About Rivian

Rivian is on a mission to keep the world adventurous forever. This goes for the emissions-free Electric Adventure Vehicles we build, and the curious, courageous souls we seek to attract. 

As a company, we constantly challenge what’s possible, never simply accepting what has always been done. We reframe old problems, seek new solutions and operate comfortably in areas that are unknown. Our backgrounds are diverse, but our team shares a love of the outdoors and a desire to protect it for future generations. 

Role Summary

Marketing is at the forefront of how we build the Rivian community, creating intuitive, innovative, and beautiful moments that our customers will love. We strive to understand and predict our customers’ needs and behaviors, leveraging these insights to inform the design of compelling experiences across each touchpoint throughout their journey with Rivian.

Responsibilities

• Write customer-facing copy that spans Rivian's owned channels: website, email, social and retail spaces
• Distill our brand mission, product, and purchasing process into accessible, inviting language for customers
• Take an active role in brief building and product positioning – information gathering and synthesis are core to the role – your detective skills will be put to good use

• Highly proactive – you don’t wait for a brief to be assembled for you, and don’t expect things to be tidy
• Self-starter, comfortable with ambiguity and the ability to juggle multiple priorities under tight deadlines in a fast-paced, changing environment
• Impeccable briefing skills, strong communication skills (written and verbal) and a proven track record of highly effective collaboration
