About the Position

Senior People Partner - GTM

Orbital is the AI platform for real estate legal work. We connect the legal and physical record, making real estate transactions faster, clearer, and less manual. We're growing fast, and we need a Senior People Partner who wants to help us get this right from the ground up.

This isn't a maintain-the-machine role. You'll be the first People hire in the US, partnering with our GTM leadership while also owning the design and build of people solutions that actually scale. Strategy and execution. Influence and craft. Both, in the same role.

Responsibilities

Work closely with go-to-market managers, coaching them through performance, team health, and people challenges.
Build scalable solutions: frameworks, enablement tools, programs, and processes.
Focus on manager capability, performance enablement, and building out the US-specific foundations of our People stack.

Requirements

Strong People Partnering experience, ideally supporting GTM, Sales, or Commercial teams.
Knowledge of US employment law: FLSA, FMLA, Title VII, ADA, multi-state compliance, at-will.
Think like a product manager: diagnose before you design, and measure what you ship.
Experience in high-growth tech or legaltech; OTE and variable comp exposure; any UK employment law familiarity.

Nice to Have

Curiosity about AI and technology and actively looking for ways to work smarter.

We Offer

Base Salary: $165,000-$185,000 depending on experience, plus equity, 401k match, and comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage.
Hybrid role: 2 days in our New York office.
Generous PTO, parental leave, commuter benefits, and a personal development budget.
