About the position

BAE Systems is seeking a Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) Production Editor to support the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) Operations Center. 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.
