Skills
About the Role
You will build and lead TRM's cyber mission practice from the ground up. This is not a traditional software-sales, deal-desk, advisory, or professional-services role. You will identify consequential cyber problems, develop an independent, first-principles perspective on how to solve them, find the customers and leaders with the authority to act, and turn those opportunities into large, executable mission programs. You will report directly to the CEO and help found TRM's Mission Delivery organization. You will focus on two mission areas: combating and disrupting cybercrime, and strengthening cyber resilience, owning outcomes in both. You'll help customers understand the highest-harm cyber threats facing their organization or jurisdiction, attribute threat actors and enabling infrastructure, translate intelligence into operational action, and enable takedowns, asset freezes, seizures, and other disruption. You'll also design ambitious programs that measurably improve cyber resilience for national governments, jurisdictions, critical-infrastructure sectors, and private-sector organizations.
