About the role

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

Requirements

  • 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.
