Who is Rainforest?
Rainforest is an early stage payments-as-a-service startup that has developed a solution that makes monetizing payments for vertically focused software platforms fair and simple.
We focus on small-to-mid sized platforms that want to add value to their small business customers through embedded payments — and want to do so without adding operational or regulatory burdens or costs.
Led by a successful repeat fintech founder with deep knowledge of the industry, and with venture backing from a Top 10 VC firm, Rainforest is well positioned to make an impact in the payments-as-a-service space, and we're looking for new team members who want to be a part of this journey!

What Will You Do:
Guide and manage platform clients throughout the integration process, from the initial setup, to testing and deployment, and through go-live
Provide guidance and support to platform clients on best practices for payment processing, optimization of margins and revenue, and maximizing adoption rates
Partner with our client platforms to understand their business goals and objectives, develop strategies to achieve them, and serve as a key trusted advisor and advocate for enabling their payments growth and success
Analyze client data to identify trends and opportunities for improvement
Provide expert advice to platform clients on go-to-market strategies, including product positioning, pricing, and messaging
Work collaboratively with cross-functional teams – including sales, product, and engineering – to ensure continued success

Deep knowledge of credit card processing and ACH processing, as well as interchange and interchange drivers
Proven track record of helping to grow embedded payments
High customer EQ and a desire to build strong relationships internally and externally
Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects simultaneously

What We Do
Rainforest is a Payments-as-a-Service (PaaS) provider. We help software companies build and optimize embedded financial services so that they can provide a best-in-class payments experience for their end merchants without the risk, compliance, and operational burdens of registering as a payments facilitator with the card networks.
Analysts estimate that by 2030, 75% of all payments globally will be processed via software versus traditional banking channels. Rainforest helps software platforms navigate this massive evolution, by enabling them to drive significant new revenue and improve customer retention by enabling their customers (“merchants”) to accept and send payments.
Rainforest is the only payments provider built from the ground up to specifically support the unique needs of vertical software platforms. We provide highly-customizable, low-code, white-label integration technology, fully embedded payments and reporting, and a platform-specific merchant underwriting model.
Our PaaS approach is unique because clients don’t have to make tradeoffs between a lightweight referral partnership and building payments infrastructure in-house. Instead, they get the benefits of both worlds: strong unit economics with no upfront costs, plus full ownership and portability of their customer data.
Rainforest is led by industry experts, former vertical-SaaS executives, and payments consultants who have spent decades in the payments buyer’s seat. We built Rainforest to be the payments provider we always wanted.
