About us:

Location: Remote (Europe / Asia timezone preferred)

Reporting line: CEO

At Chainlabs, we build the intelligence layer that makes the blockchain understandable. By labelling wallets to real-world entities, we uncover the networks behind crypto crime and trace the movement of illicit funds across the Web3 economy.

Our data fuels the tools that keep Web3 safe and transparent. From exchanges and banks to regulators and investigators, industry leaders use our labels to see the full picture behind blockchain activity. As the world’s largest source of labeled blockchain data, we’re trusted by Coinbase, Nansen, and the majority of top Web3 analytics platforms.

Role Overview

The Data Intelligence Lead will bridge client discovery, data strategy, and operational leadership. This executive role combines client-facing requirements gathering, second-line (skip-lead) management, and the establishment of standards for blockchain datasets. It is a C-level position within Chainlabs, with a scope equivalent to a COO for intelligence operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and mentor managers (COs), taking ownership of their performance and output.
• Define, implement, and enforce quality standards across metadata, screenshots, and QC processes.
• Establish audit frameworks to continuously review datasets and methodologies across categories (OTC, Scams, Malware, Exploits, Regional Exchanges).
• Adapt and evolve intelligence operations to respond to shifting market demands and emerging segments.
• Prioritise category development and set a clear roadmap for intelligence expansion (e.g. terrorist financing, criminal enterprises).
• Collaborate with the Operations Lead to improve workflows, tooling, and project management discipline.
• Engage directly with clients to uncover unmet needs, translate requirements into product opportunities, and support the CEO in expanding Chainlabs’ offerings into target segments.
• Scale the intelligence team through strategic hiring, capability development, and performance management.

Qualifications

• Extensive experience in OSINT or Web3 data intelligence.
