The Story Scout is in charge of finding and pitching original stories for the show in the realm of paranormal activity. This is a remote, contract position. The Story Scout can be located anywhere in the world. There are no set minimum hours, but the scout is expected to pitch every two weeks.
Story scouts will receive a monthly retainer ($1500 USD) as well as bonuses for successful pitches ($300 per story) that make it into an episode. In addition, depending on experience, interest, and availability, story scouts may also have the chance to produce individual Spooked stories, for which they will be paid separately (starting at $140 per minute). The contract is six months and is expected to start in late February.
