About The Position

At Northrop Grumman, our employees have incredible opportunities to work on revolutionary systems that impact people's lives around the world today, and for generations to come. Our pioneering and inventive spirit has enabled us to be at the forefront of many technological advancements in our nation's history - from the first flight across the Atlantic Ocean, to stealth bombers, to landing on the moon. We look for people who have bold new ideas, courage and a pioneering spirit to join forces to invent the future, and have fun along the way. Our culture thrives on intellectual curiosity, cognitive diversity and bringing your whole self to work — and we have an insatiable drive to do what others think is impossible. Our employees are not only part of history, they're making history. We're hiring a Producer & Delivery Lead to ensure our gaming, interactive, and immersive content (AR/VR/360) experiences are built right and launched on time. You'll run sprints with agencies, turn ideas into clear technical requirements, manage timelines and approvals, and ensure quality across security, performance, and accessibility. You'll also manage analytics, CRM/CDP tags, and event tech (QR/UTM), keep the development backlog healthy, and partner with Legal, Compliance, and IT so every build meets company policies and has the green light before launch. This position is located in either Los Angeles, CA (Space Park) OR Falls Church, VA (Headquarters). Commuting to one of these offices is required. This is not a remote position.
