Instructional Designer, TRM Academy

Summary

TRM Labs provides AI-powered intelligence solutions that help public and private sector agencies investigate and disrupt crime. The Instructional Designer will design and build courses, certifications, learning paths, assessments, live-session materials, and product documentation for TRM Academy, using AI to accelerate content development while ensuring accuracy across crypto, compliance, investigations, and regulatory topics.

Responsibilities

• Design learning pathways for a widening range of learners. Turn the Academy's catalog into clear paths through self-paced courses, live sessions and scenario-based assessments, for investigators, compliance teams, regulators and the other audiences TRM serves as that list grows
• Keep TRM's certifications accurate and defensible. Run the review cycle for the Academy's certification programs. Route content and exam items to subject-matter experts for sign-off, check figures and citations against their sources, and update courses quickly when the source material changes
• Turn expert knowledge into strong training. Coach subject-matter experts with editorial feedback so their expertise becomes clear, well-built courses, hands-on exercises and trainer toolkits for live delivery
• Co-own product documentation and training across TRM's platforms. Keep help content, onboarding and product training accurate and in step with releases
• Deliver content in multiple languages without losing accuracy. Run the localization workflow: first-draft translation, native-speaker review and SME sign-off for technical and regulatory material
• Make the team faster, and prove the training works. Draft with AI and own the verification, so no unsupported figure, source or regulatory detail reaches a learner. Build reusable workflows the Academy adopts, and measure both the build time saved and learner outcomes beyond completions

Skills

• 3 to 5+ years of instructional design or curriculum development for adult learners, with a portfolio of published, assessment-backed courses
• Experience building on an LMS and writing valid assessments and item banks
• Ability to translate technical subject-matter content into curriculum
• Production AI fluency: you already use AI daily to draft content, generate assessment items and speed up build and research workflows
• Readiness to build reusable AI workflows others adopt, including item generation checked against source and module-versus-new-intelligence comparisons, and to own the human verification step
• Excellent written communication and a track record owning courses end-to-end as the single accountable owner
• Crypto, blockchain, compliance or financial-crime familiarity is a strong plus
