Full Job Description
🚀 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. OUR VISION 🏆 We're building the AI that runs real estate transactions end-to-end. Today, property deals depend on overworked lawyers buried in paperwork and reports - a system that's slow, expensive, and stuck in the last century. We're replacing it with autonomous AI that handles the work from instruction to completion, so deals move at the speed of decisions, not documents. OUR MISSION 💪🏽 Our mission is to help any professional or individual involved in a property transaction to properly understand what they are getting into, from the outset, before incurring legal fees. OUR VALUES 🐸 - We are Bold & Ambitious ⚡ (changing an entire industry is hard!) - We give Power to our People 💪 (we give exceptional people autonomy to succeed) - We Question or Commit 🙋 ****(we welcome debate, but love reaching quick decisions) - … and we E
