Remote Video Editor Jobs in San Ramon, CA (NOW HIRING)

ABOUT US:
Astro Mechanica is a vertically integrated aerospace company building a faster, more connected future. Our mission is to democratize high-speed flight by making supersonic travel flexible, accessible, and sustainable. We believe that rapid, on-demand, point-to-point global mobility will become the new standard for moving people and goods across the planet. To achieve this, we are integrating our advanced airframe and engine technologies-which include Duality™, our proprietary dual-use propulsion system-with a new flight operations model to make supersonic transport as efficient and economical as commercial air travel is today. In the near term, we are developing adaptable, high-speed systems to close aircraft performance gaps for the United States government.
WHO WE ARE:
We're a team of passionate engineers dedicated to advancing aerospace. We're generalists with specialist depth, united by a flat structure and a shared obsession with building things that work well. We move fast, stay pragmatic, and let engineering excellence speak louder than hierarchy.
WHO YOU ARE:
You are a recognized leader in brand and communications with a strong aesthetic sense and an instinct for narrative. You've shaped brand and run marketing for rapidly growing companies-ideally in aerospace, defense, or other technically complex domains-and you're as comfortable defining strategy as you are executing it. You are an outstanding writer and editor, capable of translating sophisticated technology into clear, compelling messaging for diverse audiences.
WHAT YOU'LL DO:
As Director of Marketing, you will build and own Astro Mechanica's brand and marketing engine from the ground up. You will craft the narrative, lead campaigns, and ensure our story is told with clarity, credibility, and conviction across every external touchpoint.

• Define and steward Astro Mechanica's brand voice, visual identity, and messaging system.
• Lead design and creative resources to produce high-impact content for investors, talent, partners, and senior U.S. government and defense leadership.
• Oversee the creation of compelling, on-brand content across web, presentations, announcements, and long-form formats.
• Elevate the voices of Astro Mechanica's leadership through differentiated thought leadership, public commentary, and executive communications.
• Partner closely with leadership on investor-facing materials, including fundraising decks, investor updates, milestone announcements, and strategic narrative.
• Ensure all external-facing materials are cohesive, polished, and aligned with our brand and business objectives.
• Build and lead a small, high-output marketing and creative team over time.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

• 8-12+ years of experience in marketing, brand, and/or strategic communications.
• Proven experience building or significantly reimagining brand and marketing from an early stage-ideally as Director/Head of Marketing, Director/Head of Communications, or similar senior role.
• Demonstrated success running campaigns that drove hiring and revenue outcomes.
• Exceptional writing and editing skills, with a portfolio spanning executive comms, web copy, decks, and long-form content.
• A passion for aviation or defense technology.
• Strong creative taste and experience collaborating closely with designers and video teams to produce cohesive, on-brand work.
• Ability to deeply understand technical products and translate them into buyer- and candidate-friendly messaging.
• Comfortable operating both strategically and tactically-designing the strategy and also doing the execution.
• Experience leading and developing small, high-output creative/marketing teams.
• Bay Area location a plus; remote with travel acceptable.

PERKS & BENEFITS:

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance, including Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)
• 401(k) program and transparent stock option plan
