The Creative Studio is responsible for defining and delivering the visual and narrative identity of the brand.
We are looking for a hands-on Content Creator to concept, make, and ship a high volume of content across our channels. You are a doer at heart — a maker who’s as comfortable behind a camera or in a design file as you are writing a caption — and you’re excited to experiment across formats in the digital age.
This role sits at the intersection of design, film, and copy, with a broad creative skill set and at least one dedicated craft (for example: photography, copywriting, design, or film) where you go deep. You’ll help keep the bar high while moving at the pace of social media, with a strong understanding of the nuances between organic and paid.
This role will be hybrid, convenient to our Southern California offices.
Content Creation: Concept, design, shoot, and/or write social-first assets for Rivian channels — including short-form video, simple motion, stills, and copy — balancing speed with craftsmanship.-
Social-First Storytelling: Translate briefs, product features, and brand narratives into simple, scroll-stopping ideas that work natively across platforms (e.g., TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, LinkedIn).
-
Organic & Paid Adaptation: Tailor assets and messaging for both organic and paid placements, understanding how creative needs to flex for performance while staying on-brand.
-
End-to-End Making: Take projects from rough idea to finished asset — including light storyboarding, shooting or sourcing visuals, basic editing, and writing headlines/captions — in partnership with Creative Studio peers.
-
Design & Layout: Create clean, on-brand layouts for social posts, stories, and lightweight campaign assets using Rivian’s design system, typography, and visual guidelines.
-
Video & Motion Support: Assist with planning, shooting, and editing short-form video and simple motion graphics (e.g., basic transitions, type-on, lower thirds) to bring concepts to life.
-
Collaboration: Partner closely with the Creative Studio, Organic Social, Performance Marketing, and Integrated Marketing teams to ensure assets align to briefs, brand standards, and channel best practices.
-
Quality & Consistency: Maintain a high quality bar across a high volume of output — checking details like spelling, pacing, framing, and brand alignment before publishing or handoff.
-
Experimentation & Trend Awareness: Stay tuned into cultural, platform, and format trends — proposing new ideas, tests, and formats that feel fresh, relevant, and true to Rivian.
-
Experience: 2–4 years of experience in a creative role focused on content creation (in-house, agency, or freelance). Strong portfolios with less experience will also be considered.
-
Craft Specialty: Demonstrated strength in at least one core craft area — such as photography, videography/film, design, or copywriting — with a portfolio that shows your point of view.
-
Broad Creative Skill Set: You bring a mix of creative skills and a willingness to try new formats and tools, while developing one or more core specialties (for example: photography, copywriting, design, or film).
-
Attention to Detail: Strong eye for composition, pacing, and polish, with the ability to spot issues and self-QC before sharing work.
-
Collaboration & Communication: Excellent communication skills, openness to feedback, and comfort working closely with cross-functional partners in a fast-paced environment.
-
Mindset: Curious, resourceful, and eager to learn new tools and formats. Passionate about sustainability, electric vehicles, technology, and the outdoors.
-
Ways of Working: Must thrive in fast-paced, sometimes ambiguous environments, while being flexible, collaborative, and reliable, with excellent organization and adherence to deadlines.
