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.

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. This includes monitoring new sanctions, enforcement actions, and policy activity by regulatory agencies, as well as conducting research on international affairs that affect business risks. Leveraging your sound analytical approach and research techniques, you will identify data typologies, perform detailed quality assurance, validate and reconcile data, and support new product and partnership initiatives. You’ll also play a key role in curating, publishing, and maintaining datasets, and may write original code to collect primary data across various languages.
