VP of Product

🚀 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 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.

Requirements

Until now, our CTO (Andrew) has acted as the most senior leader for the product function at Orbital. But having 5 x squads and doubling over the next year, GTM expansion in the US, and ARR targets doubling annually, our current ways of working will evolve to elevate and support our scaling efforts.

We need a VP of Product who has:

• Been here before: scaled from Series A/B → C+, grown a product org from ~4 PMs to 10+. You’ve seen what works and what doesn’t and are excited about bringing that knowledge to tackle the challenge.

• Introduced structure without killing startup agility: frameworks, prioritisation, best ways of working all excite you - but you’re still excited about what a start-ups brings and how you can cut through the noise to add value.

• Balanced commercial and product priorities: You will have helped a business scale revenue while keeping innovation alive.

• The conviction and charisma to sell ideas: Getting your teams, peers, and exec stakeholders bought-in to your ideas is your superpower.

This isn’t about reinventing the company’s strategy overnight. It’s about helping us professionalise, separate signal from noise, and make consistently smarter decisions as we scale.

🙌 What You Get To Do

Product Strategy & Execution

• Evolve and communicate a clear product strategy that ties directly to ARR and growth targets.

• Translate disparate information (Slack threads, customer input, internal feedback) into structured, actionable roadmaps.

• Keep Orbital on the front edge of the AI innovation curve. Champion an AGI-pilled product vision that leverages the latest model capabilities to drive step-change improvements for customers.

• Balance near-term revenue-driving initiatives with longer-term bets.

• Build a scalable system for product feedback, prioritisation and roadmap communication.

Team Leadership & Scaling

• Take ownership of all PMs (currently 4, growing quickly) and design the org structure as the team expands.

• Build, mentor, and inspire a team of high-performing PMs - with the freedom to introduce roles that are needed such as researchers or product ops as needed.

• Build a scalable product structure over the next 6–12 months so the team can grow without creating unnecessary layers or bottlenecks.

• Grow future leaders within the product org.

Cross-Functional Leadership/Collaboration

• Act as the “voice of Product” within the exec team, while also being a peer to other VPs (AI, Engineering, Design, Legal Engineering).

• Partner closely with GTM leadership (Sales, Marketing, Customer Success) to align product with commercial strategy, especially as US expansion ramps.

• Work with AI and Engineering peers to stay ahead of AI evolution and embed it into the product roadmap.

• Smooth friction points between Product, Legal Engineers, and LSAs.

Thought Partnership

• Act as a sounding board for the CTO and VP of AI, bringing an external perspective and the confidence to challenge.

• Bring frameworks, best practices, and lessons learned from scaling journeys elsewhere.

👀 What We’re Looking For

Must-Haves

• Proven experience scaling a product org from Series A/B → C (ideally 4 PMs → a 10+ person, high-performing product team).

• Comfortable being a thought partner and challenger to the CTO.
