🚀 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’ve just raised a $60m Series B to accelerate our UK/US expansion.

🤝 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.

The Role

We are looking for a NY-based Sales Manager to lead and develop our Account Executive team. This is a role for someone who thrives on building high-performing sales teams, improving execution, and raising the bar on how we hire, onboard, and develop AEs.

• Improve AE ramp time and first-year quota attainment through hands-on coaching and structured development plans.

• Build a culture of accountability, high performance, and continuous improvement.

Sales Execution and Process

• Own pipeline hygiene and forecasting accuracy for your team (using MEDDPICC).

• Identify and address choke points in the sales cycle (currently averaging ~42 days).

Hiring and Talent Development

• Partner with Talent on AE hiring, ensuring rigorous and structured interview processes that lead to strong hiring outcomes.

• Own the interview process for AE candidates: structured assessments, scorecards, an unbiased debriefs.

• Contribute to onboarding design for new AEs in partnership with Sales Enablement.

• Comfort operating in a high-growth, scaling environment where process is still being built.

• Based in or willing to relocate to New York City for a 3-day a week in-office culture.

• Demonstrated ability to learn and credibly articulate complex or technical subject matter — our AEs sell into the legal and real estate market, and managers need to understand the domain well enough to coach effectively on deal strategy, objection handling, and positioning.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience with complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise sales cycles.
