About the team
The Marketing & Communications team at Rain owns the full customer lifecycle—from first touch to long-term expansion—by shaping how the market understands who we are and why we matter. We’re building the brand in a rapidly emerging category at the intersection of global payments, tokenized money, and financial infrastructure. That means crafting a credible, differentiated narrative for enterprise brands and scaled crypto companies alike, while tailoring our approach across the U.S. and the many regions where Rain operates. It’s a rare opportunity to define a category, tell a complex story with clarity, and directly support revenue growth in a fast-moving global business.
