Deployment Strategist, US Government

About the Role

The Deployment Strategist role centers around leveraging data in operational and real-world action. Deployment Strategists are responsible for turning customer hunches about making better use of their data into reality. This role is for individuals who believe in the transformational power of data and technology and in their own ability to bring that power to bear against complex problems.

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 challenging problems our world faces. Your mission is to synthesize disconnected streams of thought into a cohesive 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. Deployment Strategists are do-ers who immerse themselves in our customers' most intricate workflows, partner with customer teams, explore the 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. The problems you'll tackle will require a curious and analytical mindset, a sharp intuition for product, and a strong degree of user empathy to empower customers to make better decisions.
