At Navan, our mission is to power the in-person connections that move people, ideas, and businesses forward. Trust is the foundation of that mission. As a Trust Analyst, Security & Privacy, you will be the bridge between our cutting-edge security practices and our global customers. You will play a pivotal role in the sales cycle by providing transparency into our security and privacy posture, ensuring that our customers feel confident in how we protect their data.

You will be a subject matter expert on Navan’s "Trust Center," leveraging AI-driven tools to streamline security reviews and partnering closely with our Privacy and Sales teams to accelerate deal velocity while maintaining the highest standards of compliance.

What You’ll Do

• Customer Security Advocacy: Act as the primary point of contact for responding to complex security and privacy questionnaires from prospective and existing clients.
• Contractual Excellence: Review and redline security and privacy exhibits within customer contracts, ensuring Navan’s commitments align with our internal controls and global regulations (GDPR, CCPA, etc.).
• Trust Center Management: Own and optimize our trust.navan.com portal (hosted on SafeBase). You will ensure all security documentation, certifications (SOC2, ISO), and sub-processor lists are evergreen.
• AI-Driven Efficiency: Utilize and train AI questionnaire assistance tools to automate repetitive inquiries, allowing the team to focus on high-impact strategic reviews.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with the Privacy and Legal teams to stay ahead of regulatory changes and provide unified responses to sensitive data-handling inquiries.
• Sales Enablement: Empower the Sales and Account Management teams by updating internal knowledge bases and the public-facing website with the latest security and trust information.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience: 2–4 years of experience in Security Operations, IT Audit, Customer Trust, or a related GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) role, preferably within a SaaS environment.
• Technical Familiarity: Understanding of security frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST) and privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA).
• Tooling Expertise: Experience with Trust Center platforms (SafeBase or similar) and AI-assisted questionnaire tools is a major plus.
• Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills. You can translate "security-speak" into clear, professional language for clients.
