Who We AreSCOUT is a smart shopping companion that lets you save products from anywhere on the internet, organize them into collections, and set a target price for everything you want. When a price drops to your number, SCOUT tells you so you never pay full price again.
Prox finds the best total basket price across retailers in real time; no tab-switching, no manual comparisons, no missed discounts. One search, the smartest checkout.
Both apps exist to make shopping more intentional and put money back in shoppers' pockets. Now we need someone who can tell that story on camera.
The RoleYou'll help grow SCOUT and Prox on TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts through authentic, scroll-stopping short-form content. Think price-drop reaction videos, wishlist reveals, haul savings breakdowns, and "how did I shop without this" moments. Your videos will go live on real brand accounts — this is portfolio-building work, not busywork.
What You'll Do• Script, film, and edit short-form UGC-style videos showcasing SCOUT and Prox features and wins
• Build content around price tracking, shopping organization, gift lists, and collaborative wishlists
• Pitch creative hooks and jump on trending formats that make both brands discoverable and shareable
• Help manage content calendars and posting schedules
• Track trends across shopping, lifestyle, and personal finance content and bring your best ideas to the team
• (Optional) Help identify and brief external UGC creators
What We're Looking For• Currently enrolled in a college or university program (marketing, communications, business, fashion, or related field preferred)
• Fluent in TikTok and Instagram — you know what stops the scroll and why
• Comfortable filming yourself on a smartphone and editing in CapCut, InShot, or similar
• A natural storyteller who writes punchy hooks and tight scripts
• Someone who genuinely loves shopping, deals, and the thrill of a good bargain
• A self-starter who thrives in a remote, async-friendly environment
• Bonus: e-commerce or app content experience, or a following of your own
What You'll Gain• Hands-on content creation experience with two consumer shopping apps
• Live, published work for your portfolio — with real performance data to point to
• Direct mentorship from the founders and marketing leads at SCOUT and Prox
• A flexible, fully remote schedule built around your classes
• Academic credit (we'll coordinate with your institution)
