Lead HR Business Partner, COO/CFO
Scout Motors Inc., Charlotte, North Carolina, United States, 28245
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, it 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 electrifying an iconic American brand, digitizing it, and loading it with American innovation. Respect for communities, for work and play, with vehicles that are at home at a camp site, a job site, or on a Tuesday commute. Respect for our customers by developing two powertrains that meet their requirements—an all‑electric powertrain and the Harvester™ range extender powertrain that includes a built‑in gas‑powered generator with an estimated 500 miles of combined range.
