Careers at SARI Global
We are a small, specialist team of analysts, advisors, and technologists working at the intersection of intelligence, humanitarian operations, and emerging technology. If you are driven by purpose and thrive in complex environments, we want to hear from you.
Work that matters, in places that need it most
SARI operates in some of the world's most challenging environments — Sudan, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen, Nigeria, and beyond. Our work directly supports the safety of humanitarian workers, informs operational decisions that affect vulnerable populations, and builds the intelligence capacity of organisations doing critical work.
We are a lean, expert team. Every person contributes meaningfully from day one. There is no room for passengers — but enormous opportunity for those who are curious, rigorous, and committed.
What We Stand For
The principles that guide how we work, what we produce, and how we engage with the contexts we operate in.
Analytical Rigour
We triangulate. We verify. We do not publish what we cannot substantiate. Accuracy is not optional in the environments we work in.
Contextual Humility
We know what we do not know. We embed local expertise, listen to communities, and resist the temptation to impose external frameworks on complex realities.
Operational Relevance
Intelligence that cannot be acted upon is noise. Everything we produce is designed to translate directly into better decisions on the ground.
Partnership First
We work with our clients, not for them. Security and risk management is most effective when integrated into programme design — not bolted on.
Technological Innovation
We build tools that others have not built. STRAT-i represents our belief that intelligence platforms for fragile contexts should be designed specifically for those contexts.
Do No Harm
We operate with a duty of care to the populations our work touches. Conflict sensitivity, data protection, and source safety are non-negotiable.
