Should you work at Orbital?
Probably, if you want published pay and a seat near the leadership team. Orbital publishes salary bands in local currency for UK and US roles with an explicit statement of why, raised a $60M Series B, is remote or hybrid across the 22 roles that specify, and names real law firms as customers in a conservative market. The caveats: stated office attendance is a minimum that rises some weeks, senior roles straddle UK and US reporting lines and time zones, and we hold no verified employee reviews.
Read from 27 live roles, 10 full job descriptions and 3 funding rounds. No employee reviews, no ratings.
Good fit if
- Salary ranges are published with an explicit statement of why the company shares them.
- The company recently raised a substantial round tied to expansion in two markets.
- Benefits include a matched retirement plan, equity, and a personal development budget.
- Named law firms are cited as customers, so the product has real adoption in a conservative market.
Think twice if
- Office attendance is a stated minimum that can rise depending on what is happening that week.
- Senior roles are split across UK and US reporting lines, so working across time zones is built into the job.
- The most senior people role is expected to challenge existing priorities rather than inherit them.
- Experience at a specific company stage is a stated requirement, which narrows the field.
We can't tell you
- What managers are actually like day to day
- Attrition, tenure or promotion rates
- Whether the pace is sustainable

What the job descriptions ask of you
A reading of how 10 postings are worded — not a score, and not comparable between companies.
Autonomy Self-directed
Senior roles are handed business context rather than a plan, and expected to set the agenda themselves.
“Your starting point is not a People roadmap handed to you in advance.”
Structure Ambiguous
Postings say directly that there is no predefined list of work to pick up.
“You won't be given a predefined project list.”
Ownership End-to-end
The company frames ownership as available from the start rather than earned over time.
“giving people the ownership to make a real impact from day one”
Collaboration Cross-functional
Senior roles sit on the leadership team and are expected to work across commercial and product conversations.
“You'll be part of commercial, product, and strategic conversations”
The upside
Stated by Orbital in its own postings.
Salary ranges are published with an explicit statement of why the company shares them.
“We share salary ranges upfront to build trust, reduce bias, and support an inclusive process”
The company recently raised a substantial round tied to expansion in two markets.
“We've just raised a $60m Series B to accelerate our UK/US expansion.”
Benefits include a matched retirement plan, equity, and a personal development budget.
“Professional equipment and personal development budget along with training opportunities”
Named law firms are cited as customers, so the product has real adoption in a conservative market.
“We're trusted by leading firms like Goodwin and BCLP”
Applicants are explicitly encouraged to apply without matching every requirement.
“Even if you don't meet every single requirement, or if the right role isn't listed yet, we'd still love to hear from you.”
Salary bands are published in local currency for UK roles as well as US ones.
“Competitive starting salary £90,000-£110,000”
The trade-offs
Also from the postings — not complaints from employees.
Office attendance is a stated minimum that can rise depending on what is happening that week.
“This role is based in our New York office with minimum two days a week, with additional time in as needed”
Senior roles are split across UK and US reporting lines, so working across time zones is built into the job.
“reporting to our COO (based in the UK) and partnering closely with our CEO (based in New York)”
The most senior people role is expected to challenge existing priorities rather than inherit them.
“challenging existing priorities when the business context demands it”
Experience at a specific company stage is a stated requirement, which narrows the field.
“Experience scaling a business through the 100-to-250 headcount phase”
Security and compliance obligations apply to everyone, not just technical staff.
“We ask all team members to follow our security policies, complete regular awareness training”
Roles split across London and New York offices, each with their own in-office expectation.
“This role is based in our London office with an expectation of multiple days in the office per week.”
