Full Job Description
Role Summary

Rivian is seeking a seasoned program manager to drive critical Remarketing-focused workstreams across the business. This individual will extend executive capacity, drive operating rhythm, sharpen leadership decision-making, and serve as a force multiplier across a business that spans trade-ins, repurchases, lease-end, pre-owned, pricing and residual value, reconditioning, logistics, and wholesale and retail disposition.

This role functions at a tactical, strategic, and operational level. It is designed for a builder who can manage multiple workstreams at once, create structure in ambiguous environments, and move fluidly between executive support, cross-functional coordination, field support, and business performance tracking. Success in this role requires strong judgment, follow-through, and the ability to turn broad priorities into clear actions, owners, and outcomes.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as a strategic thought partner and execution lead for the Vice President of Channel Strategy, maintaining a weekly 1:1 operating rhythm to track priorities, decisions, risks, and follow-up actions
  • Build and maintain the mechanisms that keep the business running well, including leadership cadences, action tracking, decision logs, issue escalation, and communications across workstreams.
  • Synthesize quantitative and qualitative inputs into clear recommendations on business performance, priority tradeoffs, and emerging risks.
  • Help translate process gaps, field feedback, and customer or partner friction into scalable improvements, clearer operating models, and durable playbooks.
  • Track headcount inputs, open needs, and planning dependencies across the Remarketing organization
  • Own the operational bridge between Sales, Delivery, and Service: identify coordination gaps, close handoff failures, and drive durable process improvements across teams
  • Create clear communication flows across teams by filtering inputs, prioritizing open items, and ensuring leadership attention is directed to the highest-impact issues
  • Partner with the Analytics organization on dashboard updates and reporting needs, helping translate business questions into actionable visibility for leaders
  • Act as the editorial and strategic review function for executive materials, ensuring narrative clarity, data integrity, and strategic coherence across briefs, presentations, business cases, and leadership updates.
  • Prepare executive-ready artifacts and leadership communications from draft to delivery, including briefs, presentations, weekly updates, and decision memos.
  • Serve as the landing zone for high-priority, cross-functional work that lacks a natural owner and move it from ambiguity to action.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years in business operations, program management, sales operations, or a similarly cross-functional commercial role
  • Demonstrated ability to lead complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives with competing timelines and ambiguous ownership
  • Strong executive enablement instincts: you anticipate needs, manage up effectively, and drive follow-through on behalf of senior leaders
  • Exceptional project management skills and strong judgment in diagnosing, prioritizing, and solving operational challenges
  • Analytical fluency: comfortable with KPI tracking, performance dashboards, and translating operational data into decisions and escalations
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills: you build executive-ready materials and present credibly to senior audiences
  • Proven ability to influence without direct authority across functions, levels, and organizational boundaries
  • Familiarity with Salesforce, Hex, or similar operations and analytics tooling preferred
