About the role

• Legal Solutions Architect supporting commercial real estate legal customers at Orbital. Client-facing role driving pre- and post-sales support with a focus on AI solutions.

Responsibilities

• As a Legal Solutions Architect (UK) at Orbital, you’ll sit at the intersection of commercial real estate law, product, and go-to-market execution.
• This is a client-facing role supporting our commercial real estate legal customers both pre- and post-sales:
• Pre-sales: partnering with Account Executives to win new business - running discovery, tailoring demos, shaping pilots and aligning Orbital Copilot to real-world transactional workflows.
• Post-sales: partnering with Customer Success to onboard teams effectively, coach users through change, and drive adoption, retention, and expansion across firms and legal teams.
• You’ll be a trusted advisor to partners, PSLs/knowledge teams, innovation leaders, and fee-earners - and a key internal 'Voice of the Customer' to Product, Engineering, Sales, and Marketing.

Requirements

• You are a UK-qualified lawyer (solicitor or barrister) and are currently practising (or very recently practising) in commercial real estate.
• You have ~4–8+ years PQE (we care more about depth of experience and credibility with fee-earners than a strict number).
• You understand commercial real estate legal workflows end-to-end, with experience across areas such as acquisitions/disposals, due diligence, leasing, development, real estate finance, construction, and/or title reporting.
• You enjoy being client-facing and are comfortable advising senior stakeholders (partners, heads of real estate, PSL/knowledge, innovation teams).
• You can break down complex legal work into clear, structured steps and explain concepts crisply to different audiences.
• You’re highly tech-literate, curious, and motivated to learn how LLM-based systems add value - including safe and responsible adoption in legal environments.
• You thrive in a fast-moving, collaborative startup environment where priorities evolve and you take ownership.

Benefits

• Competitive salary + performance-based bonus/commission (role dependent) + equity options
• Matched pension contributions
• Flexible working hours and location
• 25 days paid holiday (plus bank holidays)
• Professional equipment and a personal development budget, with training opportunities
• Cycle-to-work scheme
• An inclusive community enjoying all-company off-sites, lunches, and socials
