Legal Talent Acquisition Partner

About Orbital Orbital is building the next generation of AI-powered legal technology. Our products enable law firms, legal service providers, and businesses to automate, accelerate, and de-risk complex transactions. We’re scaling fast across the US—and we’re building a world-class team to power that growth. 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.
