## Build a Safer World **TRM Labs** provides AI-powered intelligence solutions that help public and private sector agencies investigate and disrupt crime. TRM's platforms enable investigators to trace illicit activity, build cases, and construct operating pictures of threat networks. Leading agencies and businesses worldwide rely on TRM to make the world safer and more secure. --- ### Threat Intelligence Analyst, Scams #### About The Role TRM's Blockchain Intelligence team is the world's leading source of actionable crypto crime intelligence — and scams are the fastest-growing threat category we track. 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. #### What We're Looking For - **3-5 years** of threat intelligence, fraud intelligence, or crypto crime analysis experience, with demonstrated ownership of a scam-typology beat — published research, attribution coverage you can point to, and intelligence that influenced operational decisions. - **Crypto / blockchain fluency**. - Working proficiency tracing victim funds through multi-hop laundering chains, building entity attribution, and operating in major blockchain analytics platforms at production speed; you have personally mapped a pig-butchering syndicate's infrastructure end-to-end. - **Scam ecosystem expertise** — deep familiarity with at least one major scam category (pig butchering, romance fraud, investment scams, NFT / DeFi fraud); you understand syndicate structure, modus operandi, and the crypto infrastructure these operations rely on. - **Architectural thinking** — you don't just produce intelligence, you design how it moves: you can describe a moment where you said "here is what we can do, and here is how the executors run it," and the executors did. - **Threat intelligence tradecraft** — structured analytic writing, confidence levels, source attribution; you distinguish what is actionable from what is merely interesting. - **AI fluency (required)** — AI tools are core to your research workflow; you can show specific ways AI has accelerated your hypothesis generation, drafting, and pattern analysis. - **Excellent written communication** — you can write a brief that a federal analyst, financial institution compliance officer, or crypto exchange investigations lead can act on immediately. #### About The Team - 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. --- ### Life at TRM We are building a safer world. That promise shows up in how we work every day. TRM moves quickly. We are a high velocity, high ownership team that expects clarity, follow-through, and impact. People who thrive here are energized by hard problems, experimentation, and continuous feedback. If something takes months elsewhere, it will ship here in days. Our work sits at the intersection of AI, national security, and fighting crime. The problems are complex, the stakes are real, and the environment evolves quickly. The pace and intensity of the work reflect the importance of the mission. As a result, the way we operate requires a high level of ownership, adaptability, collaboration, and creative problem-solving. #### At TRM, You Should Expect - Priorities and targets to change quickly as we experiment and iterate - Work that often requires operating with a high degree of ambiguity - A high level of personal ownership and accountability - Close collaboration across teams and functions - Frequent, high-touch communication - Creative problem solving and out-of-the-box thinking - A pace that rewards urgency, adaptability, and outcomes This environment is energizing for people who enjoy building, solving hard problems, and making progress in situations that are not always fully defined. It also requires comfort navigating ambiguity, adjusting course as new information emerges, and maintaining focus and positivity in a fast-moving and intense environment. At the same time, many people find this work deeply rewarding. If you are excited by meaningful problems, motivated by ambitious goals, and energized by working alongside mission-driven colleagues, there is a good chance you will find TRM to be an exceptional place to grow and contribute.

## Build to Protect Civilization TRM is a blockchain intelligence company that’s on a mission to build a safer world for billions of people. We’re a lean, high-impact team tackling some of the world’s most critical challenges, ranging from human trafficking and financial fraud to terrorist financing. We are builders who power governments, financial institutions, and crypto companies when the clock is running and the consequences are real. This is why every TRMer is a bet on our future and has the power to change our trajectory. As the **Head of Capital Markets & Corporate Development**, you will lead TRM’s capital raising efforts, investor engagement, and strategic transactions during a critical phase of the company’s growth. Reporting to the VP of Finance, you will run equity, debt, and secondary processes, build and manage TRM’s investor relationships, and identify and execute M&A opportunities that advance the business. You will represent TRM in high-stakes external conversations and work closely with the executive team and Board on decisions that shape the company’s trajectory. This role is for someone who operates with ownership and judgment — and is ready to take on a fast-paced, high-impact role with significant leadership responsibility at a category-defining company. ### The Impact you will have: - Lead end-to-end execution of equity, debt, and secondary transactions, including structuring, positioning, investor outreach, and negotiations - Build and maintain deep, long-term relationships with current and prospective investors, and establish a consistent investor engagement cadence outside of active fundraising - Define and execute TRM’s M&A strategy, including identifying priority themes and targets and leading acquisitions and other strategic transactions - Partner closely with the executive team and Board on decisions related to capital structure, fundraising, and inorganic growth - Represent TRM in investor meetings, industry conferences, and other high-stakes external settings ### What we're looking for: - 10–15+ years of experience across investment banking, private equity, growth equity, venture capital, strategic finance, or corporate development - Direct experience leading or materially contributing to equity financings, secondary transactions, and M&A at high-growth technology companies, including transactions at meaningful scale - Demonstrated ability to structure and execute high-stakes transactions with sound judgment and accountability - Experience building and maintaining investor relationships and running an investor relations program for a growth-stage or pre-IPO company - Exceptional executive communication skills and presence; comfortable representing the company to sophisticated investors, executives, and Board members - Strong analytical foundation, including financial modeling and deal structuring - Ability to operate independently in fast-paced, ambiguous environments; startup or scale-up experience strongly preferred ### About TRM Speed In This Position At TRM, speed means moving quickly, decisively, and effectively to drive outcomes that matter. In this role, that looks like: 1. **We ramp fast:** Within the first 30 days, develop a deep understanding of TRM’s business, growth trajectory, investor base, and historical financing activity, and be prepared to represent the company confidently and accurately in investor conversations. 2. **We lead from day one:** Take ownership of active and near-term capital markets priorities early, including engaging with existing investors, responding to inbound interest, and shaping the company’s capital strategy alongside the VP of Finance and executive team. 3. **We accelerate outcomes:** Enable TRM to initiate and execute capital markets activity at any point by proactively building investor relationships and maintaining the company’s ability to move decisively. ### Life at TRM We build to protect civilization. That promise shows up in how we work every day. TRM runs fast. Really fast. We’re a high-velocity team that expects ownership, clarity, and follow-through.
