About The Position

Kharon is seeking a full-time, Denver-based Financial Analyst. This role requires in-office attendance 4 days per week. Kharon is a highly disruptive and incredibly innovative organization that navigates risk at the intersection of global security threats + international commerce. 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 Financial Analyst to join us as we work to shape the way businesses perceive and navigate global risks. Reporting to the FP&A Manager, you will play a critical support role in enabling Kharon’s financial strategy and operational efficiency as we scale. You'll be responsible for developing and maintaining financial models, forecasting tools, and reporting frameworks that provide leadership with the insights needed for informed decision-making. Your analysis will support identifying trends, assessing performance, and driving operational improvements, serving as a key resource for aligning financial goals with our long-term vision. Beyond delivering data-driven insights, you'll work collaboratively across teams to provide financial clarity, ensure alignment on priorities, and act as a trusted resource for understanding the financial implications of business decisions. To excel in this role ( pun intended ), you should have a minimum of 2 years of experience in financial analysis, ideally in FP&A, investment banking/PE, or management consulting. Proficiency in financial modeling, advanced Excel skills, and a strong understanding of financial reporting and GAAP are essential. While an MBA or relevant certifications are a plus, we place the highest value on exceptional communication, problem-solving abilities, and the capacity to prioritize effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. Your ability to translate complex financial data into clear insights will play a crucial role in supporting leadership and empowering teams across the organization to make confident, informed decisions. 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.
