About this Account Executive, Department of War role at Sayari
About Sayari:
Sayari is the judgment infrastructure for trustworthy AI in economic security and commercial risk. The Sayari Commercial World Model resolves 11.7B+ primary-source records from 250+ jurisdictions forming the ground truth of global commerce. A Judgment Ontology, encoding over a decade of investigative tradecraft, and Superconductor, an agentic orchestration platform, deliver AI that reasons like an expert analyst, shows its work, and traces every finding to its source. Trusted by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, HM Revenue & Customs, and Fortune 500 enterprises, Sayari is used by thousands of professionals across 35+ countries to secure supply chains and dismantle illicit networks. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., with offices in London, Singapore, Tokyo, and Tel Aviv.
WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS
- You serve those who serve. Every deal you close puts commercial intelligence in the hands of the people who defend the nation and its allies.
- You can see your impact. 72% of the risk Sayari finds does not appear on any global watchlist. You will get that gap in front of the units that act on it.
- You sell agentic AI that does real work. Superconductor runs AI agents that trace ownership, trade, and financial networks the way an expert analyst would. Analysts get findings they can defend in hours, not weeks.
- Sayari is proven in government. Government customers make up half of our business. They span defense, intelligence, law enforcement, and regulatory agencies in the U.S. and allied nations. Sayari is backed by In-Q-Tel.
- The findings hold up. Every finding traces back to a primary record, so commanders can act on it and analysts can defend it through the full intelligence cycle.
POSITION DESCRIPTION
This quota-carrying role leads Sayari’s growth across the Department of War, starting with the Combatant Commands and SOCOM.

You bring Department of War or Intelligence Community experience, an active Top Secret clearance, and a working knowledge of the intelligence cycle and counter threat finance. You are comfortable selling agentic AI to mission owners who need to trust it before they use it. You will join a Public Sector team that covers all of government for North America, and you will be expected to reach full ramp within 90 days.
