Intern, Finance

Location: Charlotte, North Carolina, United States Department: Finance

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!

About the Team

At Scout Motors, building something from the ground up means every decision matters—how we spend, how we partner, and how we operate. The Finance & Operations team helps make sure we’re building on a strong foundation. They guide financial planning, manage risk, and ensure we’re operating responsibly as we grow. In this role, you’ll work across finance, legal, audit, and compliance, helping balance smart risk-taking with long-term stability. Your input will shape decisions that affect the entire company—from major investments to day-to-day operations. This isn’t just a support function. It’s central to how we move forward, helping turn big ideas into something we can sustain and scale. If you see financial discipline and strong governance as essential to building something lasting, this is where you can make an impact.
