Social Media Manager, Executive Comms

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.

Rivian is seeking an incredibly creative individual who lives and breathes social storytelling and has a passion for telling the Rivian story through one of our executives.

You'll ensure the resulting content is high quality, innovative and authentic.

You'll make data-driven decisions, measure impact and improve overall social performance over time, leveraging both quantitative and qualitative metrics holistically.

To be successful in this role, you must thrive in a fast-paced and ambiguous environment, and tackle challenges with a flexible and solutions-oriented mindset. You will report directly to the head of our Content Studio within the Communications team and will work closely with our executive.
