Additional Information

🚀 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've just raised a $60m Series B to accelerate our UK/US expansion. 🤝 We're trusted by leading firms like Goodwin and BCLP 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. Role Overview 🔎 You'll take your commercial real estate expertise and turn it into the logic that powers Orbital Copilot. Instead of manual doc review, you'll automate workflows for acquisitions, leases, and title analysis for AmLaw 100 and Magic Circle firms. You'll help us move an entire industry away from archaic processes by building AI that actually thinks like a real estate lawyer. The opportunity is real - you'll have genuine influence over what we build and how we build it.
