Lockheed Consulting Jobs in Dallas, TX (NOW HIRING)

The defense industry is undergoing rapid transformation, with increasing global complexity and evolving security demands redefining what it takes to compete. Organizations are under growing pressure to deliver with both precision and speed while adapting in real time. Success requires more than incremental improvement-it demands the ability to build capability, scale performance, and drive meaningful change across the enterprise.
In response to urgent national priorities-including the acceleration of munitions production in support of the Department of War-Lockheed Martin is building a new kind of internal consulting capability to meet the moment. This team operates at the intersection of strategy and execution, partnering directly with internal production sites and external suppliers to unlock capacity, remove constraints, and rapidly scale output to support mission-critical priorities.
Lockheed Martin Consulting was established to lead this effort. As the internal consulting arm, we partner across the enterprise to solve complex challenges, accelerate performance, and embed sustainable improvements. We are helping to reshape the defense industrial base-bringing structured problem solving, deep operational expertise, and a bias for action to environments where speed, rigor, and execution are paramount.
We operate at the forefront of a cultural shift toward agility, accountability, and performance excellence. Our ambition is to become the enterprise's partner of choice-delivering measurable impact and enabling sustained performance in support of mission-critical outcomes.
