Role Summary Rivian is seeking a Business Operations Lead to serve as the intelligence layer between the Customer Analytics and Sales & Delivery leadership. This role owns the source of truth for all performance KPIs reported by Sales & Delivery — ensuring the data is clean, consistent, and presented in a way that provides actionable insight and drives decision‑making.

It is designed for someone who can move fluently between data and narrative, assess performance across site, regional, and portfolio levels simultaneously, and connect macro business trends to the micro‑level patterns playing out across individual teams and locations. Success in this role requires strong analytical judgment, a sharp editorial instinct, and the ability to tell a clear story with data to an executive audience.
