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're trusted by leading firms like Goodwin, BCLP, and Ropes & Gray 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.

You'll work closely with Sales, Product, and Marketing to drive adoption, retention, and expansion - whilst helping define what "world-class" customer success looks like as we scale. You'll be measured on customer outcomes: product adoption, retention (via GRR), expansion (via NRR) and your ability to build trusted relationships with teams using Orbital in high-stakes transactions. You'll get a chance to: Own customer relationships end-to-end - from onboarding through to renewal and expansion, acting as the primary point of contact for your accounts. Become a product expert - guiding customers to the right workflows and use cases across our 3 products Orbital Residential, Orbital Witness and Orbital Copilot. Drive rapid customer activation by leading structured onboarding, training sessions, and early-stage adoption plans that optimise time-to-value. Build deep, trusted relationships with legal professionals and senior stakeholders, understanding their goals and embedding Orbital as a critical part of their workflow. Proactively monitor customer health, usage, and engagement, identifying risks early and turning opportunities into expansion and advocacy. Act as the voice of the customer internally, feeding back insights to Product and influencing roadmap decisions based on real customer needs. Help to build scalable CS processes, playbooks, and best practices as Orbital continues to grow. You'll Excel Here If You Have Required: 3+ years of experience in Customer Success, Account Management, or a similar customer-facing role in B2B SaaS. A proven ability to own customer outcomes, drive adoption, mitigate churn, surface and close expansion opportunities. Exceptional communication and relationship building skills.

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're trusted by leading firms like Goodwin, BCLP, and Ropes & Gray 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.

You'll be measured on customer outcomes: product adoption, retention (via GRR), expansion (via NRR) and your ability to build trusted relationships with teams using Orbital in high-stakes transactions. You'll get a chance to: Own customer relationships end-to-end - from onboarding through to renewal and expansion, acting as the primary point of contact for your accounts. Become a product expert - guiding customers to the right workflows and use cases across our 3 products Orbital Residential, Orbital Witness and Orbital Copilot. Drive rapid customer activation by leading structured onboarding, training sessions, and early-stage adoption plans that optimise time-to-value. Build deep, trusted relationships with legal professionals and senior stakeholders, understanding their goals and embedding Orbital as a critical part of their workflow. Proactively monitor customer health, usage, and engagement, identifying risks early and turning opportunities into expansion and advocacy. Act as the voice of the customer internally, feeding back insights to Product and influencing roadmap decisions based on real customer needs. Help to build scalable CS processes, playbooks, and best practices as Orbital continues to grow.
