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.

Every enterprise is putting AI to work on risk and compliance. But when a regulator or board asks how the AI reached an answer, most teams can't show it. Sayari can. Our world model maps 10.6B+ records from government sources around the world. Our agentic AI works through them like an expert analyst, shows its work, and traces every finding back to its source.

We are hiring a Strategic Account Executive to own large, complex sales into Fortune 2000 commercial and financial services accounts across North America. This is an open seat, and we want someone who can start building pipeline now. You will sell to Chief Compliance Officers, heads of financial crime, supply chain and trade risk leaders, and the technology and AI teams now involved in every one of those buying decisions.

You are joining an established scale-up with real traction. Six of the ten largest global banks rely on Sayari, and you will help shape how we take trustworthy AI to the enterprise.
