Who we’re looking forYou don’t need to tick every box. But the people who’ll thrive in this role 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 specialism, 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 rigour 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.
Nice-to-haves (don’t worry if not)
- 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.
Why this role mattersThese hires sit right at the heart of how Orbital is built and sold. They shape how our technology gets made, adopted, and scaled across the legal world. Get this right and you’ll unlock a rare pool of specialists, and directly speed up our growth in the markets that matter most to us. It’s about as high-impact as a talent role gets here, with a lot of ownership from day one.
