About The Position

DEFEND is seeking a versatile Field Producer & Editor to create authentic, engaging content that documents the people and places it serves. The role travels to construction sites, farms, ranches, rural properties, trade shows, customer locations, and other real-world environments.

The position also maintains an organized content library and represents DEFEND professionally and respectfully in the field.

The role requires frequent travel and comfort working outdoors in changing weather, noise, lighting, schedules, and field conditions. DEFEND describes its culture as remote-first and outdoor-centric, with opportunities to use company products and participate in outdoor activities and community projects.
