Kharon is a highly disruptive and incredibly innovative organization that navigates risk at the intersection of global security threats + international commerce.

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 Business Development Associate to join us as we work to shape the way businesses perceive and navigate global risks. 

We are opening up an internship opportunity for college students with an interest or emphasis in business, international relations, economics, or political science. As an intern at Kharon, you will not only get hands on experience that can be applied in your future positions and throughout your career, but you’ll leave with connections to and references from high-ranking officials who formerly operated within the Department of Treasury. Ideal for college sophomores or juniors, but open to all levels, you’ll operate remotely and work directly with the Chief Client Officer. 

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.  

Interested? We do our best to respond to each application we receive. Please expect that it could take us up to two weeks to respond. Be on the lookout for an email from apply@kharon.com!
