Senior Intelligence Analyst

About the role

The Senior Intelligence Analyst owns TRM’s blockchain intelligence for a priority coverage area. You turn on-chain tracing, OSINT, and diverse intel signals into finished intelligence across scam/fraud, counter-narcotics, and facilitation and money laundering. You lead industry-leading work against professional money laundering organizations, illicit gambling networks, and related actors.

What is unique here: you build the AI-driven pipelines that turn many signals into attribution, making one of TRM’s highest-priority coverage areas a strength.

The impact you will have

• Deepen TRM’s coverage by owning your area end-to-end and delivering finished, source-cited intelligence products across multiple threat categories.

• Build end-to-end AI capability that processes a wide variety of intel signals and augments target selection, so you generate leads faster and at greater scale.

• Trace funds across chains and through obfuscation, and correlate on-chain activity with OSINT, including Mandarin-language sources, to attribute money laundering organizations, threat actors, and gambling networks.

• Drive attribution and leads that improve delivery in Mission (scam/fraud), Counter Narcotics, Nation States, and Facilitation and Money Laundering.

• Set ambitious, industry-leading targets for your coverage area and raise the bar on tradecraft.

• Build reusable AI pipelines and methods the broader Intelligence team adopts.

What we’re looking for

• 5 to 8+ years in blockchain intelligence, crypto investigations, threat intelligence, or financial-crime investigations.

• Strong OSINT and off-chain investigative tradecraft: you connect on-chain activity to real-world people, companies, and networks. Hands-on blockchain tracing experience is a plus, not a requirement; we train strong investigators on our tooling.

• Domain expertise in professional money laundering organizations, illicit gambling networks, and underground banking.

• Mandarin Chinese fluency is a strong plus.

• Production AI fluency: you build end-to-end pipelines that process diverse intel signals and augment target selection, and you critically evaluate the output.

• A track record of independently running complex investigations and producing clear, source-cited written intelligence.

• US-based preferred, not required.

About the Team

• You will join TRM’s Blockchain Intelligence (Primary Intelligence) organization, a distributed team producing finished intelligence across threat categories.

• The work is intellectually demanding: you keep real investigative proficiency across on-chain and OSINT tradecraft while owning a priority coverage area.

• Mission-first, high-autonomy, execution-oriented culture with rigorous analytical standards.

• AI-native team: analysts build reusable pipelines the whole team adopts.

Team Operating Rhythms

• Distributed, not distant: a US-based analyst collaborating across time zones with regular overlap for syncs.

• Slack-first, async communication; @mention for timely responses.

• Weekly 1:1s and team syncs, plus case and category rhythms.

• Regular cross-category coordination with other Intelligence pods and Global Investigations.

• Required online and collaboration hours: standard business hours in your timezone, with 3-4 hours overlap across US time zones (EST preferred) for internal syncs.

Travel Requirements:

• Schedule: Occasional travel for team engagements.

• Frequency: Low.

Onsite Requirements:

• Schedule: None required; distributed/remote role.
