Build a Safer World.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.About the RoleThe 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. The team runs an integrated targeting workflow — taking legal process, fusing on-chain and off-chain data, and delivering actionable intelligence to partners.As Investigations Manager, you will lead all-source investigators who run the intelligence flywheel every day. This is a player-coach role for someone who has done all-source intelligence work, can credibly review it, and can run the people-management cadence that lets a high-pressure team sustain quality and throughput over time.The Impact You Will HaveDrive the flywheel's throughput. Manage the operational cadence of legal process → on-chain/off-chain fusion → targeting at high volume. Clear blockers, balance surge windows against a sustainable pace, and close the loop with stakeholders.Own work-product quality. Be the credible QC layer on every target package, attribution write-up, and legal-process return leaving the team — defensible, prioritized, and actionable.Translate impact outward. Partner with engineering on tooling, legal on process, and partners on perishable leads, prosecutorial referrals, and joint disruption operations.Run the team. 1:1s, career-pathing, performance pulses, and growth feedback at TRM Manager standard. You convert priorities from department leadership into investigator workload and escalate cleanly when something exceeds team-level scope. The reason your investigators stay and grow is you.Hire and develop. Source actively alongside the recruiter, run thoughtful interview loops, and own end-to-end onboarding. When the team needs to grow — or when automation shifts the analyst-to-volume ratio — you write the headcount case. Talent density is yours to defend and raise.Servant-leader by default. Every TRM manager is a doer. When the team needs you in the trenches, you're there.What We're Looking For5+ years of people management with 10–15+ direct reports — continuous feedback, career-pathing, and underperformance management are practiced habits, not edge cases. You've set the strategies and operating frameworks that shape how a broader team works — not just executed someone else's.Operational / investigative experience — you have personally executed or supervised all-source intelligence work that drives real world outcomes. You draw on that experience to serve as a credible QC layer for your team's output.Scam-ecosystem familiarity strongly preferred — you have direct experience with pig butchering operations, romance fraud networks, scam-compound infrastructure, or investment-scam operations.Legal-process fluency — you have working-level familiarity with subpoenas, warrants, preservation requests, and other formal investigative process. You do not need to be a lawyer; you need to understand how high-quality investigative documentation supports downstream action.AI fluency (required) — you use AI tools in your management workflow and can articulate where AI accelerates your team's output and where it doesn't. AI fluency is evaluated during the interview process.Strong written communication and stakeholder presence — you are comfortable briefing federal partners, TRM leadership, and customer stakeholders on case outcomes and team throughput.Crypto experience is a plus, not a requirement — we teach on-chain tradecraft; we cannot teach the operator's instinct.US Citizenship required, ability to obtain public trust may be requiredWashington, D.C. / MD / VA based is preferred, but not required (periodic on-site (DC) collaboration and travel may be required)About the TeamThe Scam Disruption team operates within TRM's Blockchain Intelligence organization, alongside threat intelligence analysts, on-chain investigators, and federal partners.Distributed team with an async-first approach via Slack and Notion, plus structured syncs for alignment.High autonomy, high standards, low bureaucracy — you work directly with engineers, analysts, legal counterparts, and the partners who depend on the team's output.Team Operating RhythmsWeekly 1:1s with direct reportsWeekly team sync covering active work, throughput, and escalations6-week performance pulse cycle across the teamQuarterly career-pathing conversations and Areas of Responsibility auditsPrimary time-zone overlap: US Eastern / CentralSurge availability expected during time-sensitive disruption windowsJoin Our MissionWe seek people whose work matters, who build with speed and rigor, and who take pride in protecting others through their craft. If you’re excited by TRM’s mission but don’t check every box, apply anyway.Build to protect civilization. Let’s do it together.Life at TRMWe are building a safer world. That promise shows up in how we work every day.TRM moves quickly. We are a high velocity, high ownership team that expects clarity, follow-through, and impact.

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 as we experiment and iterateWork that often requires operating with a high degree of ambiguityA high level of personal ownership and accountabilityClose collaboration across teams and functionsFrequent, high-touch communicationCreative problem solving and out-of-the-box thinkingA pace that rewards urgency, adaptability, and outcomesThis 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 comfort navigating 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.At the same time, many people find this work deeply rewarding. 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.
