The posting, as TRM Labs wrote it

BUILD A SAFER WORLD.

TRM Labs provides AI-powered intelligence solutions that help public and private sector agencies investigate and disrupt crime. TRM's platforms enable investigators to trace illicit activity, build cases, and construct operating pictures of threat networks. Leading agencies and businesses worldwide rely on TRM to make the world safer and more secure.

TRM is on a mission to build a safer financial system for billions of people. We deliver a blockchain intelligence data platform to financial institutions, crypto companies, and governments to fight cryptocurrency fraud and financial crime. We consider our business as a way to move towards our mission sustainably and at scale.

• Navigate Defense procurement, including IDIQs, OTAs, GWACs, BPAs, and GSA schedules, partnering with Legal and Deal Desk. Build pipeline 12 to 18 months ahead of budget availability.
• Translate each customer's mission needs, such as counter-illicit finance, sanctions evasion, and threat finance, into TRM use cases, and run demos and pilots with Solutions Architecture.
• Write client proposals and briefs and negotiate contracts and SOWs.
• Bring mission feedback from your customers to the Product, Intel, and Ardence teams, and coordinate with the other Defense Account Director so TRM presents one coherent Defense motion.

• Enterprise SaaS or technology sales experience selling into DoD, the military services, and/or combatant commands.
