Senior / Staff Intelligence Analyst, Environmental Crimes

As a Senior or Staff Intelligence Analyst, Environmental Crimes at TRM Labs, you will own TRM's intelligence on environmental crime end-to-end. You will research, analyze, and publish intelligence on environmental crime networks and the crypto and financial flows behind them, combining on-chain tracing, OSINT, and off-chain data from partners into a picture that law enforcement, NGOs, and private-sector partners can act on. You will also serve as the clear TRM owner for partnerships with United for Wildlife and Project Pangolin, acting as a trusted advisor and expert user who shapes how TRM's products serve this mission.

What you'll do

• Build the environmental crimes threat picture by researching, authoring, and publishing intelligence products (threat assessments, typology reports, trend analysis, actor profiles, network maps) on environmental crime and illicit finance, and maintain a reusable threat picture inside TRM's intelligence infrastructure.
• Drive investigations to action by developing and using a wide variety of intelligence sources, tools, and capabilities (on-chain, OSINT, and partner-provided off-chain data) to identify wallets, entities, and off-ramps behind environmental crime networks, and produce structured, source-cited targeting packages that support law enforcement and partner investigations.
• Own the United for Wildlife partner program by replacing fractional coverage with a managed, repeatable program across a network of 200+ partner organizations, including case assistance, analysis, guidance, training, and onboarding.
• Bring the community together by organizing virtual and in-person cross-sector, cross-border sprints and working groups aimed at real-time disruption, and collaborating with partners such as USFWS, HSI, DOJ, Interpol, UNODC, national agencies, and NGOs.
• Be TRM's public voice on environmental crimes by briefing internal stakeholders, partners, and leadership, and representing TRM with media, at external events, and with other stakeholders to amplify intelligence.
• Shape the product by acting as the representative power user of TRM's mission tooling for the environmental crimes community, turning field needs into structured feedback and partnering with product teams to prototype new analysis and collaboration capabilities.
• Scale coverage with AI by building reusable AI workflows for signal processing, target selection, and drafting, with human validation where it matters, so more of your time goes to high-judgment analysis and partner delivery.

What you bring

• 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.
• Demonstrated ability to build trust, energize a multi-organization network, own an external partner program, and balance partner-facing work with heads-down analysis.
• Strong stakeholder communication, briefing, and facilitation skills.
• Self-directed approach: you thrive in ambiguity and generate visible wins quickly in early-stage initiatives.
• Commitment to becoming fluent in blockchain tracing and TRM's tooling. Prior crypto experience is not required; TRM will train you.

Nice to have

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

What we offer

• Remote, distributed role with required overlap across US, EMEA, and APAC time zones for internal syncs and partner engagement.
• Up to 20% travel, including approximately 6 or more major trips per year for key industry and partner events (e.g., Climate Weeks) plus 2 TRM offsites.
