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

As we continue our lightning-fast growth,‌ 2 things are essential to our success: our people and our culture. In recognition of our outstanding employee experience, we've been certified as a Great Place to Work™. So far, we have 10,000+ people working around the world, from our offices and remotely, to help us achieve our mission. And we're looking for more brilliant people. People 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

Communication is an inseparable part of everything we do at Revolut. There would be no successful product, service, employee, team, process — and the list can go on — if there was no efficient communication around it.

That's why our Communications team is made of extremely creative and reasonable individuals. They speak with the right words to the right people at the right time. Even the most complex topics turn out to sound simple and clear when communicated by these experts.

Copywriters and Language Owners are the foundation of all our communications, internally and externally. From brand, through people, to product, they define our tone of voice and strategic messaging to deliver copy that engages and excites.

If you feel like you're both creative and technical, keep reading. If you can easily put yourself in target audience shoes, keep reading. And if you know how to weave storytelling into communications, tap the link to apply!
