Blockchain Intelligence Analyst

As a Blockchain Intelligence Analyst at Trillion Digital, you play a mission-critical role in safeguarding the company's compliance and risk posture across its trading and operational lifecycle. You focus on the execution and continuous enhancement of transaction monitoring (KYT) and ongoing monitoring programs, forming a core part of internal controls against financial crime, sanctions exposure, and reputational risk. Working with blockchain analytics platforms like Chainalysis and Elliptic, you monitor transactional activity, investigate risk-relevant signals, and proactively surface operational vulnerabilities. You support cross-functional coordination with compliance, trading operations, and external legal and advisory teams to maintain a strong control environment in line with regulatory obligations.

• Conduct case management and escalation of transaction alerts generated by KYT platforms such as Chainalysis, Elliptic, and TRM Labs.
• Perform ongoing monitoring and periodic client reviews to detect changes in behavioral profiles, counterparties, or transactional risk.
• Investigate, document, and escalate suspicious activity reports (SARs) in accordance with internal protocols and BSA/AML obligations.
• Maintain monitoring SOPs and ensure alignment with Trillion Digital's internal compliance policies and control frameworks.
• Collaborate with compliance and legal functions to triage and respond to law enforcement requests, 314(a)/(b) matches, and audit inquiries.
• Coordinate and execute periodic client risk reviews, including KYC/KYB renewals and profile refreshes, in alignment with risk-based thresholds and ongoing monitoring cycles.
• Monitor effectiveness of blockchain surveillance tools and provide feedback on tuning rules and thresholds.
• Drive internal reporting and management information on transaction risk, volume, and trends.
• Support the preparation of materials for internal risk committee meetings, including memos and incident analyses.
