Global Investigator - EMEA

TRM Labs provides AI‑powered intelligence solutions that help public and private sector agencies investigate and disrupt crime. The Scam Investigations 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 a Global Investigator you will be part of the recovery‑focused layer of scam investigation, validating high‑priority blockchain leads, conducting forward and backward tracing, assessing whether funds touch regulated platforms or other actionable endpoints, and producing clear investigative documentation to support time‑sensitive escalation and victim‑centered recovery outcomes. Impact You Will Have Here Validate time‑sensitive blockchain signals and move high‑confidence matters through the appropriate escalation workflow. Speed and accuracy both matter. Trace victim funds end‑to‑end — forward to the wallets that consolidate them, backward to the platforms they came from. Your work feeds directly into the legal packages that recover them. Own the recovery side. After a freeze, run the backtrace that ties frozen funds to specific victims and produce the documentation that drives restitution. The freeze is the start. Victim recovery is the goal. Support time‑sensitive asset‑preservation workflows with regulated platforms and ecosystem partners. Qualifications 3–5 years of cryptocurrency investigations or asset‑recovery experience — law enforcement crypto units, blockchain analytics firms, exchange compliance investigations, or equivalent. You understand how regulated platforms behave under request, including the difference between voluntary cooperation and formal process, and you treat getting money back to victims as part of your job rather than a downstream handoff. You don’t need a checklist to start. Handed something you’ve never seen, you figure out the first move and take it. When the playbook stops, you keep going. You think in outcomes, not lanes. If “that’s not what I was hired for” is a sentence you reach for, this isn’t the seat. Experience producing investigative packages that can support formal legal, compliance, or enforcement workflows. Creative tactical thinking — demonstrated ability to pivot from a single point to a network view, identifying operators behind operations. Blockchain / cryptocurrency tracing (required, gating) — forward‑then‑backward trace, exchange attribution, co‑mingling handling, multi‑hop VASP tracing, and LIFO/FIFO backtrace for recovery work. Non‑negotiable. AI fluency (required) — you use AI tools in your workflow to synthesize returns, draft outputs, and accelerate analysis, with examples of how AI has impacted your work.
