A World-Changing Company

The Finance Team supports and empowers Palantirians through both day-to-day operations and creative problem-solving. As a Compensation Financial Analyst, you will be responsible for owning compensation analysis and modeling, collaborating across multiple internal teams, and scaling our compensation program to meet the needs of a growing public company.

• The ability to operate with a high degree of trust in an environment with sensitive data
• The ability to meet deadlines while balancing competing priorities in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
• A high proficiency in Excel and eagerness to work with Palantir’s in-house data tools; while not required, more technical experience with programming, scripting or statistical packages (such as SQL, PySpark, Python, R, Matlab) is a plus

• You love to dive into details, and you aren’t satisfied with surface-level answers
• You’re a low-ego team player who believes the outcome matters more than the person who gets the credit
• You’re a nimble, scrappy self-starter who excels in chaos
• You’re willing to roll up your sleeves and tackle complex problems in creative and unconventional ways

• Two or more years of experience in financial modeling (such as investment banking, equity research, or consulting), and preferably at least two years working in finance in an operational setting (i.e., at a startup or scaling company).
