Senior Product Counsel

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.

THE ROLE

We are looking for a Senior Product Counsel to serve as one of the primary legal partners for TRM's Product and Engineering organizations. You will advise on the legal implications of product decisions from conception through launch — with a particular focus on how TRM collects, uses, and delivers blockchain data, and how it builds AI-powered features on top of it.

This is a high-autonomy, high-impact role that sits at the intersection of legal, product, and business strategy. You will report into the Assistant General Counsel and be embedded in the product development lifecycle — sitting in roadmap reviews, spec discussions, and launch-readiness processes, and working directly with Product Managers, Engineers, Data Scientists, and GTM teams. You are expected to operate independently, exercise sound judgment under ambiguity, and translate legal requirements into practical guidance that teams can actually execute.

TRM's products process sensitive data across dozens of jurisdictions on behalf of governments, financial institutions, and crypto businesses. The product legal questions we face — around data sourcing, AI/ML, intellectual property, and novel regulatory frameworks — are novel, high-stakes, and consequential. This role is for a senior lawyer who thrives in that environment.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Serve as legal partner to Product and Engineering, advising on the legal implications of product decisions from conception through launch across TRM's product portfolio.
• Advise our Blockchain Intelligence and Data teams on data collection methods and practices, data sourcing and licensing, and the permissible use of first- and third-party data.
• Counsel on the development and deployment of AI/ML features — including model training, data inputs and outputs, transparency, and emerging AI regulatory requirements.
• Advise on intellectual property matters relevant to the product, including ownership, licensing, and open-source use.
• Draft and refine product-facing legal terms, including terms of service, acceptable use policies, data terms, and customer-facing product documentation.
• Partner closely with Privacy Counsel on the privacy and data-protection implications of product specs, technical architectures, and data flows, with an eye toward legal risk, data minimization, and regulatory compliance.
• Identify legal and regulatory risks in proposed product features and recommend practical mitigations that preserve product momentum.
• Build scalable legal frameworks, playbooks, and self-service resources so Product and Engineering teams can move
