Description:

Video Producer/Cinematographer/Editor

We’re looking for an exceptional Senior Producer /Editor with advanced camera operation skills — someone who doesn’t just cut footage, but shapes story through pacing, tone, rhythm, sound, and visual intent.

This role is for a creative who understands how audiences feel a story before they fully process it — someone who knows when to hold a shot, when to accelerate momentum, how to build emotional arc, and how to elevate footage into something memorable.

You’ll join a highly skilled visual storytelling team creating cinematic, documentary-style, promotional, brand, and social content that supports one of the most advanced aerospace organizations in the world.

This is an opportunity to work on stories that are visually compelling, strategically important, and unlike anything in a traditional agency environment.

So what’s the job?
In this role, you will edit high-impact video content for marketing, brand storytelling, executive communications, internal campaigns, and social media, helping shape how Lockheed Martin Aeronautics communicates some of its most important stories. You will be expected to bring strong editorial judgment to every project — crafting narrative through pacing, tone, music, sound design, and visual structure, while translating complex ideas into content that feels clear, engaging, and emotionally resonant. This role also includes camera operation in both field and studio environments, requiring comfort capturing interviews, b-roll, and cinematic footage either independently or as part of a larger crew. The ideal candidate understands how to adapt storytelling style across formats and platforms, while consistently helping elevate the creative standard of the team's visual output through mentorship, collaboration, and creative leadership.

Who would you work with?
The Visual Media candidate will report to the Visual Communication Associate Manager. You’ll collaborate closely with producers, directors, photographers, motion designers, and communications partners from concept through final delivery, leading creative conversations early in the process, influencing visual direction, and partnering with stakeholders to define the most effective storytelling approach.

You’re the right person for this job if ...
You’re a strong storyteller with 5 years of experience of creating content that:
Influences people’s thinking
Motivates people to act
Matches or exceeds the production quality audiences experience in today’s media environment
You understand how to build narrative visually, when to simplify, when to create momentum, and how to use editing to strengthen message and emotional impact. You're equally comfortable leading creative discussions, providing constructive feedback, and mentoring fellow creatives while maintaining an exceptionally high creative standard.
You have a strong reel or portfolio demonstrating editorial range, storytelling instincts, and visual craft.
The person we’re looking for:
Demonstrates advanced expertise in digital video production, cinematic storytelling, post-production workflows, motion graphics, and content optimized for digital and social platforms.
Is highly organized with the ability to manage multiple projects at the same time
Has experience working alongside digital creatives (producer/directors, videographers, graphic designers, animators, photographers and freelance artists)
Operates a variety of standard and special-purpose digital video cameras in support of customer/company requirements. Researches, prepares and produces videos for marketing, training, documentation, and other communicative purposes for both internal and external audiences.
Acts as a strategic thinker and trusted advisor, partnering with stakeholders to define communication objectives, recommend the most effective creative approach, influence project direction, and deliver solutions that advance business priorities.

Experience with Premier video editing software

Experience with Adobe After Effects creating motion graphics content

Experience working with a variety of professional digital camera systems, including DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, Canon, RED, and other still photography and cinema cameras.
