Legal Talent Acquisition Partner

We're on a mission to make real estate transactions smarter, faster, and friction-free.

Real estate is the world's largest asset class, yet the legal processes and tools behind it remain slow, manual, and underinvested. Lawyers must review dense documents line by line and piece together information across silos, all while clients demand faster, more transparent due diligence.

That's where we come in. Orbital Copilot is the AI assistant built exclusively for commercial real estate law. Developed with former practicing real estate lawyers, it accelerates complex due diligence by up to 70% while delivering legal-grade precision.

We're trusted by leading firms like Goodwin, BCLP, and Ropes & Gray to remove the busywork so legal teams can focus on what they do best: applying sharp legal judgment, delivering standout client service, and getting deals over the line faster.

Working at Orbital means joining a team that's reimagining how real estate transactions get done - moving fast, working collaboratively, and giving people the ownership to make a real impact from day one.

The Job, in a Nutshell

We're hiring a Legal Talent Partner to lead hiring for some of our most critical roles as we expand our US footprint. You'll own the strategy and execution for recruiting Legal Engineers and Legal Solution Architects-the specialists who combine deep real estate legal expertise with the ability to build and shape market-leading AI products.

This is a hands-on role for someone who loves the hunt, speaks the language of attorneys, and can inspire top legal talent to transition into high-impact roles in legal tech. You'll be part advocate, part educator, part matchmaker-helping qualified attorneys understand a new career path in a rapidly evolving space.

Own hiring for US legal specialist roles

• Partner with Product, GTM, and Leadership to define role requirements and success profiles for Legal Engineers and Legal Solution Architects.

• Build and manage full-cycle hiring processes that balance speed with deep assessment quality.

Build credibility in a niche talent market

• Engage with attorneys, legal professionals, and ex-practitioners-speaking their language, understanding specializations, and assessing real real-estate-law depth.

• Act as the face of Orbital's legal talent brand in the US.

Create compelling talent attraction strategies

• Position Orbital as the career destination for attorneys looking for meaningful, applied, non-practicing roles in AI and legal tech.

• Craft targeted outreach, campaigns, and narratives that connect with the motivations of attorneys seeking change.

Deliver an exceptional candidate experience

• Guide candidates through a career shift-from private practice or in-house roles to legal tech-addressing concerns, educating on craft expectations, and showcasing growth opportunities.

• Manage a structured interview process with high clarity, consistency, and candidate care.

Partner deeply with hiring teams

• Coach interviewers on how to assess legal and technical aptitude.

• Provide clear market insight on availability, seniority profiles, compensation norms, and competitive pressures.

• Influence decisions with data and sound judgment.

We need someone with the right kind of chops. Here's what we're looking for:

• You've worked in legal recruiting-either in-house, agency, or within a legal-tech environment-and understand how to identify qualified attorneys.

• You know real estate law, or you can learn it fast. You don't need to be an attorney, but you need enough fluency to assess specialization, seniority, and relevance.

• You're comfortable engaging attorneys as career-changers. You understand their motivations, their objections, and what excites them about tech.

• You can build pipelines in niche markets. You know how to engage passive candidates, map specialist communities, and convert curiosity into interest.

• You've supported hiring in high-growth environments. You can balance speed and rigor while working with demanding hiring teams.

• You're a storyteller. You can articulate why Orbital is uniquely positioned in the US market, and why these roles are high-impact, non-traditional paths for attorneys.

• You're data-driven and structured. You build clear processes, bring insight to decision-making, and communicate confidently with leaders.

Nice-to-haves

• Experience hiring for legal tech, legal engineering, legal operations, or product-adjacent legal roles.

• Familiarity with US legal qualifications, state bar requirements, and the real estate legal landscape.

• Experience hiring talent across multiple jurisdictions or scaling teams in a start-up/Series B environment.

Why This Role Matters

These hires sit at the heart of Orbital's product and GTM engine. They shape how our technology is built, adopted, and scaled across the US legal ecosystem. The right Legal Talent Partner will unlock access to a rare pool of specialists-and will directly accelerate Orbital's growth in our most important market.

Benefits

• 401(k) Plan: Match 100% of contribution up to 4% of salary.

• Paid Time Off (PTO): 20-days per year.

• Sick Time off: 40 hours

• Health Insurance: Competitive medical, dental, and vision plan.

• Professional Development: $1,200 stipend per year

• Commuter Benefits: Allocate pre-tax earnings to cover eligible commuting expenses.

Security is everyone's responsibility at Orbital. We ask all team members to follow our security policies, complete regular awareness training, and handle sensitive data with care in line with ISO 27001 standards. Spot something unusual? Reporting risks or incidents quickly helps us maintain the strong culture of security and compliance we all depend on.

At Orbital, we're committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. We especially welcome applications from people who are traditionally underrepresented in tech. Even if you don't meet every single requirement, or if the right role isn't listed yet, we'd still love to hear from you.
