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
As a Proposal Writer you are a critical driver of Palantir’s U.S. Government business growth. Through collaborating with business development and technical execution stakeholders, you will help expand Palantir’s footprint in DoD/US Government (across both DoD and Intelligence agencies) by writing high-quality and compelling proposals to win contracts. Detail-oriented, effective communicator, and creative writer, you are capable of turning complex technical concepts into persuasive proposals, white papers, project vision statements, presentations, and other business documentation. By understanding customer requirements, you will effectively deliver content that aligns with their business goals/needs. You will write technical and non-technical explanations of our software's capabilities and draft formal proposals that are easily digestible to the target audience.
Palantir is fast-paced, and you'll be expected to make decisions independently by weighing many needs and priorities. In this role, you'll wear many hats, arising to new business challenges while growing your skills and domain expertise on the job.
