Job 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.

Influences people's thinking
