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 Security Support Specialist is a frontline member of the Enterprise Security team, responsible for keeping TRM’s employees productive and secure. They own day‑to‑day security and IT support operations through our internal help channels and ticketing system, with a strong focus on identity and access management, employee onboarding/offboarding, and endpoint/user support. They collaborate cross-functional teams within Security and other areas of the business across time zones to resolve issues quickly, uphold SLAs, and continually improve how support is delivered.
The impact you will have:
Own frontline Security & IT support operations - Handle incoming requests through our internal support channels and ticketing system, triaging, prioritizing, and resolving issues across accounts, applications, and endpoints while maintaining agreed response and resolution targets
Deliver a smooth employee lifecycle experience - Execute and refine phases of employee onboarding/offboarding to ensure new hires, contractors, and leavers are correctly set up or deprovisioned across accounts, devices, and core tools, in partnership with People, Finance, and Security
Provide reliable identity, access, and SaaS support - Serve as a primary point of contact for access requests, account troubleshooting, and sign‑in issues across our identity platform(s), productivity suite, collaboration tools, and key business applications
Resolve endpoint and client‑side issues - Support employees with day‑to‑day device and client software problems (e.g., sign‑in failures, performance issues, management agent errors), ensuring corporate security controls remain in place
Coordinate structured escalations - When issues require deeper engineering, security, or vendor involvement, gather clear technical context, initiate an escalation to the appropriate owner, and track it through to closure while keeping stakeholders informed
Improve support processes over time - Identify patterns in recurring requests or failure modes, and work with the team to update documentation, refine workflows, and reduce operational toil
What we’re looking for:
Must have
Service desk or IT support background - Proven experience in a technical support, helpdesk, or IT operations role where you were responsible for answering user requests, managing a ticket queue, and meeting SLAs in a dynamic environment
Clear and structured communication - Ability to explain technical topics to non‑technical colleagues, write concise updates in tickets, and keep stakeholders informed about progress and next steps
Identity and access management fundamentals - Familiarity with core concepts such as single sign‑on, multi‑factor authentication, group/role‑based access control, and account lifecycle events (creation, modification, suspension, deprovisioning)
SaaS‑based workplace familiarity - Experience supporting users in a predominantly cloud/SaaS environment, including a mix of Identity Providers, Productivity suites, Collaboration tools, Line‑of‑business applications (CRM, finance, HR, or similar platforms)
Operational rigor and ownership - Habit of accurately documenting your work, closing the loop on open issues, and proactively following up on items that are blocked or waiting on others
Nice to have
A long history of providing excellent customer service
Ability to distill a technical topic down for a wide audience
Interest in reducing repeated manual work through better processes, templates, and lightweight automation
Awareness of compliance frameworks such as SOC2, ISO 27001, UK Cyber Essentials
Foundational networking knowledge (e.g. TCP/IP, firewalls, VPNs)

We are building a safer world. That promise shows up in how we work every day.
TRM moves quickly. We are a high velocity, high ownership team that expects clarity, follow-through, and impact. People who thrive here are energized by hard problems, experimentation, and continuous feedback. If something takes months elsewhere, it will ship here in days.
Our work sits at the intersection of AI, national security, and fighting crime. The problems are complex, the stakes are real, and the environment evolves quickly. The pace and intensity of the work reflect the importance of the mission. As a result, the way we operate requires a high level of ownership, adaptability, collaboration, and creative problem-solving.
At TRM, you should expect:
Priorities and targets to change quickly as we experiment and iterate
Work that often requires operating with a high degree of ambiguity
A high level of personal ownership and accountability
Close collaboration across teams and functions
Frequent, high-touch communication
Creative problem solving and out-of-the-box thinking
A pace that rewards urgency, adaptability, and outcomes
This environment is energizing for people who enjoy building, solving hard problems, and making progress in situations that are not always fully defined. It also requires comfort navigating ambiguity, adjusting course as new information emerges, and maintaining focus and positivity in a fast-moving and intense environment.
We also recognize that this style of operating is not for everyone. If you are primarily optimizing for predictability or a consistently balanced workload, we encourage you to use the interview process to pressure test whether this environment is truly the right fit. We want teammates who thrive here, not just survive here.
At the same time, many people find this work deeply rewarding. If you are excited by meaningful problems, motivated by ambitious goals, and energized by working alongside mission-driven colleagues, there is a good chance you will find TRM to be an exceptional place to grow and contribute.
