Our Ethos

We believe in an open and flat structure. You will be able to grow into the role that most aligns with your goals. Our team members at all levels have the freedom to explore ideas and impact the roadmap and vision of our company.

About the Role

Reporting to the Head of Business Operations you’ll be a high-leverage operator helping Rain scale. Your job is to drive alignment + execution: building the operating system that keeps us pointed at the right problems and jumping in to provide hands-on support for the most important company priorities.

You’ll alternate between strategy and operational work. One week analyzing spikes in Customer Support data the next week negotiating a long-term deal with a software vendor. If you like working on different problems and you get energy from turning ambiguity into action this role is for you.

What You'll Do
  • Improve Rain’s operating cadence - evolve our planning cycles OKRs and business reviews so teams are aligned on goals tradeoffs and progress.

  • Drive high-impact cross-functional initiatives - lead projects and manage programs that span the entire team.

  • Define and operationalize our metrics - partner with team leads to define Rain’s core KPIs build a simple company scorecard and stand up dashboards that give leaders a real-time view of how we’re doing.

  • Bring structure to ambiguous problems - take fuzzy questions (“which market should we be prioritizing?” “how can we get customers live faster?”) and turn them into clear hypotheses analyses and plans. Then be the driving force that makes it happen.

Who You Are
  • A structured problem-solver who can break messy cross-functional problems into clear components and a pragmatic plan.

  • Able to operate at all altitudes — zooming out to work on strategy with leadership then zooming in to get the work done. You’re eager to solve problems and no work is below you.

  • An excellent communicator and program manager who can synthesize complexity into crisp narratives drive productive meetings and influence without formal authority.

  • A strong bias-for-action operator who moves quickly unblocks themselves and cares about outcomes over polished docs or frameworks.

  • Highly analytical and metrics-minded: comfortable in spreadsheets dashboards and basic SQL/BI and more interested in the “so what” than just the numbers.

  • Low-ego collaborative and energized by being the connective tissue of the organization.

  • Experience in fintech payments crypto card programs or financial infrastructure.

  • 7–10+ years of experience in Business Operations Strategy Consulting Investment Banking PE/VC Product Management or similar high-analytical / high-ownership roles.

Nice to Have
  • Direct experience setting up or running a company operating system (OKRs QBRs planning cycles operating reviews) or program management/transformation function.

  • Comfort with SQL and modern analytics tools (dbt Looker Hex or similar) and working closely with Data/Engineering.

  • Prior experience as a Founder or Product Manager.

  • Experience at a high-growth tech or fintech startup.
