Legal Counsel

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

Palantir’s in-house legal team works to proactively address legal issues so that Palantir can continue to drive positive impact in the world. As Legal Counsel, you will be a key contributor to the legal team and to the company as a whole. You will work as a generalist on a wide array of commercial and corporate legal matters, from structuring and negotiating M&A, partnerships, joint ventures, and other corporate and commercial transactions, to working on regulatory and international legal issues. However, you will also be a specialist, helping us navigate the general corporate, equity compensation and governance-related complexities that we face around the world, particularly when we first begin engagements in a new country, while interacting directly with our legal and company leadership.

We are a team that values both creativity and teamwork. Whether operating solo or collaboratively, we endeavor to achieve great results on challenging, time-sensitive projects. You will be given open ended objectives and expected to find ways to turn them into outcomes. By focusing on the broad vision without losing sight of the details, you will be expected to bring large and multi-phase projects to successful completion while prioritizing team outcomes over individual wins. You will be expected to deliver complex information in an understandable way and manage high-touch stakeholders in a dynamic business landscape.

Our ideal candidate will enjoy the responsibility and autonomy that comes with owning problems and finding solutions. You are empathetic and able to effectively navigate a complex organization involving a wide variety of audiences, including under time-sensitive situations. You are ready to jump into a deal at a moment’s notice and become an expert on the intricate details of the transaction, corporate governance or equity compensation matters that enable Palantir to operate on a global scale. You are passionate about conceiving and implementing scalable systems that increase your impact, and that of the in-house legal team, over time.
