Béatrice Cossa-Dumurgier, the CEO of the western European HQ, will oversee the ambitious expansion.
Neobank Revolut has announced the generation of at least 400 jobs in Europe, as the organisation intends to complete work on a new Paris-based headquarters.
The roles will span a number of critical areas, such as compliance, risk management, cybersecurity, internal controls, financial crime prevention, finance, legal, sales and product operations.
Around 200 of the jobs will be located in France and additional roles are to be distributed across other key western European markets, including Ireland, Germany, Italy, Portugal and Spain. 80 experts are to be employed within the first year, with all positions expected to be filled by the end of 2029.
Additional leadership appointments are also expected to be announced in the coming weeks, with recruitment efforts taking place in parallel with Revolut’s ongoing application for a banking licence in France.
Béatrice Cossa-Dumurgier, the CEO of Revolut Western Europe commented on the news, stating: “We’re already hard at work building our new western Europe headquarters in Paris and that comes with a major hiring push across the region. From France to Spain, Italy, Germany, Portugal and Ireland, we plan to hire over 400 people by 2029 to strengthen our local operations.
“Western Europe is home to a massive pool of talent and we intend to make the most of it, attracting top professionals eager to shape the future of banking and build the next generation of financial services.”
Neobanking is becoming an increasingly mainstream form of banking, as more and more financial institutions and individuals embrace non-traditional models. Late last year, data revealed that three-quarters of adults in Ireland have a Revolut account, as the Irish branch reached 3m customers.
Additionally, neobank Bunq recently expanded into the crypto space via a partnership with cryptocurrency exchange Kraken.
