The Legal team sits at the heart of Revolut and it's a very important part of the 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 in a lot of different areas (which isn't that common for an in-house role, we know, but they're just that good)

From structuring credit programmes to launching into new territories, the Legal team does it all! 😎
