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.
The Role
As a Program Manager within our Commercial business, you are the operational engine behind Palantir’s forward deployed engineering teams. You partner with Forward Deployed Engineers, Deployment Strategists, and others to optimize our product implementation processes for customers. You own the operational success of the team from end to end by aligning strategy with execution, building constructive client relationships, spotting risks that others have missed, and bridging gaps to ensure engineers can operate effectively. Your creative approach to problem solving centers around frameworks that enable rapid iteration while operating in harmony with the team’s vision and the end users’ needs.
This position requires a combination of project and team management, process optimization, customer relationship management, and execution skills. You are a person who loves identifying and fixing problems, and embraces the opportunity that an obstacle presents.
Core Responsibilities
- Be the first responder when things go wrong. If a problem is outside your area of expertise, you know how to move both collaboratively and independently toward a solution while optimally using team resources.
- Synthesize concrete goals from client needs, prioritizing your deployment’s strategy, and optimizing for outsized impact, end-user’s needs, and long-term client relationship durability.
- Directly own and run aspects of Palantir operations that are critical to your team’s outcomes and often the difference between failure and success, from individual processes to broader work streams.
- Identify, evaluate, and help prioritize growth opportunities and pain points with clear structure and rigor.
- Develop and execute client-specific or cross-functional strategic initiatives to drive growth and create/scale operations.
- Maintain broad and complete state of everything involving or related to your team. Pre-empt and resolve any issues that may steer projects off course.
- Optimize cross-team collaboration. Calibrate a room of peers and/or customers to align across shared objectives. This may include engaging internal teams such as product, finance, legal, or sales that support deployments.
What We Value
- Proven success managing complex projects in high-stakes environments.
- Excellent problem solving skills, sound judgment, and composure in high-pressure situations.
- An appetite for grittiness. You are eager to roll up your sleeves and can pivot from a high-level view to a granular perspective to ensure our world-class solutions are delivered without issue.
- Demonstrating a high level of action-oriented empathy to understand and respond to end-users.
- An ability to develop and cultivate strong rapport within our product development teams. You are willing to invest in learning technical concepts and can engage in technical discussion.
What We Require
- Ability to travel 25-50% required. Varies by location and team.
- 3+ years of project/program management experience, preferably in a fast-paced or dynamic environment.
