About the role

 

The Legal team sits at the heart of Revolut and it’s a very important part of the business ⭐️

We’re looking for a Legal Counsel who’ll advise Revolut on compliance and legal issues around our financial products. An expert in consumer credit and financial regulations to undertake a hands-on role but know how to lead when needed.
