About the Team:

• TRM's EMEA Sales Team has a fast paced, positive and open culture. Team members are given a high degree of responsibility and autonomy so that they can decide the best way to deliver against goals. The team works positively together and you can expect a lot of help and support from both your team mates and your manager - who tries to make himself super available to assist you with questions, problems or at customer meetings. The team gets together for calls regularly including a weekly team call, a weekly pipeline call, a weekly forecast call and fortnightly pod calls. In addition TRM runs regular "all hands" and "found AMA" calls so that everyone feels connected to the wider team and mission. Slack is main tool that is at the center of all asynchronous and synchronous communication.
• The EMEA Sales team works UK and CET time. However there might be some requirement for later calls with East and West Coast US when working on complex opportunities.

Learn about TRM Speed in this position:

• TRM receives an urgent lead from a prospect at 3:30PM on a Friday, they would like to speak to somebody in detail about their requirements, TRM's product and would like to see a demo today.
• Within your first month you will need to profile and stack rank all prospects and customers in your territory and start an outreach program yourself and with your SDR all whilst completing TRM's onboarding and training.
• TRM receives a customer RFx late from a partner. It looks perfect for us, but we only have 3 days to respond. Rally your virtual team's resources to provide a high quality, detailed response that satisfies the customer.

What to Expect at TRM

TRM moves fast—really fast. We know a lot of startups say that, but we mean it. We operate with urgency, ownership, and high standards. As a result, you'll be joining a team that's highly engaged, mission-driven, and constantly evolving.

To support this intensity, we're also intentional about rest and recharge. We offer generous benefits, including PTO, Holidays, and Parental Leave for full time employees.

That said, TRM may not be the right fit for everyone. If you're optimizing for work life balance, we encourage you to:

• Ask your interviewers how they personally approach balance within their teams, and
• Reflect on whether this is the right season in your life to join a high-velocity environment.
• Be honest with yourself about what energizes you—and what drains you

We're upfront about this because we want every new team member to thrive—not just survive.

The Stakes Are Real

Our work has direct, real-world impact:

• Jumping online after hours to support urgent government requests tracing ransomware payments.
• Delivering actionable insights during terrorist financing investigations.
• Collaborating across time zones in real time during a major global hack.
• Building new processes in days, not weeks, to stop criminals before they cash out.
• Analyzing blockchain data to recover stolen savings and dismantle trafficking networks.
