ABOUT THE ROLE The 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 every year. The Lead All Source Investigator owns the all-source targeting function inside the team — setting the tradecraft bar, building the operating model, mentoring a team of investigators, and personally working the highest-value targets. You are the senior operator who has run this work before, knows what "good" looks like, and is ready to build the foundation that makes the next several investigators effective from day one. THE IMPACT YOU WILL HAVE - 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 WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - 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 - Scam ecosystem experience is strongly preferred — you have worked on pig butchering operations, romance fraud networks, scam compound infrastructure, or financial fraud investigations; candidates with this exposure are strongly prioritized - 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 —
