What does that mean? Great question.


Operating at the nexus of global security, Kharon is on a mission to revolutionize the current landscape. We take really complex data as it relates to global security and empower our clients to not only understand the risk associated with their potential business relationships but to operationalize that data so that they can make the best and most informed decisions possible. From financial crimes and sanctions to export controls and threat identifications, our tools optimize protection against the types of risks that could otherwise be incredibly dangerous and excessively costly to any business. Serving many of today’s leading global financial and multinational institutions, Kharon products are the most powerful in the space with a precision and depth that is absolutely unparalleled. 


When you look at any major global crisis event, we’re providing intelligence that’s at the heart of those circumstances. We connect the dots in a way that’s meaningful. Now, we’re experiencing unprecedented growth. As the world continues to evolve in complexity, so too does the demand for our products. Given the significance of our work and the increasing global reliance on our insights, we are looking for a Research Analyst to join us as we work to shape the way businesses perceive and navigate global risks. 


Reporting to the Directors of Research with dotted-line leadership from the EVP of Research, the core of this position is dedicated to conducting open-source research on a variety of foreign affairs and national security issues. More specifically, you will be researching, analyzing, and interpreting data as it relates to sanctions, export controls, and criminal/illicit networks. You will be responsible for the diligent pursuit of data as it relates to ever-evolving market demand and our client inquiries. Working collaboratively with the Kharon Research team, you will contribute to the development of new datasets and update existing ones, identifying and utilizing new sources and developing subject matter expertise on the various strategic topics. Leveraging your sound analytical approach and research techniques, you will identify data typologies and conduct risk-relevant research that contributes to the health of our data intelligence and overall platform.


To the right person, this will be the perfect kind of challenge. Our mission is compelling, our product is powerful and we’re growing at a rate that makes us unstoppable. If you’re looking to be surrounded by people who will inspire you to think and challenge you to grow then look no further. Our team is made up of some of the most visionary and uncompromising individuals you will ever encounter. We don’t take ourselves seriously but we’re serious about the work we do and there is absolutely no slowing us down.  


To keep that momentum going, we do our very best to make sure that each and every team member is completely taken care of. We’re nothing without our people and we strive to offer a package that reflects that. As a Kharon team member, you can expect:

  • Fully sponsored medical, dental, and vision 

  • FSA program for both medical and dependent care

  • 401k with matching and immediate vesting + ROTH IRA 

  • Paid time off + 11 paid holidays 

  • Flexible hybrid schedules

  • Profit sharing + stock

Kharon is committed to cultivating a workplace that is free from harassment and discrimination for everyone. This commitment extends to individuals of all ages, disabilities, ethnicities, gender identities or expressions, nationalities, neurotypes, appearances, political affiliations, professional backgrounds, races, religions, and sexual identities or orientations.
