Threat Intelligence Analyst, Scams

TRM Labs • Washington DC, DC

1d • Remote

About The Position

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. As a Threat Intelligence Analyst specializing in scams, you will own TRM's intelligence production on pig butchering syndicates, romance fraud networks, and investment scam operations: tracing their infrastructure, uncovering their actors, and delivering leads and insights that directly influence how law enforcement and financial institutions fight back.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in threat intelligence, fraud investigation, or crypto crime analysis, with demonstrated knowledge of scam ecosystems (pig butchering, romance fraud, investment fraud, or equivalent)
• Working proficiency in blockchain analysis — you can trace funds, identify clusters, and use tools like TRM Investigator or Chainalysis Reactor to follow laundering chains and build attribution chains
• A track record of producing actionable intelligence outputs: you have written leads, reports, or briefs that reached real operational consumers and influenced investigative or business decisions
• Strong AI fluency — you use Claude, Perplexity, or equivalent tools as core parts of your research workflow; you can articulate specific ways AI has accelerated your work
• Excellent written communication: you can write a BLUF-style intelligence report that a financial investigator, law enforcement analyst, or compliance officer can act on immediately
• A self-starter mindset: at L4, you are expected to generate your own collection priorities, pursue investigative threads independently, and deliver substantive output without being told exactly what to look for

Responsibilities

• Map the infrastructure behind global scam syndicates — tracing victim funds through complex laundering chains and building attribution that TRM's customers and law enforcement partners rely on to take action against some of the most prolific criminal networks operating today
• Produce Snap Leads, Timely Insights, and contribute to published reports reaching law enforcement agencies, financial institutions, and crypto businesses worldwide, directly influencing investigations and shaping industry understanding of the scam threat landscape
• Use AI tools — including Claude, Perplexity, and AI-assisted OSINT workflows — as core components of your research process to accelerate hypothesis generation, pattern recognition, and intelligence drafting at a pace manual methods cannot match
• Monitor global scam channels, forums, and social media platforms to surface proactive collection not visible through on-chain analysis alone, expanding TRM's proprietary attribution database with intelligence only TRM can provide
• Collaborate with TRM's GTM, Product, and Data teams to ensure your intelligence is embedded in the platform and reaches the customers who need it most
