About The Position

The Lead All Source Investigator owns the all-source targeting function inside the Scam Disruption team. This role involves setting the tradecraft bar, building the operating model, mentoring a team of investigators, and personally working the highest-value targets. The ideal candidate is a senior operator with prior experience in this area, capable of establishing the foundation for effective investigator performance from day one.

Requirements

8+ years of all-source investigative or targeting experience — including time as a senior 1811 (e.g., FBI, HSI, IRS-CI, Secret Service), an Intelligence Community targeting officer, or a private-sector senior investigative lead working complex transnational targeting
Demonstrated player-coach experience — you have led a team of investigators or targeters before, built workflows others followed, and can point to people you have grown
Deep legal process expertise — you have built or run a legal-process program at scale and have the operational tradecraft to convert returns into targets
Federal law-enforcement network — you have working relationships with cyber/crypto units across federal agencies and know how to package intelligence so it actually gets used
Senior tactical thinking — you have designed the methodology, not just executed it; you can describe an operation where you reframed the problem (e.g., "stop targeting victims, target controllers") and changed team-level outcomes
Strong written communication and executive presence — comfortable briefing federal partners, TRM leadership, and customer executives on disruption strategy and case outcomes
AI fluency (required) — you have used AI to scale your team's work, not just your own; you can speak to specific workflows where AI has unlocked headcount-level productivity
This position requires U.S. Citizenship
Must be located in the United States

Nice To Haves

Crypto experience is preferred but not required — fluency in on-chain tradecraft is welcome; you must be willing and able to ramp on the crypto side quickly, working alongside our Threat Intel Scams Expert

Responsibilities

Own the all-source targeting function for the Scam Disruption team — define the tradecraft, set the standards, and ensure every target package leaving the team is defensible, prioritized, and actionable
Build and scale the team's operating model — design how legal process, data exploitation, and targeting flow end-to-end, and close the loop with engineering on tooling integration
Mentor and direct a team of All-Source Investigators — set collection priorities, review work product, raise the bar on output quality, and create the player-coach culture that lets the team scale without losing rigor
Personally work the most complex investigations — multi-jurisdiction compound targeting, controller-level attribution, and the cases no one else on the team can close
Serve as the senior law-enforcement-facing interface — coordinate with federal partners on perishable leads, prosecutorial referrals, and joint disruption operations
Partner with the Threat Intelligence Analyst (Scams Expert) as the operational counterpart — turn their strategic disruption frameworks into executed targeting campaigns the team runs at scale
