Strategic Finance Lead, GTM

TRM Labs: 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.

As a Strategic Finance Lead, GTM, you will play a critical role in shaping TRM’s financial trajectory by driving rigorous planning, analysis, and reporting with a primary focus on supporting GTM strategy and execution. Reporting to the Head of Strategic Finance, you’ll partner closely with Sales, Marketing, Revenue Operations, and Customer Success to deliver insights that help TRM scale efficiently and strategically. You’ll lead core FP&A rhythms — including forecasting, reporting, and long-range planning — while building dynamic models and crafting clear, compelling narratives for executives, the board, and investors. This role is a strong fit for an analytically rigorous, detail-oriented finance athlete who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys solving complex problems collaboratively.

Strategic Finance at TRM is still early — you will shape not just the business, but also the team and culture as we build a world-class function. This role is an exceptional launch pad for an ambitious finance professional seeking outsized impact, close mentorship, and accelerated growth.

The impact you will have:

• Lead monthly and quarterly forecasting and reporting rhythms, with deep ownership of GTM forecasts (bookings, ARR, pipeline, and headcount), partnering closely with the Head of Strategic Finance
• Own budget-vs-actuals updates for GTM functions, identifying variances across sales capacity, marketing spend, and customer acquisition metrics
• Develop board-ready materials and compelling financial narratives related to growth performance, efficiency, and ROI for executive reviews and company all-hands meetings
• Support comprehensive top-down and bottom-up financial planning for 2026 and beyond, including sales capacity modeling, quota planning, and growth scenarios
• Build models and templates to inform GTM investment decisions, including hiring, target setting, and marketing mix
• Drive strategic projects — including pricing and packaging, sales compensation economics, vendor optimization, ROI analysis, and more
• Assist with investor reporting and fundraising, articulating TRM’s GTM strategy, unit economics, and path to efficient scale, with a path toward increasing ownership and responsibility

What we’re looking for:

• 4–7 years of experience across investment banking, investing, consulting, or finance at a high-growth tech company
• Experience supporting revenue-driving or customer-facing teams (Sales, Marketing, RevOps, or CS) strongly preferred
• Expert-level Excel and Google Sheets modeling skills
• Clarity and polish in writing and presentations
• Experience with planning cycles (monthly, quarterly, annual)
• Comfort with working independently and proactively driving outcomes
• Degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or Business Administration preferred; MBA a plus

Your interviewer will share your specific interview plan and preparation guidance along the way.

AI Fluency at TRM

AI fluency is a baseline expectation at TRM.

We believe AI meaningfully changes how top performers operate. We expect every team member to use AI to accelerate and reimagine their craft, not just automate surface tasks.

At TRM, AI fluency means you are among the top 10 percent of operators in your function in how you apply AI to:

• Accelerate repeatable workflows
• Structure and solve problems
• Improve output quality
• Increase speed and leverage

You will be evaluated on applied AI fluency during the interview process.

Life at TRM

We are building a safer world. That promise shows up in how we work every day.

TRM moves FAST. 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
• 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 thriving in 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.

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.

Leadership Principles

We hire and grow against three leadership principles. They’re the standards for how we operate, treat each other, and make decisions.

• Impact-Oriented Trailblazer: We put customers first and move with speed, focus, and adaptability. We treat every plan like an experiment – test, ship, measure, and iterate quickly.
• Master Craftsperson: We care deeply about our craft. We balance speed with high standards, own outcomes end‑to‑end, and invest in getting better everyday.
• Inspiring Colleague: We add clarity and energy, not noise. We bring humility, candor, and a one‑team mindset — giving and receiving feedback to make the team stronger.

Join our Mission

At TRM, we care deeply about our craft. We are looking for individuals who want their work to matter, who experiment with speed and rigor, and who take pride in building a safer world for billions of people. If you’re excited by TRM’s mission but don’t check every box, we encourage you to apply — we hire for slope, judgment, and the will to learn fast.
