People Partner (London)

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

The People Partner team is dedicated to driving business outcomes by cultivating a highly effective and engaged workforce in partnership with key business leaders. We work closely with all teams and at all levels to improve talent development, manage performance, and facilitate feedback across the organisation. We help empower Palantirians to be as effective and impactful as possible.

People Partners work at both the strategic and tactical level. On any given day, we're designing new, scalable programmes and frameworks, advising organisations on how to develop a culture of feedback, and iterating on how we can improve our efficacy as a team. People Partners regularly strike a balance between upside maximisation initiatives (employee growth and development) and downside mitigation (performance, employee relations, etc.). We're involved in all the key moments of an employee's life cycle which results in a wide breadth of responsibilities and opportunities.

Core Responsibilities

• Develop deep relationships and build trust with key business owners, becoming a strategic thought partner on people-related strategies and engagements.
• Build, execute, and regularly assess people processes and programmes – catered to topics like feedback, growth, training, leadership development – that drive a high-performance culture.
• Engage on issues of organisational design, process, and workflows in order to help teams operate more effectively.
• Utilise people metrics to drive key insights and decisions around the growth and retention of employees.
• Coach Palantirians (both individual contributors and leads), functioning as an advocate and resource to resolving key employee issues including performance, interpersonal conflicts, grievances and complex investigations.

What We Value

• Proactive, can operate autonomously, and thrive in ambiguity.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, and a high level of emotional intelligence.
• Excels at working on open-ended problems and running them to completion.
• Data-driven and detail-oriented.

What We Require

• 3+ years relevant industry experience.
• Proven ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-pressure, outcome-oriented environment by demonstrating quick, thoughtful execution.
• Ability to spend 3-4 days per week in-office.

Therefore, we encourage employees to work from our offices to foster connectivity and innovation. Many teams do offer hybrid options (WFH a day or two a week), allowing our employees to strike the right trade-off for their personal productivity. Based on business need, there are a few roles that allow for “Remote” work on an exceptional basis. If you are applying for one of these roles, you must work from the city and or country in which you are employed. If the posting is specified as Onsite, you are required to work from an office.
