Director of Law Enforcement Relations and Special Inestigations
Director of Law Enforcement Relations & Special Investigations
About the Role: We are seeking an elite crypto investigator to serve as our primary liaison for U.S. and global law enforcement. In this role, you will be the critical bridge between Tron and agencies like the FBI, IRS, HSI, and Secret Service. You will lead complex on-chain tracing, manage high-stakes investigations ranging from retail fraud to transnational illicit networks, and establish proactive industry partnerships to mitigate bad actors.
Key Responsibilities:
• Law Enforcement Liaison: Act as the primary point of contact for U.S. and international law enforcement, handling complex escalations out of a high-volume pipeline.
• Advanced On-Chain Investigations: Trace complex, multi-hop illicit asset movements across bridges and hundreds of wallets to support major investigations into hacks, fraud, and illicit networks.
• Asset Recovery & Legal Compliance: Execute account reviews, freezes, and offboarding procedures in strict accordance with court orders, probable cause standards, and jurisdictional laws.
• Industry Collaboration: Lead strategic initiatives and task forces with external partners (e.g., TRM, Tether, other exchanges) to streamline intelligence sharing and expedite the freezing of illicit funds.
• Education & Advocacy: Educate and support law enforcement officials, prosecutors, and local agencies who are unfamiliar with cryptocurrency, while simultaneously protecting users from overreaching or inaccurate law enforcement requests.
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Collaborate heavily with internal Legal, Sanctions, Financial Crime, and Customer Support/Offboarding teams to resolve cases, navigating occasional pushback with business units regarding account closures.
• Program Management: Build and oversee quality assurance programs to standardize how our investigation teams process records and respond to external requests.
Ideal Qualifications:
• Extensive experience conducting high-stakes cryptocurrency investigations, gained EITHER on the investigations team at a major crypto/blockchain analytics firm OR as a lead investigator in federal law enforcement (e.g., FBI, IRS-CI, USSS, HSI).
• Recent, high-level experience on the investigations or law enforcement response team at a Tier-1 centralized cryptocurrency exchange.
• Deep technical expertise in blockchain analytics, bridging, and the tools required to track funds across illicit virtual asset networks.
• Proven ability to independently manage relationships spanning from local detectives to the top tiers of federal intelligence agencies.
• A firm grasp of the legal thresholds and documentation (subpoenas, court orders) required to take action on user accounts.
