What the job involves
- Rain is seeking to hire an attorney who has experience working on a range of employment-law matters and on litigation matters that are relevant to the Company’s lines of business and operations (e.g., contractual disputes or other issues with service providers)
- In addition, the attorney in this position will be responsible for supporting the Company’s Procurement team, working on a diverse range of contracts with the Company’s service providers
- The attorney in this position will report directly to the Company’s General Counsel. On some matters, the attorney in this position may be reporting to, and working together with, the Company’s Senior Counsel
- The position is designed to be Corporate Counsel, with opportunities for advancement and promotion in the Company’s Legal Department
- You will be responsible for focusing on core areas of the Company’s Legal Department: (A) Employment Law; (B) Litigation; and (C) Procurement Contracts
- Employment Law: You will be the lead attorney who provides day-to-day advice to the Company’s People team, including advice relating to the Company’s human resources policies and processes
- You also will be the lead attorney who is responsible for addressing the Company’s interests in potential claims relating to employment-law issues
- Litigation: You will be the lead attorney responsible for providing day-to-day legal advice relating to the Company’s potential or threatened claims, as well as any civil actions taken by or against the Company
- In this capacity, you will be working alongside the Company’s Senior Counsel. You will be responsible for preparing assessments of potential risks to the Company (whether as potential defendant or potential claimant) relating to the claim or action, as well as developing options that the Company could consider for any settlement
- Procurement Contracts: You will be the lead attorney responsible for providing day-to-day legal advice relating to the Company’s contract with its service providers
- N this capacity, you will be responsible for working directly with the Company’s Procurement team to review and provide guidance on the contracts that service providers propose to the Company. For certain service providers, you will be working alongside the Company’s Senior Counsel or the General Counsel
- Taken together and over time, the attorney in this position should be striving to work in a more senior position in the Company’s Legal Department
- For each core area, you will be expected to research the applicable or potentially relevant areas of law, analyze the contracts or other instruments that may grant rights to (or impose obligations on) the Company, and prepare written analyses to the Senior Counsel or the General Counsel
- Apart from those three core areas of responsibilities (i.e., employment-law matters, litigation, and contracts with service providers), you will be expected to enable the Company to succeed in its business lines and operations by performing the following functions:
- Advise on and lead investigations of whistleblower-related matters; and
- Advise on, and collaborate on, revisions to the Company’s internal policies and procedures, including policies that do not relate to employment-law matters
- Over time, you also will be trained to administer the standard contracts that the Company has developed for its core areas of operations—and expected to apply your own expertise, good judgment, and professional skills to improve the administration of those contracts going forward
- As part of your responsibilities for working on the Company’s own standard contracts, you may be called upon to help the Sales teams with concerns or questions raised from time to time by the Company’s business customers

Our take
Financial difficulties continue to be a leading cause of employee stress, and waiting for payday can cause periods of cash drought where workers are vulnerable to overdraft fees and predatory lending. Rain provides employees with access to an amount of their earned wage, which is reimbursed by employers per their regular pay cycle.
Although paying employees more often seems a solution to the payday problem, it is often too demanding for payroll departments, and brings associated costs that companies would rather avoid. Rain is free to employers who offer it as a benefit for their employees, and it integrates with payroll systems easily. Instead of paying high interest on a payday loan, employees pay a small fee for the transaction when they access pay before payday.
Rain is backed by Clear Haven Capital, a company offering balance sheet capital solutions for financial services. Clear Haven has invested in other ascendant fintechs such as Walnut and Torpago, making it a promising partner. Rain's impressive investment will fund its continued US expansion, further develop technology and infrastructure, as well as contribute to increasing marketing efforts.
