🚀 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.

Project Manager

Why This Role Exists

The CTO is running multiple high-priority initiatives simultaneously — product, engineering, replatforming, US/UK expansion, and cross-functional coordination across five team leads.

This Project Manager role exists to be the connective tissue: ensuring nothing drops, everyone is aligned, and the CTO can focus on the highest-leverage decisions.

It's not a traditional PM role - there's no backlog to groom or roadmap to own. It's hands-on, fast-moving, and deliberately broad

Scope of Work

Core Responsibilities

• Own day-to-day coordination across multiple projects and products
• Serve as the communication hub between engineering leads, product, design, marketing, and external partners - proactively tracking blockers, escalating where needed, and keeping the CTO informed
• Schedule and run key meetings; create and maintain project decks, timelines, and status updates
• Manage inputs across teams (including marketing, brand, and design coordination with external stakeholders)
• Own tracking of tasks and deliverables across teams, ensuring momentum on parallel workstreams

Key Deliverables — First 3 Months

• Establish a reliable project tracking system across all active CTO workstreams
• Deliver regular CTO briefings / status updates with clear owners, timelines, and RAG status
• Manage the coordination layer of projects through testing, hardening, and launch phases
• Support any US/UK cross-team scheduling and communication requirements

  Ideal Candidate Profile

  Must-Have

  • Exceptional written and verbal communication - gravitas, clarity, concision

  • Demonstrably fast learner - STEM-educated, strong academic and professional pedigree
  • Hands-on AI fluency - active user of Claude, ChatGPT, or equivalent; genuine interest in AI
  • Track record of moving the needle on complex, multi-stakeholder projects
  • Generalist mindset - comfortable picking up whatever the business needs, no task too small or too large
  • Ideally based in or able to commute to London (Farringdon)

  Nice-to-Have

  • Experience in a startup or scale-up environment (Series A–C)
  • Background in product management, operations, or strategy consulting
  • Familiarity with LegalTech, PropTech, or B2B SaaS
  • Comfortable with public-facing comms (LinkedIn, X) and building external presence on behalf of the CTO

🔒 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.
