Lead, All-Source Investigations

TRM Labs•Washington, DC

3d•$120,000 - $170,000•Hybrid

About The Position

The Scam Disruption team is TRM's tip of the spear against pig butchering syndicates, romance fraud networks, and investment scam operations that steal billions from victims each year. As an All-Source Intelligence Analyst, you’ll lead targeting-driven investigative work: taking legal process to the ground, following the data wherever it leads, and delivering actionable intelligence to law enforcement partners. You will operate the "intelligence flywheel" daily — fusing on-chain and off-chain data to build operational pictures that help dismantle scam operations.

Requirements

5-8+ years of all-source investigative or targeting experience — federal law enforcement (former 1811s — e.g., FBI, HSI, IRS-CI, Secret Service), Intelligence Community all-source analysis, or mission-aligned private sector equivalent
Legal process expertise — you have personally drafted and worked returns from US legal process and know how to operationalize the data
Creative tactical thinking — demonstrated ability to pivot from a single point to a network view, identifying operators behind operations
Link and pattern analysis fluency — ability to correlate disparate data sources to generate defensible target packages
Strong written communication — skilled at writing memos, attribution write-ups, and federal-style leads that are actionable
AI fluency (required) — you use AI tools in your workflow, synthesizing returns, drafting outputs, and accelerating analysis, with examples of how AI has impacted your work
US Citizenship required
Active TS/SCI clearance required
Must be located in the Washington, D.C./MD/VA area (periodic in-office collaboration and travel may be required)

Nice To Haves

Crypto experience is a plus, not a requirement — we teach on-chain tradecraft; we cannot teach the targeter's instinct

Responsibilities

Run legal process end-to-end against scam infrastructure and convert returns into targeting-ready intelligence for TRM’s teams and law enforcement partners
Trace scam compounds geographically and operationally — combining on-chain attribution with off-chain telemetry, OSINT, and commercially available data to identify operators, controllers, and movement patterns
Work the intelligence flywheel operationally — processing returns at high volume and feeding victim and operator data into TRM's intelligence and product pipelines
Find the seams — pivot from a single victim into uncovering the operation and multiplying leads
Partner with the Threat Intelligence Analyst (Scams Expert) and the All-Source Lead to translate disruption strategy into targeting packages that influence federal investigations
