About the Team
You'll join Rain's lean legal team and take a leading role in our M&A and corporate development efforts as we scale globally. You'll operate as a strategic partner to Rain's leadership — identifying, structuring, negotiating, and closing acquisitions, investments, and other strategic transactions — while also supporting the broader corporate legal function across a fast-moving, heavily regulated fintech platform.
What you'll do
Lead M&A execution: manage all legal aspects of acquisitions, divestitures, and strategic investments from LOI through closing and post-closing integration, including due diligence coordination, deal structuring, and negotiation of definitive agreements.
Draft and negotiate transaction documents: purchase agreements, merger agreements, and ancillary documents (escrow agreements, transition services agreements, employment and consulting agreements, IP assignments), plus board and stockholder consents.
Coordinate due diligence: partner cross-functionally with Finance, Compliance, Risk, Product, and Engineering to identify and assess deal risks and structure appropriate protections.
Advise on corporate structure and expansion: support entity formation and structuring for international expansion, working with local counsel as Rain enters new markets.
Support regulatory approvals in M&A, including change-of-control filings with state regulators (e.g., money transmitter license transfers) or foreign financial authorities (e.g., EMI, VASP, or payment institution license approvals).
Support general corporate matters, including drafting and negotiating intercompany agreements, advising on corporate structuring, and handling other corporate legal needs as they arise.
Collaborate across the legal team: partner with colleagues focused on licensing, compliance, and regulatory matters to align corporate transactions with Rain's regulatory obligations and licensing requirements.
You are likely to succeed if you have:
4 to 8 years of experience in corporate law, with meaningful M&A transaction experience (law firm, in-house, or a combination).
Hands-on experience drafting and negotiating acquisition agreements, investment documents, and related ancillary agreements.
Strong understanding of corporate governance, entity management, and Delaware corporate law.
