Company mission
To make property transactions radically more transparent, quick and easy to transact.
Role
Who you are
- You don’t need to tick every box. But the people who’ll thrive here tend to:
- Have recruited lawyers before, whether in-house, in an agency, or in legal tech, and know how to spot the real thing
- Know real estate law, or be the kind of person who’ll learn it fast. You don’t need to be a lawyer, but you do need enough fluency to judge specialty, seniority, and relevance
- Be comfortable talking to lawyers as career-changers. You get their motivations, their hesitations, and what excites them about tech
- Build pipelines where they don’t already exist: engaging passive candidates, mapping specialist communities, and turning a bit of curiosity into real interest
- Have hired in fast-moving, high-growth places, and can balance speed with rigor without dropping either
- Tell a good story. You can explain why Orbital is different, and why these roles are a smart move for a lawyer
- Be structured and data-led. You build clear processes, and you’re comfortable talking numbers with senior people
Desirable
- You’ve hired for legal tech, legal engineering, legal operations, or other product-adjacent legal roles
- You know your way around US state bar and/or UK qualification routes, and the real estate legal world
- You’ve hired across multiple jurisdictions, or helped scale a team through a Series B startup
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Legal Talent Partner to take ownership of some of our most important (and honestly, hardest-to-fill) hires as we scale across the UK and US
- You’d own the strategy and the day-to-day for recruiting our Legal Engineers and Legal Solutions Architects: the specialists who pair deep real estate legal expertise with the ability to shape market-leading AI products
- There’s a pipeline of 15+ specialist roles waiting over the next 12 months, so there’s plenty to get your teeth into
- This one’s hands-on. It’s perfect for someone who loves the hunt, speaks the language of lawyers, and gets a kick out of helping brilliant people see a different kind of career. You’ll be part advocate, part educator, part matchmaker, showing qualified lawyers that there’s a genuinely exciting, non-practicing path waiting for them in legal tech
- Work closely with Product, GTM, and leadership to define what “great” looks like for each Legal Engineer and Legal Solutions Architect role
- Run full-cycle hiring that balances speed with proper depth of assessment, often across several roles and hiring managers at once
- Talk to lawyers, legal professionals, and ex-practitioners in their own language. Understand their specialties, and get a real read on their real-estate-law depth
- Be the face of Orbital’s legal talent brand
- Position Orbital as the place lawyers go when they want meaningful, applied, non-practicing work in AI and legal tech
- Build the outreach, campaigns, and stories that connect with what makes a lawyer want to make a move
- Guide people through a big career shift, from private practice or in-house into legal tech. Take their questions seriously, set expectations clearly, and show them what they could grow into
- Run a structured, consistent process where nobody’s left wondering where they stand
- Coach interviewers on how to assess both legal and technical ability
- Bring the market insight: who’s out there, what they expect, what they’re paid, and who else is chasing them
- Help the team make confident calls, backed by data and good judgment
Our take
Legal reasoning requires smart and experienced law professionals, and collating information and data takes up their valuable time. That's why Orbital has used foundational AI models to build an assistant for law professionals. The company builds SaaS solutions that transform how property professionals work by leveraging cutting-edge Generative AI and LLM technologies.
The company's products aggregate geospatial, property, and legal data from diverse sources to provide an unprecedented view of legal risk attached to properties. This provides real estate lawyers and property professionals with a one-stop-shop for property due diligence, allowing a vastly more transparent and efficient process whilst providing a better quality of service to clients.
Orbital's AI solutions are already used by thousands of lawyers and commercial property professionals across the UK and the US. It plans to grow its presence in the US and scale its team to achieve this objective. There is a huge opportunity to transform the way that property, the world's largest asset class, is transacted and bring it into the 21st century.
