 * Familiarity with Palantir (Foundry, Gotham, or similar) is preferred but not mandatory provided you have a strong willingness to learn
 * High EQ & Curiosity: The emotional intelligence to understand client expectations, a proactive self-starting nature and the humility to know you don't know everything and search for and accept help
 * Impact-Driven Communication: The ability to present impressive demos, simplify complexity for non-technical users, and focus on delivering genuine client impact.
