Head of Investigations – Digital Asset Recovery

Looking for a seasoned on-chain sleuth to take point on asset recovery ops. If you’ve tracked wallets across chains, traced funds through mixers, and helped claw back stolen tokens from the shadows — we need you. You'll lead the charge on major exploits, fraud cases, and cross-border enforcement, working alongside legal, compliance, and protocol teams.

Responsibilities

  • Lead investigations into stolen, lost, or fraudulently transferred digital assets.

  • Use blockchain analytics tools (e.g., Chainalysis, TRM, Arkham, CipherTrace) to trace asset flows across wallets, smart contracts, mixers, bridges, and CEXs.

  • Analyze smart contracts, on-chain behavior, and transaction graphs to identify asset movement and attribution.

  • Manage serious incident response: coordinate internal teams, external counsel, law enforcement, and recovery actions.

  • Produce legal-grade documentation for court filings, subpoenas, asset freezes, and enforcement across jurisdictions.

  • Advise clients on legal mechanisms for asset recovery (title acquisition, injunctive relief, enforcement orders).

  • Mentor and lead a team of investigators, analysts, and recovery specialists.

Required Skills

  • Proven experience in on-chain forensics, wallet tracing, smart contract analysis, and DeFi protocol understanding.

  • Familiar with tactics used in phishing, rug pulls, NFT thefts, SIM swaps, pig butchering, exit scams, and insider threats.

  • Strong understanding of KYC/AML obligations in crypto, including FATF Travel Rule, MiCA, FinCEN, and SEC guidance.

  • Skilled with Etherscan, Solscan, mempool monitoring, clustering heuristics, and cross-chain tracking methodologies.

  • Experience producing reports for legal, regulatory, or internal incident response use.

  • Ability to lead investigations under pressure with professionalism, discretion, and rigor.

Nice to Have

  • Exposure to MEV strategies, smart contract audits, DAO fund misappropriation, or darknet crypto tracing.

  • Familiarity with both centralized and decentralized enforcement coordination.

  • Technical background in security, forensics, or smart contract dev is a plus.
