About The Position

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 Business Development Analyst to join us as we work to shape the way businesses perceive and navigate global risks. Reporting to the Senior Account Leadership team for the Public Sector, this role is vital to the operations of our sales team and, ultimately, the growth of our business. Working collaboratively with our Sales and Marketing teams, your role is to identify potential leads and conduct business intelligence research that will fully equip them for client and prospective client meetings. From creating sales materials, presentations, and proposals that effectively communicate the value of Kharon to assisting with SOP implementation and the development of proposals and RFPs, you will be essential to the success of our team’s existing initiatives, while paving the way for discovering future opportunities. 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.
