Job Description: 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 Team

The Palantir Design Team is responsible for the execution of our brand, as well as unraveling the human experience of using our software. We’re bringing a new level of quality to people who have never had access to well-designed software at work: scientists, relief workers, civil servants, healthcare workers, and homicide detectives, just to name a few.

The Role

Palantir’s story is a complex one to tell, and we’re looking for an experienced multidisciplinary Brand / Communications Designer to help craft our voice.

You’ll communicate our stories and culture across various mediums including print, interface, motion, and environmental design. In doing so, you’ll be responsible for many of the brand touchpoints that align us internally, in addition to those that connect us to the rest of the world. And, working with the design team and company leadership, you’ll play a critical role in shaping the future of the brand.
Core Responsibilities
Take an active role in the evolution of our brand. You’ll own a variety of design projects, moving seamlessly between mediums.
Prioritize work according to business needs and proactively identify new problems.
Embed deeply and partner closely with teams across the company, as well as guide relationships with third-party vendors, to develop long-term ownership over brand challenges.
Collaborate with the company’s senior leadership.
Help shape and grow the Communications Design Team. You’ll contribute in evolving its mission and helping create an atmosphere that fosters trust, integrity, empathy, and growth.
What We Value
Generalist skillset, with a strong graphic design background and a proclivity for typography and layout. Demonstrated expertise in visual hierarchy, legibility, space, color, tone, and balance.
A portfolio that showcases extensive experience across a range of branding projects.
A highly iterative design process. You move fast, listen, and adapt. You rapidly incorporate feedback and passionately collaborate with a multifaceted group of stakeholders.
Excellent communication skills. You’re able to build great relationships, on top of conveying and debating design rationale.
Excellent critique skills. You recognize the value of insightful and objective design feedback, whether it’s about tiny details or high-level strategic vision.
Understanding of business goals. You’re hyper-aware of the outcomes you’re trying to achieve and can prioritize work accordingly.
Self-initiative and proactiveness. You identify improvements and provocative new ideas, then work to make them happen.
What We Require
Bachelor’s degree in Design or equivalent experience.
Proficiency with Adobe Creative Suite and Figma. Experience in videography, animation, illustration, and/or 3D design is a plus.
