Palantir Technologies
Intelligence Analyst
A World-Changing Company
At Palantir, we’re passionate about building software that solves problems. We partner with the most important institutions in the world to transform how they use data and technology. Our software has been used to stop terrorist attacks, discover new medicines, gain an edge in global financial markets, and more. If these types of projects excite you, we'd love for you to join us.
The Role
There is a line that separates a safe, supportive environment from a dangerous, closed environment. Palantir' Global Safety and Security (GSS) holds that line. Our goal as a team is to provide and maintain a comfortable, open workplace without sacrificing our culture or safety. We have engineers, analysts and people who do just a little bit of everything; we lean heavily on that diversity of skill to address a wide array of challenges with as deft a touch as possible.
As an Intelligence Analyst on the Global Safety and Security Team you will play key role in keeping our people and assets safe. You will help build our geopolitical risk capabilities and facilitate expansion of those services globally. You will be directly responsible for guiding risk strategy, identifying focus areas for exercising and preparedness measures along with supporting incident response. In this role you’ll bring your extensive geopolitical knowledge to the Palantirians who depend on you to help them drive impact.
Success will be contingent on an analyst’s ability to develop a macro understanding of Palantir, and learn about the types of issues that have the greatest impact on the company. Having a critical lens on global issues and an ability to synthesize large amounts of information into concise, actionable reports is critical. The expectation is that the analyst will work on issues that occur throughout the world.
