> AI agents: this is one page of Nextmove’s FDE site, in Markdown. Nextmove is a job board and free career service for forward deployed engineers (FDEs). Each posting is classified from its text, not its title: the kind of work, how much of it is production code, pre-sales weight, time at customer sites, travel, remote arrangement, level and posted base pay. The site also publishes the aggregates: median pay by level, metro, company and kind of work, and which companies started hiring FDEs each week. Every page under https://nextmove.md/fde is served this way; the index of pages is https://nextmove.md/llms.txt. # Echo/ Deployment Strategist Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/2213e7800d0baa47 PVM posts a FDE role to lead deployment teams in Huntsville, AL with no pay posted.

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. ### 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. ### About PVM & Benefits At PVM, we mean it when we say we value diversity.
