About The Position

Rainforest is an early-stage payments-as-a-service startup focused on making monetizing payments fair and simple for vertically focused software platforms. We aim to help small-to-mid sized platforms add value to their small business customers through embedded payments without operational burdens. Led by an experienced fintech founder and backed by a Top 10 VC firm, Rainforest is poised to make a significant impact. We are seeking a Community & Content Marketer who is passionate about growing the vertical software community and driving meaningful engagement. This role will be responsible for promoting Rainforest and Vertex, shaping programming, and expanding reach on social media, with a focus on year-round community growth beyond bi-annual conferences.

Vertex is our flagship initiative, a premier event for the vertical software ecosystem, bringing together vSaaS founders, executives, and investors for an invite-only conference. The goal is to transform Vertex into the go-to year-round community for vertical software operators, consistently driving awareness and demand for Rainforest's offerings.
