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.

The Service Advisors are the virtual, end-to-end point of contact for Rivian owners/fleet companies needing roadside assistance and/or vehicle, charging and/or connectivity education/repair/maintenance.

As a German Advisor, you will be working with German-speaking customers as needed, but you will also be supporting English-speaking customers.
