Description
We don't need a Legal Assistant who knows everything, just one who knows Critical Thinking and isn't afraid of Persuasion, here at Lockheed Martin. What you're really weighing is $88,000 - $126,000 against 4 years, with general ownership and Lockheed Martin growth tipping the scale.
Key Responsibilities
- Convert Critical Thinking chaos into a backlog someone can actually work
- Pressure-test assumptions before they harden into expensive mistakes
- Move general decisions forward when consensus stalls
- Trade quick wins for fast-moving fixes when the math favors patience
- Maintain clear documentation of work performed and outcomes delivered
- Keep the Lockheed Martin backlog ruthlessly honest about what's truly next
- Keep KYC handoffs warm so Arlington partners never feel dropped
- Coach newer mid-level teammates through their first messy general project
What You'll Bring
- Comfort navigating ambiguity when the brief arrives half-written
- Willingness to commute to Arlington, VA or work flexibly as needed
- Comfortable owning projects from concept through delivery
- Solid understanding of general best practices and industry standards
- An unfussy attitude and eagerness to learn new skills
What sets Lockheed Martin apart isn't size but a slow-to-anger Arlington culture that refuses to ship Discovery Management it wouldn't trust itself. We measure Legal Assistant success by problems solved, not hours logged at your Arlington, VA desk.
You'll be supported by $88,000 - $126,000, strong health coverage, conference budgets, and a team that promotes from within.
Live feed: the Arlington, VA role remains unfilled and actively recruiting.
