About Revolut
People deserve more from their money. More visibility, more control, and more freedom. Since 2015, Revolut has been on a mission to deliver just that. Our powerhouse of products — including spending, saving, investing, exchanging, travelling, and more — help our 45+ million customers get more from their money every day.
As we continue our lightning-fast growth, 2 things are essential to our success: our people and our culture. In recognition of our outstanding employee experience, we've been certified as a Great Place to Work™. 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 as one of our most important areas of business. This focused 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 across myriad different areas. We know this isn’t super common for an in-house role, but the team is just that good 🧠
From structuring credit programmes to launching into new territories, the Legal team does it all. We’re looking for a Legal Counsel who’ll advise Revolut on employment issues to local management and the Human Resources team on a broad range of employment issues.
