TRM Labs is a blockchain intelligence company that provides transaction-monitoring, forensics, and compliance solutions for businesses and public-sector organizations dealing with cryptocurrencies. Their platform and products (examples: Compliance360, Investigation360, Seizure360, Supervision360, BlockInt API, MCP, wallet screening, Know-Your-Asset) help banks, crypto firms, regulators, law enforcement, and tax authorities detect, investigate, and block illicit crypto activity, support seizures, and meet AML/CTF and supervision requirements. TRM also offers training and certification (TRM Academy) and professional services such as incident response and capacity development.

📋 Description

• Determine whether TRM can launch Orion in a new jurisdiction by owning the privacy analysis end-to-end — using AI to draft DPIAs and transfer assessments so decisions land in days, not weeks. • Embed privacy-by-design into Orion's development lifecycle, partnering with Engineering to resolve data-flow and retention questions before they become launch blockers. • Lead and respond to data subject rights requests (DSARs) in coordination with Engineering and Customer Success. • Build and maintain the privacy program's core artifacts — records of processing, DPIA templates, and breach-response playbooks — using AI-assisted workflows so the program scales without adding headcount. • Run first-pass review of data processing agreements with AI, then finalize positions, cutting turnaround time on customer and vendor DPAs. • Design lawful cross-border data transfer mechanisms (SCCs, transfer impact assessments) that let Orion serve international customers with confidence. • Stand up a self-service privacy-review intake, supported by AI triage, so routine questions are answered quickly and only genuinely novel risk reaches deep legal review. • Support the CLO and AGC with clear, business-ready guidance that helps leadership make faster, better-informed decisions on privacy risk.

🎯 Requirements

• 4+ years of privacy and data-protection legal experience, with hands-on work applying GDPR and US state privacy laws to a technology product. • Active US bar admission; JD from an ABA-accredited law school. • Proven AI fluency: you use Claude, Gemini, or equivalent tools in your daily workflow and can design AI-assisted privacy processes — not just use AI for one-off research. • Experience counseling Product and Engineering teams on privacy-by-design, DPIAs, and data flows. • Familiarity with cross-border transfer mechanisms (SCCs, transfer impact assessments, adequacy analysis). • A collaborative, business-minded approach: you explain privacy risk in plain terms and work with partners to find a path forward rather than defaulting to no. • Comfort operating with ownership and limited oversight in a fast-moving environment.

🏖️ Benefits

• Health insurance • 401(k) matching • Flexible work hours • Paid time off • Remote work options
