Scout: Northeastern’s Student Led Design Studio

Scout Roles – Fall 2020

👋 Hey there, we’re Scout! We’re a student-run design studio that aims to foster the design
community at Northeastern University. We’re now accepting student applications to join the
following teams:

– Studio: Work on real client work alongside student designers + developers who are
excited about learning on the job and doing things for the first time. We work on branding,
packaging, UI/UX design, web development, and application development and are always
looking to work on something new.

– Marketing + Events: Promote and advocate for the design community through hosting a
biweekly speaker and interactive workshop series. We’re looking for candidates that love
to curate a 🔥instagram feed, write the next-big-hit on Medium, or photograph events.

– Labs: Work with the City of Boston Mayor’s Office of New Urban Mechanics on a civic
research and design project, implementing a human-centered design process to
prototype interdisciplinary solutions for our city. We’re seeking designers, developers,
and creative thinkers from all backgrounds and fields of study.

– Conference: We’ve built two design conferences (and a webisode series!). Want to help
us make the next? We’re looking for designers, developers, and doers to work in
branding, web, and logistics positions.

– Production: Conceptualize and create original multimedia content with a team of visual
storytellers. We’re looking for all kinds of creators with skills in videography, editing,
motion graphics, script writing, content creation, and production management. Bring any
other clever creative tricks you’ve got up your sleeves, and let’s bring it to life on screens!
We’re a new team exploring new creative paths in Scout– join us and work on video
projects, product photo shoots, podcasts, and more fun stuff.

– Management: Scout is unique in that we are entirely student-run, yet we operate very
similarly to a real-world design business. Our management team is the driving force
behind Scout, setting the vision and daily direction of the studio in order to successfully
guide their teams. As a student-led program focused on educating our members, Scout
presents the opportunity to learn by trying, failing, and eventually succeeding, all in a
tight-knit community where work ethic and curiosity are highly valued.
