About the role

The Legal team sits at the heart of Revolut and it's a very important part of the business. This lovely bunch supports all other Revolut teams, helping us achieve our goals each and every day 🚀

They're special, they're strong-willed and they work on a lot of different areas (which is not that common for an in-house role, we know, but they're just that good). From structuring credit programmes to launching into new territories, the Legal team does it all!

We hire both generalists (typically corporate/commercial solicitors) as well as specialists (such as compliance), alongside operations analysts who are all responsible to make Revolut grow. Now it's your turn to WOW us! ✨

You'll work on some of the most exciting and challenging legal issues that impact fast-growth, disruptive fintech companies.
