Director of Financial Communications
Navan
Navan is seeking a Director of Finance Communications to own and elevate our financial and corporate narrative in the public sphere. This is a critical, high-visibility role for a strategic storyteller and proactive media strategist who thrives on shaping market perception. Reporting to the Head of Communications, you will serve as the strategic communications partner to our Finance and Investor Relations teams.
While financial figures are a part of the story, we want you to go beyond the numbers, translating our financial performance, business strategy, and market position into compelling narratives that resonate with investors, analysts, and the world’s most influential financial journalists / influencers. We are not looking for someone to regurgitate corporate jargon; we are looking for a media hound who can hunt for, pitch, and land the "big whale" stories that define our company's trajectory and build long-term investor confidence.
This is an opportunity to join a global company and grow with a communications and social team to tell the Navan story.
What You’ll Do
- Assist in developing and executing strategic PR campaigns that amplify Navan’s corporate story.
- Cultivate relationships with key reporters, and media influencers in the business, tech, and travel sectors.
- Drive proactive financial media strategy and lead the end-to-end communications strategy for quarterly earnings. Develop and execute an "always-on" media relations program to secure top-tier coverage outside of the earnings cycle.
- Distill complex financial results, corporate finance topics, and industry trends into clear, concise, and powerful messaging for both internal and external audiences.
- Cultivate and maintain deep relationships with key financial journalists, editors, broadcast producers, and influencers at traditional outlets and new media platforms.
- Act as a trusted counselor to the CFO, Head of Investor Relations on all financial communications matters, providing guidance on messaging, disclosure, and media engagement strategy.
- Partner closely with Communications, Marketing, and Internal Communications to ensure a consistent and integrated narrative across all company touchpoints.
- Track and analyze media coverage and sentiment, providing regular reports to leadership on the impact of our financial communications program.
What We’re Looking For:
- 10-12 years of experience in corporate communications, financial PR, or investor relations, with deep, hands-on experience leading the quarterly earnings communications process for a publicly traded company.
- A demonstrated track record of landing high-impact, narrative-driving stories in top-tier global business and financial press. You aren't afraid to pick up the phone, get a coffee, make it happen.
- The ability to confidently read and interpret financial statements (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K), and discuss corporate finance topics with authority and credibility.
- Proven experience providing direct strategic counsel to CEOs, CFOs, and other senior executives in high-stakes situations. You inspire confidence and provide clear, actionable guidance.
- Superb writing, editing, and messaging skills, with the ability to craft compelling narratives from dense financial information.
- A calm, resilient, and decisive leader who thrives in a fast-paced environment and can expertly manage tight deadlines and complex, sensitive information.
- You are a self-starter who is constantly hunting for opportunities and doesn't wait for the story to come to you.
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.
