Consulting firm Deloitte is looking for specialist analysts to assist in uncovering financial crimes related to crypto.
Recent job listings on LinkedIn show vacancies for Senior Cyber Crypto Analysts in Virginia and Cryptocurrency Investigators in Washington, DC. However, the exact number of positions for each role was not specified.

Crypto Investigator Role Requires Secret Clearance
The job posting for a crypto investigator at Deloitte requires candidates to possess “Secret clearance.” This clearance level grants individuals authorized access to specific classified information by the US government. It signifies their eligibility to handle sensitive data not accessible to the general public.
Responsibilities of the selected candidate, who will assist in cyber financial crime investigations, are particularly focused on crypto fraud and collaboration with law enforcement agencies. Required skills include proficiency in Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) and dark web research, along with knowledge of cryptocurrencies, digital assets, and Bank Secrecy Act data.
Moreover, candidates should have experience in crypto analysis to aid federal investigations, using tools like Chainalysis, Elliptic, CipherTrace, TRM Labs, and Elementus.
Deloitte’s Senior Crypto Analyst Role Requires Active Top Secret Clearance
The Senior Cyber Crypto Analyst role shares similarities with the crypto investigator position but requires somewhat different qualifications.
Candidates need an Active Top Secret security clearance, granting access to Top Secret classified information. They must also possess experience supporting law enforcement investigations and using crypto analysis tools.
Deloitte has previously advertised over 300 crypto-related positions in the US, including roles like Blockchain & Digital Assets Manager and Tax Manager.
