Visual Media - Level 3

Job Description:

Description:Visual Media - Level 3

What You Will Be Doing
We’re looking for an exceptional Producer/Editor with strong 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 spaneting, 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.

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, contributing creative ideas early in the process and helping define visual approaches that best serve the message and audience.

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 are highly organized, comfortable managing multiple projects, and confident collaborating across disciplines while maintaining a high creative bar.
You have a strong reel or portfolio demonstrating editorial range, storytelling instincts, and visual craft.
The person we’re looking for:
• Has experience with digital video production, digital workflows, motion graphics, video post-production, and producing for social media 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 spaneting, training, documentation, and other communicative purposes for both internal and external audiences.
Acts as a strategic thinker and trusted advisor, partnering with stakeholders, recommend the most effective mediums and deliverables, and shape creative concepts that support business objectives.
Executes video production across the full lifecycle — from pre-production planning and script development through location scouting, shooting, sound design, motion graphics, final edit, and archival delivery.
