You will take ownership of critical areas such as investment management, trading compliance, strategic transactions, corporate governance, and public company reporting. In addition, you'll play a central role in structuring, implementing, and administering equity compensation plans for employees globally, collaborating with cross-functional teams to align our equity programs with Palantir's mission and values. This is a high-impact role where you will consistently work cross-functionally and with leadership teams (including the Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer, and Chief Revenue Officer and Chief Legal Officer), and will translate complex legal requirements into clear communications and actionable strategies that support Palantir's continued innovation and success as a public company.

In this role, you will join a team that values broad-based experience and a relentless drive to learn quickly in a dynamic environment. We prioritize practical solutions and outcomes that ensure compliance with public company requirements while maximizing benefits for our employee base and advancing Palantir's mission.

  • Assist with a variety of corporate and securities transactions, including M&A and other strategic investments.
  • Assist in management and administration of Palantir's equity portfolio.


What We Value

  • Resourcefulness and the ability to solve problems, including non-traditional or undefined problems, creatively and analytically.
  • Ability to work independently and collaborate with cross-functional teams.
  • Ability to communicate complex legal concepts in a way that is understandable and actionable.
  • Ability to prioritize and communicate deadlines with internal and external stakeholders, and build constructive, high-trust relationships across teams and functions.
  • Sound judgment and composure in high-pressure situations; display discretion and integrity in all interactions.


What We Require

  • JD and active bar membership (or equivalent international qualification).
  • 4+ years' experience as a corporate or securities attorney at a top firm or in-house (a combination is even better!)
  • Knowledge of and experience with public company reporting requirements, corporate governance and board matters, and securities and strategic transactions.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with an ability to distill complexity into clarity.
