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 ?

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-growth, disruptive fintech companies. You'll be joining a dedicated part of the legal team that's responsible for responding to high priority, complex and, sometimes, sensitive topics. But who doesn't love a good challenge? ?

What You'll Be Doing

  • Supporting our expansion and product teams within Revolut, focusing on new market launch
  • Reviewing and assisting with the drafting of corporate documents, commercial agreements (including NDAs), affiliate agreements, and third-party agreements in relation to Revolut's products and services
  • Assisting with drafting, planning, and/or implementing policies and procedures for regulatory matters across different business units
  • Supporting Revolut's legal department in a variety of tasks ranging from regulatory filings, corporate governance, business development, and more
  • Leading document management and other administrative tasks for the legal department
  • Capturing know-how and assisting with knowledge sharing
  • Putting in place and actively seeking new scalable processes to support the legal department
  • Managing operational risk for the legal department
  • Developing and applying strategies for engaging with regulators
  • Advising Revolut on cutting-edge legal issues relating to the continued roll out of some of our key products (such as payments and trading)

What You'll Need

  • To be a qualified lawyer in the UAE
  • 6+ years of experience
  • Fluency in English with excellent communication skills
  • Strong attention to detail
  • Strong motivation to work in a fast-paced environment
  • To be comfortable managing large amounts of documents, as well as seeking out new technological solutions to make the legal department's processes and functions more efficient
  • A high degree of independence, initiative, and decisiveness, and also to contribute successfully to cross-functional teams
  • Excellent organisational skills and an ability to manage multiple projects at once to meet tight deadlines
  • A willingness to roll up your sleeves, learn fast, and take responsibility

Nice to have

  • Fintech experience

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 everyday. 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. That's why we encourage applications from people with diverse backgrounds and experiences to join this multicultural, hard-working team.
