* Eligibility for clearance is required
Join a £20m Programme Driving the Future of Defence Data
Our client has just secured a £20 million programme to revolutionize how Defence and national security organisations harness data. This is your opportunity to lead a Palantir Foundry practice at the heart of this transformation where complex data becomes actionable intelligence.
As Practice Lead, you’ll combine technical depth with strategic influence, shaping how advanced analytics, AI/ML, and ontology-driven solutions deliver mission-critical outcomes.
What You’ll Do
Architect & Govern Ontologies in Palantir Foundry to unify complex datasets.
Build & Lead a Practice—mentor engineers, set delivery patterns, and champion innovation.
Shape Strategy—balance hands-on engineering with influencing enterprise data direction.
Engage Stakeholders—translate technical concepts into operational impact.
What We’re Looking For
Essential:
Palantir Foundry experience, ontology modelling, Agile leadership.
Tech Stack:
Python, SQL, PySpark, strong data engineering principles.
Bonus
Skills:
Graph technologies (RDF, OWL, SPARQL), cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP), integration tools (Airflow, Kafka, Elasticsearch).
Previous leadership experience in data-focused teams.
Although a practice lead role this is still a hands on role, if you are looking for a hands off position this might not be for you.
Why This Role Stands Out
Competitive Package: £90k–£110k + bonus + benefits.
Flexibility:
Hybrid working with occasional client visits (expenses covered).
Impact:
Be part of a £20m programme shaping Defence and public sector capability.
Growth:
Professional development, certifications, conferences.
Culture:
Employee ownership trust, inclusive environment, charity days, enhanced parental leave.
Ready to lead a practice that defines the future of Defence data?
