About Us

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

The Sr. Lead, Service Aftermarket Revenue Strategy role is a central connector across teams, bringing the organization, coordination, and prioritization needed to keep many moving pieces aligned toward the same outcome. This is an individual contributor role: you'll need to flex comfortably between enabling others and diving into the work directly, acting with urgency for progress against the objective either way. Oftentimes, execution sits with cross-functional teams, so the ability to influence outcomes without direct authority is critical.

The role is two-fold:

Oversee the big picture strategy of the Service aftermarket revenue (~80% of the role):
- Drive and own the tools for tracking revenue progress in aggregate to steer the multi-year direction.
- Enable and support cross-functional initiative owners through reviews or analyses to ensure consistency of rigor and approach.
- Own or help incubate early-stage revenue initiatives while a formal business owner is being identified.
Provide general leadership support across the broader Service Strategy & Business Insights organization (~20% of the role).
