A World-Changing Company
Palantir builds the world’s leading software for data-driven decisions and operations. By bringing the right data to the people who need it, our platforms empower our partners to develop lifesaving drugs, forecast supply chain disruptions, locate missing children, and more.
What We're About
At its core, the Deployment Strategist role centres around using data in operational and real-world action. Our customers come to us with a hunch that the only way to protect their troops, manufacture high-quality products, structure effective healthcare policies, or deliver aid to refugees safely is to make better use of their data. Deployment Strategists are responsible for turning that hunch into reality.
What We Do
As a Deployment Strategist, you’ll work as part of a driven and creative team of Engineers, Product Designers, and other Deployment Strategists to deploy software against the most exciting problems our world faces. Your mission is to synthesise disconnected streams of thought into an understanding of what the most important problem is, what the data means, what the product needs, what users are motivated by, and where the impact could be.
You’ll immerse yourself in our customers’ most intricate workflows. You’ll partner with customer teams and explore the data, and delve into the product landscape to enable us to scale. A select number of Deployment Strategists may also be deployed to Palantir internal teams and problems. In this role, the problems you’ll tackle will require a curious and analytical approach, a sharp intuition for product, and a strong degree of user insight to ultimately empower our customers to improve decisions.

- Scope out potential engagements in new industries and expanding locations around the world.
What We Value
- Team members who aren’t satisfied with surface-level answers and will dive into the details of the data.
- Low ego, as the outcome matters more than who receives the credit.
- Extraordinary ability to confront open-ended problems in unstructured environments.
- Adaptive and introspective; willing to learn, guide, lead, and follow.
What We Require
- Ability to travel 25–75% required. Varies by location and team.
