Blockchain Intelligence Analyst, Transnational Crime Organizations

Accountabilities

Produce actionable intelligence on transnational criminal organizations, vendors, facilitators, and laundering pathways, including actor profiles, investigative lead packages, and attribution assessments for law enforcement, executive, and partner audiences. Independently lead complex, end-to-end blockchain investigations, progressing from initial indicators such as wallet addresses, transactions, exchange exposure, and infrastructure leads to high-confidence attribution.

Trace illicit funds across multiple blockchains, bridges, mixers, peel chains, and nested services, identifying controllers, counterparties, and cash-out infrastructure such as OTC desks, ATM networks, and cash-to-crypto services. Correlate on-chain activity with OSINT, closed-source intelligence, and off-chain identity and infrastructure signals to establish how criminal organizations operate and move funds.

Own investigative workstreams from discovery and validation through to written intelligence production, ensuring all findings are clearly sourced, auditable, defensible, and operationally useful. Build and maintain effective working relationships with law enforcement partners to ensure intelligence reflects investigative needs and supports real-world operations.

Strengthen investigative coverage of transnational criminal organizations by developing new attributions, refining analytical methodologies, and improving repeatable workflows. Contribute to briefings, partner engagements, and capability-building sessions, clearly explaining blockchain tracing and attribution techniques.

Share expertise with colleagues, help improve team tradecraft, and contribute to a culture of rigorous analysis and continuous learning. Document investigative work and provide regular updates through the team's established tools and communication channels, participating in weekly syncs and responding to urgent partner requests when required.

Requirements

At least 5 years of professional experience in blockchain intelligence, cryptocurrency investigations, financial crime, narcotics investigations, threat intelligence, or a comparable senior analytical role. Deep, hands-on expertise tracing funds across multiple blockchains and investigating laundering or obfuscation techniques, including mixers, chain-hopping, bridges, peel chains, and layered cash-out activity.

Demonstrated ability to independently manage complex investigations and turn fragmented information into clear, well-supported intelligence products. Experience producing analytical assessments, investigative lead packages, fund-flow analyses, and attribution reports.

Strong written and verbal communication skills, particularly the ability to explain technically complex findings in clear, actionable terms to government and private-sector audiences. Excellent investigative judgment, analytical curiosity, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work autonomously in a fast-moving and sometimes ambiguous environment.

Experience using AI tools and large language models to accelerate research and improve analytical workflows, combined with the ability to critically assess AI-generated outputs for accuracy and relevance. Ability to balance speed and investigative rigor, ensuring that conclusions remain reliable, auditable, and defensible.
