Sr. Counsel, Consumer Transactions

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.

We’re looking for an experienced and highly motivated attorney to help lead Rivian’s legal strategy around consumer product sales – from vehicles and accessories to embedded software and finance products. You’ll advise on everything from retail and e‑commerce transactions to motor vehicle financial services and commercial agreements – bringing deep regulatory fluency and strong business judgment. This role sits at the intersection of law, innovation, and customer experience, reporting to the Associate General Counsel, Consumer Product Sales.

• Draft, review, and negotiate commercial contracts with sales, marketing, and software partners.
• Deliver legal and compliance training to customer‑facing teams.
• Collaborate with engineering and design to ensure compliant customer interfaces and retail touchpoints.
• Develop scalable policies and maintain legal documentation, knowledge resources, and regulatory toolkits.
• Partner cross‑functionally to identify and mitigate legal, compliance, and reputational risk across the consumer experience.
• Other duties as assigned.

• JD from an accredited law school and active bar membership
• 6+ years of relevant legal experience (preferably including in‑house)
