VP of Product presso Orbital

👋 We are Orbital, an AI company on a mission to automate the legal side of real estate transactions. By pairing cutting-edge AI technology (including the best-performing models from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google) with deep legal expertise, we’re reshaping how the world’s most valuable asset class is transacted.

Already trusted by thousands of lawyers and real estate professionals in the UK 🇬🇧 and now expanding rapidly in the US 🇺🇸 . Firms including Clifford Chance, BCLP, and Vinson & Elkins, as well as in-house legal teams at companies like Tesla, use our platform to move faster, reduce risk, and deliver clarity to clients.

Backed by leading investors and industry giants, we’re scaling globally. That means big challenges, high autonomy, and the chance to make an outsized impact.

Our Vision 👀
Real estate transactions shouldn’t depend on lawyers poring over endless documents. We’re building automated solutions that make deals faster, more transparent, and more accessible.

Our Values

• Bold & Ambitious ⚡️ – changing an industry takes courage.
• Power to our People 💪 – we trust exceptional people to own outcomes.
• Question or Commit 🙋 – debate openly, decide quickly.
• Eat that Frog 🐸 – tackle the hardest problems first.

Requirements

Until now, our CTO (Andrew) has acted as the most senior leader for the product function at Orbital. But having 3 x squads and multiple more to be formed, 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).
• Track record of scaling revenue from ~£10M ARR to 5–10x growth.
• B2B SaaS background LegalTech not required; B2B SaaS experience is! (ideally within the world of Agentic AI products)
• Strong strategic thinking and prioritisation skills. You’re able to filter noise and package insights into actionable roadmaps that people believe in.
• Excellent leadership and team-building capability. Someone who is able to hire, mentor and manage a team - structuring for scale.
• Charisma and communication skills. The ability to sell ideas internally, motivate teams, and gain buy-in is a must.
• AI-first mindset. A strong conviction about AI/AGI’s role in product innovation with the flexibility to stay on top of the latest in new models and their capabilities.
• Comfortable being a thought partner and challenger to the CTO.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience in LegalTech or regulated industries.
• STEM background (preferred, not required).
• Experience with international scaling, particularly US market entry.

Benefits

• Matched pension contributions and equity options in a fast growing start-up
• Flexible working hours and location
• 25 days paid holiday (plus bank holidays)
