PVM is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and 8(a)-certified firm specializing in forward-deployed Palantir implementation services for U.S. Government agencies. We are one of only four members of Palantir’s U.S. Government Partnership Vanguard — and the only small business in that group. Our mission is simple: We Serve Those Who Serve.
We run on EOS (the Entrepreneurial Operating System), and we mean it. Clear accountability, disciplined execution, and a culture rooted in five core values: No Assholes. Mission & Outcome Obsessed. Own It. We Are Better Together. Keep It Real.
We’re building toward seven geographic hubs serving the U.S. Government Palantir market by 2036. Right now, we’re establishing our first hub in Huntsville, AL and building the talent infrastructure to make hub replication possible. That’s where this role comes in.
The Workforce Development & Transformation (WD&T) Leader is a strategic seat on the PVM Leadership Team. This is not a traditional HR role. It is the function that determines whether PVM’s growth ambitions are staffed for success — or stalled by talent constraints. You will own the people infrastructure that makes PVM scalable: talent strategy, LMA (Lead, Manage, hold Accountable) discipline company-wide, learning and development, workforce transformation, and culture management. You will lead two direct reports — People Experience and Talent Acquisition — and be responsible for building a Talent Engine playbook that works in every hub PVM enters.
This seat reports directly to the Integrator (COO) and operates with a company-wide lens. When you’re functioning well in this seat, the Integrator is fully out of WD&T operations. That’s the goal.
You directly LMA People Experience and Talent Acquisition. More importantly, you are the steward of LMA discipline company-wide — setting the standard, owning the training, and holding managers accountable for running People Analyzer assessments and Quarterly Conversations on cadence.
You own the strategic layer above the Talent Acquisition seat: workforce planning, the Talent Engine Model, and the standard for how PVM brings people in. No hub should activate without a talent plan; no new hire should arrive to an inconsistent start.
You build the learning infrastructure from onboarding through leadership maturity. In a professional services firm, the quality of the people is the product. You ensure Delivery Leaders develop into stronger leaders, technical skills stay current with Palantir’s evolving platform, and every employee has a visible development path.
You lead PVM’s evolution from a small, personality-driven company to a scalable, hub-based professional services firm. That means identifying where the organization is holding patterns that worked at 20 people but will break at 75 — and leading the change before it becomes a crisis.
You own the health and consistency of PVM’s culture across every hub, team, and employee interaction. You measure the gap between our stated values and our daily behavior — and you close it. All-hands communications, recognition programs, and company-wide cultural moments live here.
We are looking for someone with the following qualities. These are not checkbox requirements — they are the profile of the person who will thrive in this seat.
We want to be honest about this role because the wrong fit wastes everyone’s time.
