Strategic Account Manager

Tellius is a fast-growing AI analytics company headquartered in Reston, Virginia. We are transforming how enterprises interact with their data — moving beyond dashboards and static reports to an always-on, agentic intelligence platform that investigates, reasons, and delivers finished answers autonomously.

Our platform, powered by Kaiya — Tellius's AI agent — connects to all your enterprise data, automatically investigates what changed and why, and delivers board-ready briefings, memos, and presentations before you even ask. We serve some of the world's most innovative companies, including Novo Nordisk, PepsiCo, Regeneron, AbbVie, and Biogen — helping their teams go from question to decision in minutes, not days.

We are recognized as a Visionary in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Analytics & Business Intelligence Platforms, and we're just getting started. Our team is built for people who thrive on solving hard problems, moving fast, and building things that matter at enterprise scale.
