Summary
Rivian announced a structural reorganization in an October 23 memo that resulted in about 600 job cuts — roughly 4.5% of its workforce — focused on go-to-market functions including sales, delivery, delivery/mobile operations and the consolidation of Vehicle Operations into Service. CEO RJ Scaringe is also acting as interim chief marketing officer while the company searches for a CMO. This is Rivian's third reduction this year, following a 140-person manufacturing cut in June and another trim to commercial sales and service staff in September. The company cited the need to profitably scale around the R2 launch and lower cost-per-vehicle as drivers of the adjustments, while reporting healthy deliveries and substantial cash and financing access.
Rivian cut 600 jobs affecting its Sales, Delivery, Vehicle Operations/Service (go-to-market functions) team as of October 28, 2025.
That is roughly 4% of the 15,000 people Rivian employs.
