The GEOINT Production Editor plays a crucial role in ensuring that reports meet the Agency and Intelligence Community guidelines for quality and compliance. This position involves reviewing and formatting text and graphics, applying copy editing skills to enhance text quality, and effectively communicating concepts visually. The editor will collaborate closely with analytic authors, GEOINT Operations Officers (GOOs), and Intelligence Directors (IDs) to support GEOINT production and dissemination. In this role, the editor will provide guidance on the layout, presentation, and accuracy of graphics and text, troubleshoot production issues, and assist with editing PowerPoint presentations and briefing materials. The position requires proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint), Adobe Acrobat, and other software suites, with minimal supervision. Participation in training, forums, and conferences is also expected to stay current with industry standards and practices. This role requires rotating shift work in a time-sensitive operations environment, emphasizing the need for adaptability and responsiveness to changing requirements. The ideal candidate will have a minimum of 3 years of copy-editing experience, particularly with a background in graphic design. They should be proficient in collaborating with analysts to convey high-quality, time-sensitive GEOINT to NGA's external customers. The ability to provide pre-publication quality reviews, identify gaps in product quality, and offer clear, professional feedback on layout, grammar, design, and consistency is essential. The editor will also review visual elements like maps, charts, and illustrations for adherence to standards, verify classifications, and provide classification guidance. Excellent customer service skills, clear communication, and effective team relationships are critical for success in this role.
