Senior Specialist, Digital Creative

Role:  Senior Specialist, Digital Creative

Location:  Rosslyn, VA (On-site)

Role overview

We’re seeking a highly versatile digital creative to tell stories with compelling visual content across video, 3D, web, and social media. As both a global industrial powerhouse and innovative industry disruptor, Hanwha Defense USA has a great story to tell, and we’re looking for someone who thrives on variety, collaborates freely, and enjoys creating content that gets attention.

This role combines concept development with hands-on production,   using tools like Adobe Creative Suite and even Unreal Engine to bring ideas to life. You’ll work across disciplines—video production, motion graphics, 3D visualization, and digital design—while also helping manage media workflows and production assets. And you’ll have the ability to directly influence and shape outcomes in a highly visible way as we build our brand in the U.S.

This is a new role on a small but growing team, and will report to and collaborate closely with the Senior Manager of Digital Media.
