Insights Editor

Core Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Journalism, International Relations, Government, Economics, Security Studies, or a related field; advanced degree a plus
• 7+ years of professional experience in writing and editing data- or research-driven content (investigative reporting, think tank / policy research, intelligence analysis, or similar)
• Exceptional command of the English language, including grammar, structure, and style, with a proven ability to simplify complex material without sacrificing accuracy
• Demonstrated experience editing others' work for clarity, narrative coherence, and tone, including providing constructive feedback to subject-matter experts
• Strong research and fact-checking skills; comfortable working with both quantitative data and qualitative sources (OSINT, court filings, enforcement actions)
• Prioritize strong command of TRM's data sources, tagging, and models — enough to question, refine, and occasionally challenge initial analytical conclusions or framing
• Be seen as a go-to editor for high-stakes external intelligence content — trusted to elevate clarity and impact while protecting TRM's credibility and risk posture

Domain and Technical Skills

• Familiarity with cryptocurrency, blockchain, financial crime, or adjacent domains (sanctions, fraud, cybercrime, AML/CTF, illicit finance), or a demonstrated ability to ramp quickly on technical subject matter
• Comfort collaborating with data and analytics teams — reading charts, interrogating data caveats, and discussing methodology at a non-technical level
• Experience with content management, editorial workflow, or collaboration tools (Google Docs, Notion, project trackers, Slack)
• Comfort using and iterating on AI tools while maintaining an insistence on the highest-quality outputs

Nice to Have

• Prior experience in investigations, national security, intelligence or law enforcement environments — or in think tanks, research institutes, or policy shops producing external-facing analysis
• Experience shaping content for different audiences (public sector vs private sector; technical vs executive; public vs client-only)
• Background working in a remote, globally distributed team across multiple time zones
• Experience measurably improving engagement with published work — readership, lead conversion, or customer action taken on what was published
