Deployment Strategist, Crypto Investigations

About the Role

Global Services helps Chainalysis customers turn blockchain data and investigative tools into practical results. Our customers include law enforcement, national security teams, financial institutions, and organisations across the crypto industry. We’re looking for a Deployment Strategist, Crypto Investigations, to join Global Services and support public-sector customers in France, particularly law enforcement and intelligence teams.

You’ll work with customers throughout their engagement with Chainalysis, from understanding their needs and conducting investigations to developing workflows, delivering training, and helping them build their own capabilities. You’ll need sound investigative judgement, strong French communication skills, and the ability to build trusted relationships with customers.
