It offers the freedom of being an entrepreneur within a business, alongside extensive and highly talented resources, including your own Forward Deployed Engineer to convert opportunities into real-world commercial value. You would be in the driving seat of a new product initiative in an industry that could hardly be more relevant, with a front-row role in the changes shaping global markets right now.</p> <p>We are hiring a Strategic Account Director, based in New York, to bring deep subject matter expertise in our financial institutions vertical, joining an already strong sales team to go deeper into the relationships, the domain depth, and the agentic use cases this vertical needs next. You will bring the network and the credibility that only years inside this sector can build and use it to accelerate and grow what we are already doing here.</p> <p>You won’t be the first rep at Sayari, but you will be one of the first people anywhere selling autonomous investigation and risk agents into this vertical, on a foundation of data other vendors in our space just don’t have. That’s the pitch you’ll be making, and it’s a true one.</p> <p>This is a senior, relationship-led seat focused on true enterprise outcomes: multiyear agreements of $2M+, expanding agentic AI adoption into every adjacent buying center inside your accounts. Financial institutions run on relationships that take years to earn, and we are hiring people who already have them and can use them to go deeper into a vertical we are already investing in, not to start one from nothing.</p> <p>This seat owns a high-value U.S. commercial enterprise book with a dual mandate: expand what’s already there, and open new tier-1 logos using a network you already have. It is not a renewal seat, nor a customer-success seat with a senior title bolted on.</p> <h2><strong>WHAT YOU WILL DRIVE</strong></h2> <ul> <li><strong>Own the Full Cycle for Your Accounts:</strong> Win new business and drive revenue within financial services, from your first conversation with a target account through a signed multiyear agreement. Self-generate 60%+ of your pipeline through your network, targeted outreach, and practitioner communities, not inbound leads.</li> <li><strong>Deepen the Playbook:</strong> Bring domain-specific expertise that sharpens how we sell agentic AI into this vertical. Refine the sales methodology, positioning, and use-case narrative based on what you know works with this exact buyer, and share that expertise with the wider team.</li> <li><strong>Vertical Expansion:</strong> Grow Sayari’s footprint within financial services and the target account tier for this vertical, shifting accounts from a single agentic use case to enterprise-wide deployment across the Commercial World Model and our AI agents.</li> <li><strong>Executive and Functional Mapping:</strong> Build deep, trusted relationships across every function that touches risk in this vertical, including compliance and legal leadership, risk operations, investigations teams, procurement, and IT. Think Chief Risk Officers, Chief Compliance Officers, BSA/AML Officers, Heads of Supply Chain, and General Counsel inside U.S. financial institutions.</li> <li><strong>Prove the Agent, Then Scale It:</strong> Strategically partner with Customer Success and Solutions Engineering to get our agentic workflows into production with top-tier customers first, using and promoting early wins as reference points to unlock net-new budget across the account.</li> <li><strong>Bring a Dedicated Team to Every Deal:</strong> Work alongside forward-deployed engineers and analysts dedicated to your accounts, embedding directly with risk, compliance, supply chain, and AI infrastructure teams to prove out real use cases and make sure what you sell actually gets deployed and adopted, using those wins to unlock net-new budget elsewhere in the account.</li> <li><strong>Inform the Roadmap:</strong> You are on the front line of how this vertical reacts to autonomous AI. Bring that market intelligence back to Product and Engineering so the roadmap reflects what the sector is demanding now and in the future.</li> <li><strong>Commercial Rigor:</strong> Maintain a predictable pipeline backed by structured sales methodology such as MEDDPICC, Challenger, or Mil
