About The Position

Rivian is looking for a Brand Partnerships Lead to bring to life the partnerships that put Rivian in front of the right people in the right moments. This is a newly shaped role, so expect to write the playbook as you go: sourcing partners, partnering with BD to structure deals, and turning a handshake into a multi-channel program that moves both brands forward. You'll work across Marketing, Business Development, Legal, Finance, and Product to make sure every partnership is seamlessly executed for maximum impact.

Requirements

7+ years in brand partnerships, sponsorships, or strategic marketing.
A history of sourcing and closing partnerships that delivered measurable brand value.

A self-starter who's at ease without a clear template.
Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.

Develop and execute a partnerships and sponsorship strategy aligned to Rivian's brand and business goals.
Identify, prioritize, and pursue partners that amplify Rivian's marketing strategy
Guide agreements end to end, balancing brand fit, reach, and commercial terms.
Build durable relationships with partner executives and marketing leaders, and keep cross-functional teams aligned on delivery.
Partner across Marketing (Brand, Social, Content, Events, etc) to bring each partnership to life flawlessly
Measure partnership impact and double down on what works.
