This is a role for someone who thrives on selling complex, high-value SaaS solutions, building relationships with sophisticated buyers, and helping shape how we go to market in a new city.
This role reports directly to our Sales Manager and works closely with our Legal Solutions team, Marketing, and Sales Enablement. This is a critical early hire and a genuine opportunity to shape our LA presence and contribute to Orbital's US expansion post-Series B.
What You'll DoPipeline and Prospecting- Own and build your pipeline through a combination of self-sourced outbound and inbound leads
- Identify, qualify, and develop new business opportunities within the legal and commercial real estate sectors
- Partner with Marketing on ABM campaigns and targeted outreach to law firms and in-house legal teams
Sales Execution- Run a disciplined, process-driven sales cycle from first contact through to close
- Conduct high-quality discovery calls to uncover business pain, quantify impact, and build compelling business cases

What We're Looking ForMust-Haves- 2-5 years of B2B SaaS sales experience with a consistent track record of meeting or exceeding quota
- Experience running complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles
- Strong discovery and qualification skills: able to diagnose pain, build business cases, and advance deals with discipline
- Proactive pipeline builder: you generate your own pipeline and don't rely on inbound alone
- Clear, confident communicator: in person, on the phone, and in writing
- Comfortable operating in a high-growth, scaling environment where process is still being built
- Based in or willing to relocate to Los Angeles for 2-3 days in office (Constellation Place, LA)

- Familiarity with AI or technology products
- Exposure to MEDDIC, MEDDPICC, or similar qualification frameworks
- Experience at a Series A-C SaaS company

- Comprehensive health benefits: Your well-being is important to us. We provide competitive medical, dental, and vision coverage to help you stay healthy and supported.
