Job Description

Job Description

Echo – Deployment Strategist

On-Site: Colorado Springs, CO (local to the customer)

Reports to: Head of Delivery

Direct reports: 1–6 Deltas/FDEs per hub

Travel: 0-10% travel expected

At PVM, we serve those who serve, as a Palantir ally for mission impact. We are a veteran-founded, Palantir Vanguard partner and the only small business providing services in that tier. Which means helping our government partners tackle real problems in National Security, Readiness, and Space, not building shelfware.

Help Us Build PVM's Hub

This role is an opportunity to take a front seat in PVM's new hub – you'll have front-row proximity to mission, direct mentorship from Palantir experts, and a clear growth path as you get in early while we are building the hub from the ground up. You'll be working in small, senior teams with real autonomy and be able to truly own your work without the bureaucracy you may find at large companies.

About the Role

You are the CEO of your Portfolio/Hub. You own the mission outcome, the revenue, the product vision, and the team that delivers it end to end.

At PVM an Echo doesn't just "manage" a deployment. You own your customer's mission and the overall success of the programs in your portfolio. You own the product vision for your customer, craft the MVP thesis that actually moves the needle, set clear team priorities, ship production-grade solutions at speed, and drive user adoption until the platform is the heartbeat of the mission. Echoes are both facilitators and value amplifiers, combining deep platform expertise with exceptional interpersonal skills, as well as leadership, to deliver real impact for customers. Echoes demonstrate boldness, challenge assumptions, and prioritize customer obsession and measurable outcomes.

This Seat: Space Force

You are PVM's Echo for U.S. Space Force customers in Colorado Springs, the sibling of our Missile Defense Agency Echo in Huntsville. Your first customer is a new Space Force organization standing up its range and infrastructure mission: it does not yet know all the data it has, its processes are still being defined, and its first decision is getting control of its acquisition workload. You lead a small pod (Echo, Delta, Forward Deployed Engineers), live locally, and grow the work from one Space Force Delta to the next.

• Space and acquisition credibility: experience with Space Force, Air Force or Space Systems Command programs, program offices or acquisition is a strong plus. You can talk requirements, contracts, cost, schedule and risk with a materiel leader.
• Builder-leader: you have personally built and fielded a data, analytics or AI capability in the last few years (Palantir Foundry, AIP or Maven a strong plus), and you can stand up a proof of concept in front of the customer.
• Outcomes, briefed plainly: you turn technical progress into decisions senior officers fund.
• Engineering or technical degree preferred; military service and an active clearance (TS/SCI preferred) favored.

Other Cool Names You Might Wear

Mission Owner

Product Lead/Manager

What "Own It" Looks Like Here

• Own 100% of mission success and revenue growth for your portfolio measured as % of the Palantir boutique market.
• Own the product vision for your customer; you decide what the platform needs to become to solve their hardest problems.
• Craft the MVP Thesis ; the single-page north-star document that aligns stakeholders, justifies investment, and scopes what we build first.
• Set team priorities weekly ; you run the stand-up, own the backlog, and protect the team from scope creep and distraction.
• Drive user adoption until power users are building their own apps and the customer can't imagine life without Foundry.
• Decompose chaos into ontologies, pipelines, Workshop/Object Explorer apps, Quiver, Code Repos, and AIP chains that get used every day.
• Drive expansion, cross-sell, and upsell revenue within your primary customer stakeholder's network and any pre-assigned accounts by leveraging technical intimacy, trusted delivery outcomes, and deep understanding of PVM capabilities.
• Co-create reusable accelerators and PVM University content with your Deltas so we never rebuild the wheel.
• Anticipate and kill blockers before they slow momentum. Technical, cultural, political, or financial.
• Own the delivery lifecycle from onboarding through sustainment, with a focus on continuous improvement and feedback loops

You'll Thrive Here If

• Former Palantir Echo / Deployment Strategist / Dev (you already know what elite deployment feels like) or demonstratable deep Palantir platform expertise .
• Feel rooted in your community ; you're close to the people, challenges, and missions shaping life in your portfolio/hub.
• Proven ability to own product vision and drive expansion inside government accounts.
• You can brief a 3-star, write an MVP thesis, debug a pipeline, and run a retro in the same day.
• Are Mission & Outcome Obsessed – you care more about results than slideware
• Own It – you see a problem, you fix it; no one needs to hand you a ticket
• Believe We Are Better Together – small, senior teams are greater than lone heroes
• Keep It Real – straight talk, no politics, no drama
• Its simple: Don't be a jerk.
• Active clearance (or immediate eligibility).
• Palantir Foundry experience is highly desired
• Military/Special Operation/Law Enforcement favored but not required for all positions.

What You'll Get In Return

• A front-row seat at our new hub/portfolio, not a back-row seat on a bloated contract
• Direct mentorship from Palantir experts and a clear path to hub lead roles
• The agility of a small business with the credibility of a top-tier Palantir Vanguard partner
• A team that cares deeply about the mission and each other.
