Description
A 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.
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 synthesize 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 plunge into the product landscape to enable us to scale. A select number of Deployments Strategists may also be deployed to Palantir internal teams and problems.
In this role, the problems you'll seek 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.
Some of the key responsibilities of this role include:
- Going onsite and meeting with customer analysts to understand the critical questions they need to answer and locate their biggest problems
- Identifying relevant datasets through deep engagement with customer problems and workflows
- Working with Forward Deployed Engineers to integrate the data into a stable and extensible pipeline
- Working with the customer to build customized workflows for new user groups
- Leading training sessions to ensure that the product is meeting user needs and having concrete impact on their operations
- Presenting the results of our work and proposals for future work to audiences ranging from analysts to C-suite executives
- Embedding with our Software Engineering and Product Design teams to incorporate what you saw in the field into cross-Palantir product offerings
- Building and delivering demos to new and existing customers
- Scoping out potential engagements in new industries and expanding locations around the world
We're looking for team members who aren't satisfied with surface-level answers and will dive into the details of the data. We value low ego because the outcome matters more than who gets the credit. We're looking for extraordinary ability to confront open-ended problems in unstructured environments. Adaptability and introspection are essential, as we're willing to learn, guide, lead, and follow.
Some of the requirements for this role include:
- Being willing and able to work from the Chicago Metropolitan Area due to the nature and business needs of the role
- Ability to travel 25 – 75% required. Varies by location and team
- Experience with programming, scripting or statistical packages (e.g. Python, R, Matlab, SQL)
The salary range for this position is estimated to be $110,000 - $170,000/year. Total compensation for this position may also include Restricted Stock units, sign-on bonus and other potential future incentives.
Our benefits aim to promote health and wellbeing across all areas of Palantirians' lives. We work to continuously improve our offerings and listen to our community as we design and update them.
