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. 

As a Sr. Content Designer at Rivian, you’ll work closely with design, product and engineering teams to shape our user experience and bring new features to life.

• Craft content that appeals to potential owners and enthusiasts alike.
• Proactively seek information from cross-functional partners.
• Moonlight on projects like naming and new product positioning.
