As the Threat Intelligence Analyst, Scams Expert, you are the strategic architect of TRM's scam-disruption mission. You understand the ecosystem at depth, you know what data and disruption levers are available, and you define the approaches the All-Source targeters then execute. This is a creative-architect role, not a workflow role. The All-Source investigators run the operational machinery; you are the connective tissue between blockchain intelligence and disruption action - the person who can say "here are the things we can do, and here is how we can do them at scale." The Impact You Will Have * Map the global scam ecosystem at strategic depth - pig butchering syndicates, romance fraud networks, investment scam operations, and the laundering infrastructure they share - and translate that map into TRM's interdiction strategy. * Serve as the liaison between on-chain crypto investigation and disruption action - you are the connective tissue between blockchain intelligence and the All-Source team that converts it into executed targeting. * Define the disruption levers - given the data we hold, tooling available, and the authorities our partners can exercise, design approaches that move operator economics, not just case counts. * Produce snap leads, timely insights, and contributions to TRM's published threat research on the scam landscape - outputs that reach law enforcement agencies, financial institutions, and crypto businesses worldwide. * Function as a force multiplier - fewer of these roles are needed than All-Source investigators because each disruption framework you design enables the team to execute against many targets at scale. * Set scam attribution priorities for TRM's product - work directly with Data and Engineering to ensure the most operationally valuable scam entities make it into the platform first., * TRM's Blockchain Intelligence team combines national-security-grade tradecraft with the analytical depth of blockchain forensics - producing intelligence you will not find anywhere else in the industry. * The Scams Expert sits at the seam between TRM's Blockchain Intelligence organization and the operational Scam Disruption team (All-Source Lead plus a small group of All-Source Investigators); you are the architect, they are the executors. * The team operates with high autonomy, strong bias toward output, and direct access to the customers and law enforcement agencies who rely on our intelligence. Team Operating Rhythms * Weekly sync with the All-Source Lead and team leadership to align strategy with execution. * Async-first via Slack; Notion for documentation; intelligence outputs in TRM's customer-facing channels. * Primary time-zone overlap is US Eastern / Central, with flexibility for international team members. * Surge support during time-sensitive disruption windows and major scam events., We hire and grow against three leadership principles. They're the standards for how we operate, treat each other, and make decisions. * Impact-Oriented Trailblazer: We put customers first and move with speed, focus, and adaptability. We treat every plan like an experiment - test, ship, measure, and iterate quickly. * Master Craftsperson: We care deeply about our craft. We balance speed with high standards, own outcomes end-to-end, and invest in getting better everyday. * Inspiring Colleague: We add clarity and energy, not noise. We bring humility, candor, and a one-team mindset - giving and receiving feedback to make the team stronger., By submitting your application, you are agreeing to allow TRM to process your personal information in accordance with the TRM Privacy Policy.
