About Rivian
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.
Role Summary
We are seeking a Workplace Investigator to protect trust, accountability, and informed decision-making by leading prompt, objective, and well-documented workplace investigations across the business.
This role sits at the intersection of People, employee relations, labor reelations, and operational rigor. You will conduct sensitive inquiries involving harassment, discrimination, bullying, retaliation, policy violations, and certain allegations of misconduct, theft, fraud, or misuse.

You will partner closely with Employee Relations, Labor Relations, Legal, Compliance, Security, People Business Partners, and business leaders, helping shape how investigative processes, reporting, and supporting tools work together in a scalable, data-informed operating model.

Protect organizational trust: Lead impartial, well-scoped investigations that help employees feel heard, leaders act responsibly, and the company respond with integrity.
Turn facts into clear decisions: Gather evidence, assess credibility, and produce clear findings that enable timely, fair, and well-reasoned outcomes.
Strengthen consistency at scale: Help improve investigative practices, reporting standards, and case quality across a growing, fast-moving organization.
