Description

A Deployment Strategist is responsible for uncovering dots and connecting them�to turn a customer's hunch into reality. This role involves working with customers to understand their critical questions and pain points, identifying relevant datasets, and integrating data into a stable and extensible pipeline. The Deployment Strategist will also work with customers to build bespoke workflows for new user groups, lead training sessions, and present results to audiences ranging from analysts to C-suite executives.

As a Deployment Strategist, you will be part of a driven and creative team of Engineers, Product Designers, and other Deployment Strategists. You will immerse yourself in our customers' most intricate workflows, partner with customer teams, and explore the data to enable us to scale. A select number of Deployment Strategists may also be deployed to Palantir internal teams and projects.

In this role, the problems you will tackle will require a curious and analytical mindset, a sharp intuition for product, and a strong degree of user empathy to ultimately empower our customers to make better decisions.

Responsibilities

  • Go onsite and meet with customer analysts to understand the critical questions they need to answer and locate their biggest pain points
  • Identify relevant datasets through deep engagement with customer problems and workflows, and work with Forward Deployed Engineers to integrate the data into a stable and extensible pipeline

  • Build and deliver demos to new and existing customers
  • Scope out potential engagements in new industries and in increasingly expanding locations around the world

What We Value

  • Extraordinary ability to take on open-ended problems in unstructured environments
  • Adaptive and introspective; willing to learn, teach, lead and follow
  • Experience with programming, scripting or statistical packages (e.g. Python, R, Matlab, SQL) is a plus

What We Require

  • Ability to travel 25 – 75% required. Varies by location and team
  • Active US Security clearance or eligibility and willingness to obtain a US Security clearance
