The Role

As a Senior Government Contracts Strategist, you will enable Palantir to creatively navigate the US Government acquisitions lifecycle and address the full gamut of our contractual obligations. You will be a member of Palantir's in-house US Government Contracts and Legal team and will serve a critical function supporting our US Government business. You will collaborate with partners in Business Development, Finance, Engineering, Sales, and Leadership to provide your valuable knowledge and insights into the government contracting process and keep pace with our diverse and expanding portfolio of Government partnerships. Senior Government Contracts Strategists help develop acquisition strategies, build relationships and push deals across the finish line — reviewing and completing critical contract documentation, building pricing strategies for proposals, implementing company directives/policies, and supporting other projects that arise.
