Role Summary & Mission
The FD Partner is the most complete role in the Palantir Center of Excellence — and intentionally so. This is not a relationship manager who oversees technical work from a distance. The FD Partner is a senior, deeply technical practitioner who is equally at home building in Palantir Foundry and AIP as they are presenting a Go/No-Go recommendation to an executive sponsor. They own the business relationship, set the value agenda, and get their hands dirty delivering it.
The FD Partner leads pods where needed, drives active development on the most complex or ambiguous use cases, and is ultimately accountable for adoption and ROI across their portfolio. They are the person in the room who can both write the Ontology and articulate why it matters to a CFO. Technical depth is non-negotiable — the credibility to lead FD Delta and FD Echo engineers, challenge delivery approaches, and unblock problems in Foundry must be earned through proficiency, not assumed through seniority.
This is a Forward Deployed role, so travel is expected. The range is between 10-30% (2-6 nights/month) on average, with some periods being higher and some periods being lower.
