And we're not done yet.

As we continue our lightning-fast growth, two things are essential to continuing our success: our people and our culture. We've been officially certified as a Great Place to Work in recognition of our outstanding employee experience So far, we have 10,000+ people working around the world, from our great offices or remotely, on our mission. And we're looking for more. We want brilliant people that love building great products, love redefining success, and love 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 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

- 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
- 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
