As an Inside Product Guide, you'll typically focus on one part of the Rivian customer journey — whether that's taking inbound calls on our company line, supporting customers over chat, helping customers complete their delivery tasks, or working new sales opportunities — while being trained across the full journey so you can step in and help wherever you're needed. As you ramp, you'll build full working knowledge of the customer journey end to end, becoming a true swiss-army-knife who can support a customer through any part of their journey with confidence, accuracy, and care.
