Intern, Brand & Strategy

Location: Charlotte, North Carolina, United States Department: Strategy & Brand

Here at Scout Motors, we're carrying forward the heritage of one of the most iconic American vehicles in history. A vehicle dating back to 1960. One that forged the path for future generations of rugged SUVs and trucks and will do so once again.

But Scout is more than just a brand, it’s a legacy steeped in a culture of exploration, caretaking, and hard work.

The Scout brand is all about respect. Respect for the past and the future by taking an iconic American brand that hasn’t been around for a while, electrifying it, digitizing it, and loading it with American innovation. Respect for communities by creating a company that stands for its people and its customers. Respect for both work and play, with vehicles that are equally at home at a camp site, a job site, or on a Tuesday commute. And respect for our customers by developing two powertrains that meet their requirements — an all-electric powertrain as well as the Harvester™ range extender powertrain which includes a built-in gas-powered generator with an estimated 500 miles of combined range.

At Scout Motors, we empower our talented, inclusive, and entrepreneurial teams to innovate. What makes a Scout employee? Someone who is a visionary and a leader, who seeks new paths and shares lessons learned. A knowledgeable doer who collaborates across the company to build better. A go-getter with unrivaled passion.

Join us at Scout Motors and be part of shaping the future of transportation. If you're ready to drive change and make history, apply now!

You'll take on meaningful projects aligned with Scout's goals, applying your academic knowledge to real-world challenges under the mentorship of our leaders.

About the Team

At Scout Motors, the brand is more than a logo—it’s how we show up in what we say, what we create, and who we connect with. The Strategy & Brand team brings that to life. They shape how we tell our story, how we communicate, and how we build awareness and trust with the people we want to reach. In this role, you’ll develop campaigns, create content, and build partnerships that feel natural to the brand and stand out for the right reasons. You’ll help answer a simple but important question: why Scout matters—and make sure that message is clear and consistent everywhere people experience us. This work combines creativity and strategy, and it has a direct impact on how people see and connect with the company. If you’ve ever seen something you helped create resonate with people, and want to do more of that, this is a place to do it.

Team placement and project scope are discussed during the interview process.
