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.
Sitting on the Strategy & Brand Voice team, the Lead Copywriter will write copy that engages, informs and delights our customers and community.
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
- Integrate deeply into Rivian’s communications channels, collaborating with product managers, engineers, subject matter experts, approval groups, content and comms team members to create consistent, compelling messaging for customers
- Organize and track feedback across multiple writing assignments, rapidly integrating feedback to keep content velocity high
- Champion clarity and challenge internal stakeholders to maintain Rivian’s brand voice and customer experience
Qualifications
- 8+ years marketing copywriting experience
- Relentlessly curious and unwilling to settle for surface level understanding (we can’t provide clarity we don’t ourselves possess). Be ready to become an expert on anything our customers need to know!
- 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
- Experience distilling technical products and processes into simple, digestible bits of communication
- Experience working across multiple subject matter experts and organizational perspectives
- Excellent time management and organizational skills
- EV, tech, automotive and/or startup experience a plus
