From Orbital's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Orbital is the AI platform for real estate legal work.
Real estate shapes the world around us: our homes, our workplaces and our cultural landmarks. It’s the infrastructure that powers everyday life and is the world's largest asset class. Yet behind every single deal, real estate and legal teams work hard to navigate decades-old complexity; manually connecting documents, hidden obligations, geo-spatial context, and multiple parties into a path forward. We connect the legal and physical record, so that path is clearer than ever before.
Our mission is to make real estate transactions faster, clearer, and less manual.
Here, you'll be part of changing how the deals behind the largest asset class get transacted, and will help shape the future of real estate.
🚀 We’re building at the forefront of AI technology, without losing the deeply human expertise our clients depend on.
🏢 Orbital is built with former practising real estate lawyers and 250+ years of combined legal expertise. We're purpose-built for the complexity of real estate: accelerating due diligence, drafting and negotiation, and deal coordination with legal-grade precision.
💰 We've just raised a $60m Series B, led by Brighton Park Capital, to accelerate our global expansion – $75m raised to date.
🤝 We're trusted by 5,000+ real estate professionals, spanning UK Magic Circle and US Am Law 100 firms, to household names like M&S. Leading firms like BCLP, Orrick, Goodwin, Womble Bond Dickinson and Clifford Chance rely on Orbital to remove the busywork, freeing legal and real estate teams to focus on sharp judgment, standout client service, and closing deals faster.
💡 Working at Orbital means joining a bold, ambitious team, with the trust to take ownership and make a real impact from day one.
This is the most senior People role in the company, reporting to our COO (based in the UK) and partnering closely with our CEO (based in New York). Your direct team is our UK-based People Director, our UK-based People Enablement Partner, and a US-based People Enablement Partner we're currently hiring into the New York office, and you'll shape how it grows from here. Talent Acquisition sits as a separate function and is not part of this remit today.
Your starting point is not a People roadmap handed to you in advance. It is the company strategy, operating model, growth plan, and AI-first ambition, and you'll use that context to set the people agenda.
Orbital is at an inflection point: as the company scales, the challenge is not just adding headcount but building an organization that uses AI deliberately, redesigns work where automation creates leverage, and equips managers and teams to operate effectively in that environment.
Compensation
We offer a competitive starting salary in the range of $250,000-$300,000, depending on experience. We share salary ranges upfront to build trust, reduce bias, and support an inclusive process, even as we continue developing our internal pay structures.
We believe in flexibility, but we're also big on in-person collaboration.
This role is based in our New York office with minimum two days a week
, with additional time in as needed for things like all-hands, interviews, or team sessions. It's about being present when it matters, and balancing autonomy with impact.
401k match and equity options in a fast-growing start-up.
Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents.
20 days paid holiday (plus public holidays), so you can rest, recharge, and take care of what matters most to you.
Generous parental leave policy designed to support all parents and caregivers in balancing family and work life, in addition to any state-mandated paid family leave entitlements.
Professional equipment and personal development budget along with training opportunities to learn and develop your skills.
Pre-tax commuter benefits to help you get to and from the office.
We're in the process of building an inclusive, welcoming culture where everyone feels seen and valued. Expect regular team off-sites, shared lunches, and social events, with something for everyone.
🔒
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.
💰 This hiring range is a reasonable estimate of the base pay range for this position at the time of posting
. Pay is based on several factors, which may include job-related knowledge, skills, experience, and business requirements.
Everyone who works with Orbital goes through background screening before they start. It's part of how we keep Orbital secure, for the people who work here and for the client information we're trusted with.
