Events Program Manager

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.

We're looking for an Internal Events & Talent Program Manager to join a cross-functional team responsible for the programs, experiences, and operations that support Palantir's people and culture. Our mandate is broad, but the core of this role is building community: designing and executing events and programming that connect Palantirians with our mission and values, within offices and across the globe.

You'll own the end-to-end delivery of internal events, from intimate gatherings to large-scale company-wide programming. Working alongside other Talent Program Managers, you'll also contribute to the broader People Experience operation, ranging from supporting new hire onboarding (including facilitation!), employer branding, and external events. You'll serve as the operational backbone on key initiatives, improving processes to scale your team's reach, tracking projects, removing roadblocks, and staying ahead of needs.

You're someone who finds satisfaction in fixing problems and building structure where there isn't any. You think carefully about how people experience a room, a moment, or a milestone, and you know that the best events feel effortless even when the work behind them wasn't. You embrace the best idea regardless of where it comes from, and you're comfortable navigating ambiguity and picking up new skills as priorities shift. The role and org aren't rigidly defined, and that's by design.

Primary operational owner of global internal events, from vision-setting and budget allocation to vendor management and on-the-ground execution.

Design events and programming that build genuine community and connection across our people, while reinforcing Palantir's mission and values.

Contribute to a wide range of operational workflows across the People Experience team, from Affinity and Interest Group programming to swag management and ad-hoc projects.

Occasional facilitation of new hire and intern onboarding.

Work directly with external vendors and internal teams (Finance, Recruiting, Legal, Physical Security, and others) to manage the full lifecycle of event logistics.

Identify and onboard new vendors and tools to expand the team's capabilities and scale its reach.

Strong organizational and problem-solving skills, with the ability to anticipate challenges, manage competing priorities, and make sound tradeoffs in a fast-moving environment.

A creative approach to project management built around lightweight frameworks, rapid iteration, and low-overhead communication that keeps partnering teams informed.

Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with experience collaborating across functions, both internal and external.

Strong attention to detail and a habit of maintaining accurate records, tracking project metrics, and surfacing the right information to the right stakeholders at the right time.

2+ years experience in an operational role, preferably in a fast-paced or dynamic environment.

Ability and willingness to be onsite 4-5 days per week when facilitating new hire onboarding or executing internal events.

Ability and willingness to travel between global offices, up to 25% of the time.
