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 75+ million customers get more from their money every day.

As we continue our lightning-fast growth, two things are essential to our success: our people and our culture. We are certified as a Great Place to Work™, with 13,000+ people worldwide working to help us achieve our mission. We’re looking for more brilliant people—those 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 turns complexity into clarity by partnering with and embedding ourselves in the business from the first stage of product or project launch, helping the business deliver them. We provide sharp, practical advice that helps the business move fast while staying protected. From structuring products to navigating new markets, the Legal team ensures growth is secure, compliant, and built for the long term.

We’re looking for a Junior Legal Counsel to sit within our growing team in the UK.

The breadth of work you’ll encounter (and level of commercial involvement) is unique for an in-house role, so you’ll have a large degree of responsibility for Revolut’s ongoing development and growth.

• Advising on compliance and legal issues surrounding structuring of new and existing financial features
• Helping to develop our products, while managing regulatory expectations and requirements
• Handling significant and complex legal matters with short turnaround times
• Negotiating critical commercial and banking terms to facilitate growth
• Assisting on a range of matters with the Head of Legal and other senior stakeholders

What you'll need

• 1+ years of PQE
• Excellent academic and law firm credentials
• Experience advising on financial regulations in the UK and Europe, such as FSMA, the FCA Handbook, BCOBS, SYSC, and PSD II
• Experience advising on general banking commercial contracts
• Sound judgement, composure under pressure, and a collaborative mindset
• Confidence making decisions where there’s ambiguity or incomplete information
• Exceptional stakeholder management and communication skills
• Fluency in English

Building a global financial super app isn’t enough. Our Revoluters are a priority, and that’s why in 2021 we launched our inaugural D&I Framework, designed to help us thrive and grow every day. We’re not just doing this because it’s the right thing to do—we’re doing it because we know that seeking out diverse talent and creating an inclusive workplace is the way to create exceptional, innovative products and services for our customers. We encourage applications from people with diverse backgrounds and experiences to join this multicultural, hard-working team.
