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 every day. They're special, they're strong-willed, and they work in 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. Are you a problem solver? This one's for you.

We’re looking for a Legal Counsel who’ll advise Revolut on compliance and legal issues around our financial products 📣

As an expert in consumer credit and financial regulations, you'll excel at being a leader while daring to undertake a hands-on role when needed.

• Structuring and expanding Revolut’s products while managing regulatory expectations, requirements, and applications
