OVERVIEW

At Rain, we’re building the financial infrastructure that connects people and businesses across borders. To power that mission, we must navigate one of the most complex regulatory environments in the world. Our Licensing Associates ensure that we not only keep up with regulatory demands, but stay ahead of them—unlocking access to new markets and enabling compliant global growth.

As a Licensing Associate, you’ll be responsible for driving our regulatory licensing strategy across the U.S. and international markets. This role sits at the heart of our compliance and expansion roadmap, ensuring we have the approvals in place to operate globally. You will:

• Support the end-to-end process of obtaining and maintaining Money Transmitter Licenses (MTLs) across U.S. states.
• Manage applications for international regulatory licenses (e.g., EMI, VASP, payment institution, or equivalent licenses depending on jurisdiction).
• Draft, review, and submit licensing applications and supporting documentation, ensuring accuracy and timeliness.
• Coordinate with Legal, Compliance, Finance, and Operations teams to ensure license obligations are embedded into day-to-day operations.
• Track deadlines, renewals, and obligations in a centralized system and ensure proactive renewals and regulatory updates.
• Monitor regulatory developments globally and flag changes that may impact licensing strategy or requirements.
• Contribute to process improvements to make licensing more scalable, efficient, and audit-ready.
