What you'll do

  • Produce finished intelligence on transnational criminal organisations, vendors, facilitators and laundering pathways, including actor profiles, lead packages and attribution assessments suitable for investigative, executive and partner audiences.
  • Lead complex end-to-end blockchain investigations from initial seed indicators, such as addresses, transactions, exchange exposure and infrastructure leads, through to full attribution.
  • Trace illicit proceeds across multiple blockchains, bridges, mixers, peel chains and nested services, identifying controllers, counterparties and cash-out points, including OTC desks, ATM networks and cash-to-crypto services.
  • Correlate on-chain activity with OSINT, closed-source intelligence and off-chain identity or infrastructure signals to build a complete picture of how transnational criminal organisations operate and move value.
  • Own investigative work-streams from discovery through validation and written production, drafting intelligence that is source-cited, auditable and operationally useful.
  • Build and maintain strong working relationships with law enforcement partners, so that our intelligence reflects real investigative tradecraft and gets used.
  • Help strengthen TRM's transnational criminal organisations coverage by contributing new attributions, refining investigative methodology and improving repeatable workflows.
  • Support briefings, partner engagements and capability-building sessions where tracing and attribution tradecraft must be explained clearly and credibly.
  • Mentor peers, refine tradecraft and strengthen repeatable workflows.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years in blockchain intelligence, crypto investigations, financial-crime or narcotics investigations, threat intelligence, or a comparable senior analytical role.
  • Deep hands-on experience tracing funds across multiple blockchains and through laundering or obfuscation techniques such as mixers, chain-hopping, bridges, peel chains and layered cash-out behavior.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently run complex investigations and synthesize findings into clear written intelligence products, including assessments, lead packages, fund-flow analysis and attribution reporting.
  • Strong communication, especially the ability to turn technically complex findings into understandable, actionable intelligence for government and private-sector audiences.
  • Sound judgment and curiosity, and the ability to operate in a fast-moving environment where outputs must still stand up to scrutiny.
  • Experience using AI tools and large language models to accelerate research and augment analytical workflows, with the ability to critically evaluate AI-generated outputs for accuracy and relevance.
  • Working hours should overlap with both UK and US business hours.

Nice to have

  • Experience in government, national security, law enforcement, or a mature private-sector investigations or threat intelligence program.
  • Familiarity with darknet markets, drug-trafficking networks, OTC and ATM laundering.
  • Familiarity with OSINT and with combining blockchain activity with off-chain signals and adversary behavior.
  • Comfort with modern investigative tooling, including AI and structured data environments such as TRM, Maltego, Palantir or similar platforms.
