• Build and own the platform branding, communications, and value proposition that aligns IT and business leadership around a shared modernization vision
• Drive feature prioritization and use case validation across a portfolio of Palantir Foundry-based applications setting the standard for how federal agencies modernize at scale
• Extend your impact beyond the initial program scope, as your work will inform how the Palantir platform gets adopted across additional mission areas and potentially across the broader federal enterprise

• Platform branding and communications: you can articulate a product's value proposition clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences at the leadership level
• Risk management and problem solving: you anticipate delivery risks early and come with solutions, not just status updates
• Bachelor's degree in any discipline or equivalent experience
• 5-7 years of relevant experience preferred
• Federal product management at the senior level: you have owned a roadmap in a government context, managed competing stakeholder priorities, and navigated agency governance without losing momentum
• Familiarity with procurement, compliance, or federal IT delivery frameworks
