About the Role

Orbital Copilot is an AI assistant for commercial real estate law, designed to accelerate due diligence by up to 70% with legal-grade precision. We are seeking a leader to shape our design function and product strategy as we expand into the UK and US markets.

Responsibilities

  • Lead from the product, participating in product, commercial, and strategic conversations.
  • Bring a strategic design perspective to business challenges.
  • Identify areas where the product experience constrains growth or creates user friction.
  • Help pressure-test product decisions against user reality.
  • Ensure design is aligned with business objectives.
  • Set the design agenda based on product context, user feedback, and business needs.
  • Prioritize areas such as information architecture, interaction design, design systems, user research, and AI interface patterns.
  • Translate product realities into a sharper design mandate and challenge assumptions.
  • Define AI-native design standards, focusing on explainability, trust, agentic UX, and confidence signals.
  • Shape interaction patterns that differentiate the product.
  • Hold the team accountable for the quality of the user experience.
  • Build and grow the design function, investing in team development and establishing clear ownership.
  • Develop a high-leverage design function combining craft, user understanding, and AI expertise.

Requirements

  • Significant experience leading product design at a senior level in a scaling B2B tech company.
  • Depth across the design discipline.
  • Ability to operate beyond traditional design roles.
  • Track record of influencing business decisions at the product leadership level.
  • Experience scaling a design function through a high-growth phase.
  • Experience designing AI-native products, addressing explainability, trust, agentic UX, and confidence signals.
  • Experience designing for expert professional users.
  • Strong commercial instincts, understanding the link between design and business outcomes (adoption, retention, revenue).
  • Ability to translate product context into design strategy and challenge priorities.
  • Experience leading a design team, setting direction and standards without owning every deliverable.
