Our powerhouse of products — including spending, saving, investing, exchanging, travelling, and more — help our 60+ million customers get more from their money every day.

So far, we have 10,000+ people working around the world, from our offices and remotely, to help us achieve our mission. And we're looking for more brilliant people. People who love building great products, redefining success, and turning the complexity of a chaotic world into the simplicity of a beautiful solution.

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 isn't 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-growing, disruptive fintech companies.

• Supporting the legal team with regulatory filings, governance tasks, and business initiatives
• Leading document management and other administrative tasks for the legal department
