratégie créative globale et assurer la cohérence de la marque sur tous les supports marketing.
• Superviser et développer une équipe interne de conception, de rédaction, de vidéo et d'animation.
• Agir en tant que partenaire stratégique pour traduire des fonctionnalités complexes en campagnes puissantes centrées sur les personas.
• This role requires someone comfortable operating in a dual-audience world, possessing a consumer-grade storytelling sensibility
• You understand that enterprise creative doesn’t have to be boring, and you know how to switch registers to make both corporate buyers (CFOs, procurement) and end-users feel seen across their emotional and rational journeys
• Conviction + Flexibility: You hold a "strong opinion, loosely held". You will fiercely defend the best creative concept, but you possess the humility and speed to pivot instantly when stakeholder needs or business data dictate a new direction
• The "Scrappy-Scale" Paradox: Big-brand pedigree leading multi-channel, integrated campaigns for global brands, paired with an infrastructure-agnostic mindset. You don't need a massive agency bench to scale; your formative years were spent in fast-paced environments like newsrooms, agencies, or social-first shops
• Seniority & Growth Experience: 10+ years of creative leadership with a proven track record of building and mentoring high-performing design/creative teams. You have scaled creative operations through significant growth inflections (e.g., Series C+, rapid headcount expansions, or post-IPO environments)
• Target Industry Background: Ideally, you have run creative inside design-forward travel/hospitality brands (e.g., Airbnb, Away, Expedia), category-norm-breaking B2B SaaS spaces (e.g., Stripe, Figma, Brex), or consumer lifestyle brands with a distinct B2B reach (e.g., Squarespace, Notion)
• Transparent Culture: You thrive in an environment of candor and assertive leadership. You provide direct, objective feedback and expect the same from your peers and team
