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

Reporting to the Head of Corporate Sales (UK/EMEA), the role will be centered around identifying, qualifying, negotiating, and closing new business to exceed sales targets within large, complex and often sophisticated risk and compliance departments for the largest companies across the DACH region. Building a strong network, maximizing MQLs and understanding the strategic market direction to create new opportunities, you will be a hands‑on educator with decision makers and influencers to grow new business revenue across the mature US corporate market. Owning the strategy development and opportunity execution, you will lead negotiations with all prospective customers to identify and develop all potential revenue opportunities within the assigned territory. This person should be a highly-skilled sales specialist with a proven track record of consistently surpassing new business targets. This person will have high levels of curiosity and appetite to learn, a growth mindset, be ambitious, sophisticated in their approach to connecting to senior executives and have experience as a Business Development Manager focusing on expanding new business sales and be regarded as a Subject Matter Expert in the GRC space.

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 private insurance
• Pension plan with 3% employer contribution
• Paid holiday leave
