Global Investigator - EMEA

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. The Scam Investigations team leads TRM's response against pig butchering syndicates, romance fraud networks, and investment scam operations that steal billions from victims each year. The team operates an integrated workflow — from AI-supported complaint triage to time-sensitive investigation, escalation, and recovery support for victims. The team runs a follow-the-sun rotation with investigators across NA, EMEA, and APAC for around-the-clock coverage. Distributed, async-first via Slack and Notion, with structured syncs for alignment. High autonomy, high standards, low bureaucracy. As a Global Investigator (EMEA), you will work at the recovery-focused layer of scam investigation. You will validate high-priority blockchain leads, conduct forward and backward tracing, assess whether funds touch regulated platforms or other actionable endpoints, and produce clear investigative documentation that supports time-sensitive escalation and victim-centered recovery outcomes. The Impact You Will Have: - Validate time-sensitive blockchain signals and move high-confidence matters through the appropriate escalation workflow - Trace victim funds end-to-end — forward to the wallets that consolidate them, backward to the platforms they came from - Own the recovery side. After a freeze, run the backtrace that ties frozen funds to specific victims - Support time-sensitive asset-preservation workflows with regulated platforms and ecosystem partners What We're Looking For: - 3–5 years of cryptocurrency investigations or asset-recovery experience - You understand how regulated platforms behave under request - 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. - Experience producing investigative packages that can support formal legal, compliance, or enforcement workflows - Creative tactical thinking - AI fluency (required) - Strong written communication LIFE AT TRM We 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. 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 as we experiment and iterate - Work that often requires 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 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
