About the role

The Legal team sits at the heart of Revolut and is a core part of the business. Members of the team provide front-line guidance and support to all areas of the company, contributing to decisions that impact Revolut’s growth every day. They’re special, they’re strong-willed, and they work on a lot of different areas (which isn't that common for an in-house role, we know, but they're just that good).

The breadth of work you'll encounter (and level of commercial involvement) is pretty unique for an in-house role, from structuring credit programmes to launching into new territories. We’re looking for a Legal Counsel who’ll advise local management and the Human Resources team on a broad range of employment issues.
