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 Finance and Accounting Intern will support the team with day-to-day accounting activities, month-end close tasks, and basic financial analysis. This role is designed to provide hands-on exposure to corporate finance and accounting processes, systems, and controls while contributing to accurate and timely financial reporting.

THIS IS WHAT YOU’LL DO:

• Assist with accounts payable and accounts receivable processing, including invoice review, coding, and basic reconciliations.
• Support month-end and quarter-end close activities (data gathering, journal entry preparation support, and documentation).
• Help prepare and maintain schedules, reports, and supporting documentation for internal and external reporting.
• Perform basic variance and trend analysis on selected P&L and balance sheet accounts.
• Support documentation and testing of processes and controls, including updating process maps and checklists.
• Assist with ad hoc projects (e.g., data clean-up, spreadsheet updates, support for audits or process improvement initiatives).
• Collaborate with Finance and Accounting team members to ensure data accuracy, timeliness, and compliance with internal policies.
• Assist with simple data queries, reconciliations, data clean-up and validation activities using SQL, Databricks or other data tools and finance data sources.

THIS IS WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

• Actively pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business Administration, or related field.
• Strong foundation in basic accounting principles; coursework in financial accounting required, management accounting a plus.
• Analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail and accuracy in data entry and reconciliations.
• Comfortable working with Excel/Google Sheets (filters, pivot tables, lookups preferred) and learning new finance systems.
• Interest in learning basic SQL or modern data/analytics tools (e.g., Databricks, Hex, or similar) to support data-driven finance and accounting work.
• Ability to manage multiple tasks, meet deadlines, and work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
• High level of integrity, ownership, and willingness to learn, with a proactive and team-oriented mindset.

This is a full-time, paid internship with a monthly salary.
