Serve as a point of contact for law enforcement inquiries, including as the DRI for law enforcement requests from Brazil, providing technical assistance and records in alignment with legal and compliance guidelines.

Evaluate, process, and fulfill legal information requests (e.g., subpoenas) in a timely manner, determining any risks or sensitivities associated with each request.

Conduct blockchain analysis using investigative tools such as Chainalysis, TRM Labs, and Elliptic to trace illicit fund flows and identify criminal typologies.

Pursue investigations into criminal activity with oversight from senior investigators, building cases from limited initial indicators and escalating urgent or sensitive matters to management.
