Job description

Join to apply for the People Partner role at Palantir Technologies.

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

The People Partner team is dedicated to driving business outcomes by cultivating a highly effective and engaged workforce in partnership with key business leaders. We work closely with all teams and at all levels to improve talent development, manage performance, and facilitate feedback across the organization. We help empower Palantirians to be as effective and impactful as possible.

People Partners work at both the strategic and tactical level. On any given day, we design new, scalable programs and frameworks, advise organizations on how to develop a culture of feedback, and iterate on how we can improve our efficacy as a team. People Partners regularly strike a balance between upside maximization initiatives (employee growth and development) and downside mitigation (performance, employee relations, etc.). We are involved in all the key moments of an employee's life cycle, resulting in a wide breadth of responsibilities and opportunities.

Core Responsibilities

• Develop deep relationships and build trust with key business owners, becoming a strategic thought partner on people‑related strategies and engagements.
• Build, execute, and regularly assess people processes and programs – catered to topics like feedback, growth, training, leadership development – that drive a high‑performance culture.
• Engage on issues of organizational design, process, and workflows to help teams operate more effectively.
• Utilize people metrics to drive key insights and decisions around the growth and retention of employees.
• Coach Palantirians (both individual contributors and leads), functioning as an advocate and resource to resolve key employee issues including performance, interpersonal conflicts, grievances, and complex investigations.

What We Value

• Proactive, can operate autonomously, and thrive in ambiguity.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, and a high level of emotional intelligence.
• Excels at working on open-ended problems and running them to completion.
• Data-driven and detail-oriented.

What We Require

• 3+ years relevant industry experience.
• Proven ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, high‑pressure, outcome-oriented environment by demonstrating quick, thoughtful execution.
• Excels at working on open-ended problems and running them to completion.
• Ability to spend 4–5 days per week in‑office.

Salary

The estimated salary range for this position is $90,000 – $151,000 per year. Total compensation may also include Restricted Stock Units, a sign‑on bonus, and other potential future incentives. The exact figure will be determined by each individual’s relevant qualifications, work experience, skills, and other factors.

Benefits

• Employees (and their eligible dependents) can enroll in medical, dental, and vision insurance as well as voluntary life insurance.
• Employees are automatically covered by Palantir’s basic life, AD&D, and disability insurance.
• Commuter benefits.
• Take what you need paid time off, not accrual based.
• 2 weeks paid time off built into the end of each year (subject to team and business needs).
• 10 paid holidays throughout the calendar year.
• Supportive leave of absence program including time off for military service and medical events.
• Paid leave for new parents and subsidized back‑up care for all parents.
• Fertility and family building benefits including adoption, surrogacy, and preservation.
• Stipend to help with expenses that come with a new child.
• Employees can enroll in Palantir’s 401(k) plan.

Life at Palantir

We want every Palantirian to achieve their best outcomes. We celebrate individuals’ strengths, skills, and interests from your first interview to long-term growth, rather than relying on traditional career ladders. Paying attention to the needs of our community enables us to optimize our opportunities to grow and helps ensure many pathways to success at Palantir. Promoting health and well‑being across all areas of Palantirians’ lives is just one of the ways we’re investing in our community.

In keeping consistent with Palantir’s values and culture, we believe employees are “better together” and in‑person work affords the opportunity for more creative outcomes. We encourage employees to work from our offices to foster connectivity and innovation. Many teams do offer hybrid options (WFH a day or two a week), allowing our employees to strike the right trade‑off for their personal productivity. Based on business need, a few roles may allow for “Remote” work on an exceptional basis. If you are applying for one of these roles, you must work from the state in which you are employed. If the posting is specified as Onsite, you are required to work from an office.

Palantir is committed to making the application and hiring process accessible to everyone and will provide a reasonable accommodation for those living with a disability.
