Deployment Strategist, US Government
Palantir
About the Role
The Deployment Strategist role centers around leveraging data in operational and real-world action. You will be responsible for turning customer hunches about data utilization into reality.
What We Do
As a Deployment Strategist, you will work as part of a driven and creative team to deploy software against challenging problems. Your mission is to synthesize disconnected streams of thought into a cohesive understanding of the most important problem, the meaning of the data, product needs, user motivations, and potential impact. You will immerse yourself in customer workflows, partner with customer teams, explore data, and dive into the product landscape to enable scaling. A select number of Deployment Strategists may also be deployed to Palantir internal teams and problems.
