[Hiring] Lead Instructor @TRM Labs

Role Description

As the Lead Instructor, Cyber & OSINT , you will own the design and delivery of TRM Academy training on cyber investigations, open-source intelligence (OSINT), and cyber threat intelligence (CTI) for public-sector and government audiences — turning complex tradecraft into practical, mission-ready skills. You'll teach across TRM's AI intelligence and blockchain intelligence platforms, showing analysts and investigators how to pivot from cyber and open-source signals to on-chain activity and build a complete picture of the actors behind a threat.

While the role centers on government audiences, you should be equally comfortable training private-sector teams — such as security and threat intel teams, crypto businesses, and financial institutions.

As a member of the Training Team at TRM, you will be responsible for building the content and programs that enable others — learners, customers, and fellow instructors — to rapidly upskill. Our team is made up of master instructors who can command a room, build engaging content, and speak to every level of expertise. We know how our products are used in the real world and help our customers become humble masters too.

We stay sharp on the threat landscape by conducting ad hoc investigations, supporting time-sensitive analysis for our partners, and developing solutions that allow TRM to scale rapidly and effectively. You will collaborate with an experienced team of intelligence experts, engineers, and data scientists to deliver cutting-edge support to TRM's clients.

Qualifications

• 3–5+ years of experience instructing courses, leading trainings, or delivering technical instruction.
• Hands-on experience in cyber investigations, OSINT, and/or cyber threat intelligence (CTI) (core requirement).
• Experience working in or with the public sector / government — for example, in a cyber division, intelligence unit, or agency cyber program — or a proven track record training these audiences.
• Proven experience building course content — curriculum, labs, practical exercises, and appropriate testing — that enables others to learn and teach.
• Comfortable training private-sector audiences as well, such as security teams, crypto businesses/VASPs, and financial institutions.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills.
• Ability to command the room.
• AI fluency (this is part of our new performance review process and is also part of the interview process!).

Requirements

• Law enforcement experience — federal and/or state, local, and education (SLED).
• Blockchain, cryptocurrency, or digital assets knowledge, including on-chain investigations or money laundering typologies.
• Relevant certifications (e.g., GIAC such as GCTI or GOSI, or similar cyber/OSINT credentials).

Benefits

• The estimated base salary range for this role is $155,000 - $175,000.
• This role may be eligible to participate in TRM’s equity plan.
