Senior / Staff Intelligence Analyst, Environmental Crimes

• 5+ years in intelligence analysis, financial crime, illicit finance, blockchain intelligence, or transnational threat investigations.

• Domain knowledge of wildlife trafficking, environmental crime, and/or transnational smuggling - or a closely adjacent illicit-trade domain, with a demonstrated ability to ramp fast.

• Proven ability to independently run complex, multi-source investigations and produce clear, decision-ready, source-cited written intelligence for both expert and non-expert audiences.

• Strong proficiency in OSINT methodology and tradecraft, with hands-on experience using commercial databases and investigative tools.

• Production AI fluency: you already use AI and LLMs to accelerate research and analysis, build reusable workflows, and critically evaluate AI output - neither accept-all nor reject-all.

• A partner- and community-facing operator: you build trust and energize a multi-organization network, and you are comfortable owning an external partner program, not only heads-down analysis.

• Strong stakeholder communication, briefing, and facilitation skills.

• Self-directed: you thrive in ambiguity and generate visible wins quickly in an early-stage initiative.

• Commitment to becoming fluent in blockchain tracing and TRM's tooling. Prior crypto experience is not required; we will train you.

• Hands-on blockchain or crypto tracing experience across multiple chains and obfuscation techniques (strongly preferred).

• Experience working alongside law enforcement or NGOs in a conservation or enforcement context.

• Experience delivering training or enablement to external partners.

• Experience organizing events or operational working groups that bring diverse stakeholders together to drive action.

• Regional language skills relevant to key trafficking corridors (e.g., Mandarin, Vietnamese, Thai, Spanish, Portuguese).

• You will join TRM's Primary Intelligence organization and work day-to-day with the Environmental Crimes team, a distributed group producing finished intelligence across threat categories.

• Environmental crime is a category TRM is investing in at the executive level, including our collaboration with United for Wildlife.

• Mission-first, high-autonomy, execution-oriented culture with rigorous analytical standards.

• AI-native: analysts use AI daily and build reusable methods that the whole team adopts.

• Distributed, not distant: a global team that collaborates across time zones with regular overlap for syncs.

• Slack-first, async communication; @mention for timely responses.

• Weekly 1:1s and team syncs, plus case and partner-delivery rhythms.

• Regular engagement with external partners and cross-functional teams.

AI fluency is a baseline expectation at TRM.

We believe AI meaningfully changes how top performers operate. We expect every team member to use AI to accelerate and reimagine their craft, not just automate surface tasks.

At TRM, AI fluency means you are among the top 10 percent of operators in your function in how you apply AI to:

• Accelerate repeatable workflows

• Structure and solve problems

• Improve output quality

• Increase speed and leverage

You will be evaluated on applied AI fluency during the interview process.

We are building a safer world. That promise shows up in how we work every day.

TRM moves FAST. We are a high-velocity, high-ownership team that expects clarity, follow-through, and impact. People who thrive here are energized by hard problems, experimentation, and continuous feedback. If something takes months elsewhere, it will ship here in days.

Our work sits at the intersection of AI, national security, and fighting crime. The problems are complex, the stakes are real, and the environment evolves quickly. The pace and intensity of the work reflect the importance of the mission. As a result, the way we operate requires a high level of ownership, adaptability, collaboration, and creative problem-solving.

At TRM, you should expect:

• Priorities and targets to change quickly

• Operating with a high degree of ambiguity

• A high level of personal ownership and accountability

• Close collaboration across teams and functions

• Frequent, high-touch communication

• Creative problem-solving and out-of-the-box thinking

• A pace that rewards urgency, adaptability, and outcomes

This environment is energizing for people who enjoy building, solving hard problems, and making progress in situations that are not always fully defined. It also requires thriving in ambiguity, adjusting course as new information emerges, and maintaining focus and positivity in a fast-moving and intense environment.

We also recognize that this style of operating is not for everyone. If you are primarily optimizing for predictability or a consistently balanced workload, we encourage you to use the interview process to pressure-test whether this environment is truly the right fit. We want teammates who thrive here, not just survive here.

If you are excited by meaningful problems, motivated by ambitious goals, and energized by working alongside mission-driven colleagues, there is a good chance you will find TRM to be an exceptional place to grow and contribute.

We hire and grow against three leadership principles. They're the standards for how we operate, treat each other, and make decisions.

• Impact-Oriented Trailblazer: We put customers first and move with speed, focus, and adaptability. We treat every plan like an experiment - test, ship, measure, and iterate quickly.

• Master Craftsperson: We care deeply about our craft. We balance speed with high standards, own outcomes end‑to‑end, and invest in getting better everyday.

• Inspiring Colleague: We add clarity and energy, not noise. We bring humility, candor, and a one‑team mindset - giving and receiving feedback to make the team stronger.
