Description
UK-based financial technology company Revolut announced the creation of 170 new jobs in Portugal: 100 jobs will be created in the sales area, the remaining 70 new positions are expected to include roles in the areas of financial crime, data analysis, operations, back-end and front-end engineering, learning and development teams, copywriting, recruitment, support and customer support.
The company states that it has already begun to transform into a flexible work policy, which has been operated as a pilot programme during the COVID-19 pandemic and it will allow workers to decide together with their managers how often they will work from the office or telework.
The 100 new positions in sales area announced in Portugal are part of the global recruitment campaign that will lead to the creation of a sales force of 1,000 across France, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
