Rain is building the global payments infrastructure for the stablecoin era.
The Role
About the Company

Rain is the global stablecoin payments platform for enterprises, neobanks, platforms, developers, and AI agents. Our technology allows partners to move, store, and use stablecoins instantly and compliantly through global payment cards, rewards, on/offramps, wallets, and cross-border rails. As both a Visa and Mastercard Principal Member, Rain issues cards that work at more than 175 million merchant locations in over 220 countries and territories. Built natively for stablecoins and trusted by more than 100 organizations worldwide, Rain delivers secure, scalable infrastructure that makes money move freely and instantly around the world.

You will have the opportunity to deliver massive impact at a hypergrowth company backed by some of the top investors in fintech, crypto, and SaaS. In January 2026, we closed a $250M Series C led by ICONIQ, valuing Rain at $1.95B, with Sapphire Ventures, Dragonfly, Bessemer Venture Partners, Galaxy Ventures, FirstMark, Lightspeed, Norwest, and Endeavor Catalyst also participating. If you're curious, bold, and excited to help shape a borderless financial future, we'd love to talk.

  • Manage vendor performance for the legal team

Risk Management

  • Demonstrated ability to take full ownership of complex projects, including making independent decisions and managing ambiguity

  • Exceptional organization, a detail-oriented approach, and strong judgment and prioritization skills

  • Proven comfort with confidentiality and discretion

  • Ability to communicate effectively with internal and external stakeholders, including senior executives and legal professionals

  • Creative problem-solving skills and a solutions-first mindset

  • Comfort in navigating a rapidly changing environment with multiple moving parts and priorities

  • Proficiency with tools like GSuite or Office365, Adobe Acrobat Pro, DocuSign, data rooms, and contract management software (e.g., SpotDraft or Ironclad)

  • Based in NYC or willingness to travel to our NYC headquarters up to 25% of the time

Nice to have, but not mandatory
