Role summary

The Specialist, Production Steering & Documentation will be responsible for managing and improving documentation and information management for Production topics within the CPO Office. This role involves developing documentation standards, governing SharePoint sites, coordinating steering topics, and creating dashboards for transparency. The specialist will analyze information, apply AI tools for process improvement, and maintain systems like Jira and Confluence. Key responsibilities include preparing for leadership meetings, advising production teams on information management, and resolving issues independently. The role requires a Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience, 5+ years of relevant experience, and advanced skills in documentation, reporting, and collaboration tools.

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!
