About Revolut

With an arsenal of products that span spending, saving, travel, transfers, investing, exchanging and more, our super app has helped 28+ million customers get more from their money. And we’re not done yet.

As we continue our lightning-fast growth, we believe that two things are essential to continuing our success: our people and our culture. We have 6000+ people around the world, from our great offices or remotely, on our mission. We’re looking for brilliant people who love building great products, redefining success, and turning the complexity of a chaotic world into a simple, beautiful solution.

About the role

The Legal team sits at the heart of Revolut and is a very important part of the business. This team supports all other Revolut teams, helping us achieve our goals every day. They are strong, capable, and work across many areas, which is rare for an in-house role but they’re that good.

From structuring credit programmes to launching into new territories, the Legal team does it all. Are you a problem solver? This could be for you.

We’re looking for a Legal Counsel who’ll advise Revolut on compliance and legal issues around our financial products. You should be an expert in consumer credits and financial regulations, who excels as a leader but is also comfortable taking a hands-on role when needed.
