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 is seeking a Regulatory Counsel to join our Compliance function within the Legal Team. Our team’s mission is to proactively provide compliance advice to the business, in an effort to support Palantir’s responsible business growth.
In this role, you’ll support teams across the global business as they navigate various regulatory and contractural requirements to ensure compliance with applicable laws across various jurisdictions and to support Palantir’s strategic business objectives. Our ideal candidate can identify novel issues within an indeterminate landscape, navigate complex issues independently, and enjoys being innovative when solving problems. In this role, you’ll draw on legal expertise, strong analytical reasoning and practical judgement to recommend appropriate solutions and work collaboratively with various stakeholders to see those solutions implemented.
We’re a team that values intrinsically motivated individual contributors that can also seamlessly work with a range of teams and stakeholders - operating solo and collaboratively. Delivering complex information using effective communication skills and building consensus using strong interpersonal skills will aid you in achieving team wins. Although this role is focused on international regulatory compliance, you should have a flexible altitude to assist with the changing needs of the business, including in the U.S. legal and regulatory compliance space and as the regulatory landscape for artificial intelligence evolves. Our ideal candidate would use a first-principles based approach to navigating novel compliance issues with a clear understanding of cross-jurisdictional enforcement risks and be able to effectively advise the business on how to best navigate and mitigate risks in the countries we operate.
