Sr. Program Manager, Field Service Product Quality and Readiness

RivianPlymouth, MIFull-time
View Job
Compensation$131K - 174K a year

Lead complex projects and teams to deliver technological and operational solutions across industries. | Senior leadership with expertise in program management, cross-functional collaboration, and operational execution. | 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 At Rivian, handing over the keys isn't just a transaction; it is the start of an adventure. As the Program Manager, Field Service, Product Quality & Readiness, you own the operating system that ensures every vehicle — whether heading to its first owner or returning to Rivian for its next chapter — meets the highest standard of readiness. You operate at the critical junction where the factory ends and the customer journey begins. Your mission is twofold: architect the intelligent, scalable systems that perform the final validation of new vehicles before they reach a customer's driveway, and build the reconditioning and remarketing infrastructure that will define Rivian's pre-owned business as the fleet matures. This is a role that spans the full vehicle lifecycle. On one end, you own the pre-delivery inspection process — designing quality gates, capturing high-fidelity data to drive systemic improvements upstream with Manufacturing and Engineering, and driving rigorous operational execution to ensure vehicle presentation is immaculate. On the other end, you own the service organization's remarketing strategy — building the reconditioning pipeline, designing lease return inspection processes, and scaling upgrade installation capabilities that turn returning vehicles into a revenue engine. You report directly to the Senior Director of Field Service Operations and partner deeply with Sales, Delivery, and Remarketing to ensure that Field Service is not just a repair operation, but a strategic enabler of the entire vehicle ownership lifecycle. Responsibilities Own Product Quality & Vehicle Readiness • Architect the Pre-Delivery Operating System: Define and continuously improve the end-to-end process from vehicle arrival through delivery-ready status — spanning pre-delivery inspection, final quality checklist, and containment management. Your systems determine whether every vehicle meets the standard. • Drive Quality as a Closed-Loop System: Build the data infrastructure and feedback mechanisms that connect field quality observations back to Manufacturing and Engineering. Transform pre-delivery inspection data into actionable upstream quality improvements, reducing defects at the source rather than catching them in the field. • Lead New Platform Readiness: Own the quality and readiness strategy for new vehicle platform launches. Define the pre-delivery inspection protocols, train field teams on new platform-specific quality standards, and ensure the readiness pipeline can absorb increased volume and complexity during ramp periods. • Own Vehicle Readiness Metrics: Define, track, and drive improvement across vehicle readiness indicators — including inspection throughput, dwell time, defect rates, and delivery-ready conversion. Build reporting systems that give operations leadership real-time visibility into the readiness pipeline. Build and Execute the Remarketing Strategy for Service • Design the Reconditioning Pipeline: Architect the service organization's reconditioning capability to support Rivian's growing pre-owned business. Define capacity requirements, quality standards and throughput targets. • Stand Up Lease Return Infrastructure: Build the end-to-end process for on-site lease return inspections at Service Centers. • Own Vehicle Upgrade Installations: Define and scale the process for post-return vehicle upgrades — including performance configurations and feature enablement. • Partner with Remarketing on Volume Planning: Work closely with the Remarketing team to translate their demand forecasts into service capacity plans. Ensure the field network is prepared for volume inflections — including the lease return wave anticipated as the R1 fleet matures. Drive Cross-Functional Partnership & Influence • Partner with Sales and Delivery to Improve the Handoff: Own the integration between Field Service vehicle readiness and the commercial organization's delivery execution. Drive improvements in the pre-delivery to delivery handoff that reduce friction, eliminate last-mile quality escapes, and improve the customer's first ownership moment. • Influence Senior Leadership on Quality and Readiness Strategy: Synthesize field quality data, remarketing readiness status, and delivery improvement opportunities into clear strategic narratives for senior leadership. Surface risks early and influence investment decisions that affect the quality experience across the vehicle lifecycle. • Build the Bridge Between Factory and Field: Serve as the connective tissue between Manufacturing, Engineering, and Field Service on product quality. Ensure that field-observed quality trends drive systemic changes upstream, and that upstream product changes are reflected in field readiness processes. Qualifications • 8+ years of experience in Program Management, Product Quality, Process Engineering, or Operations within a complex hardware-intensive industry such as automotive, aerospace, or advanced manufacturing. • Cross-Domain Fluency: A demonstrated ability to operate across organizational boundaries — you've built programs that required partnership with manufacturing, commercial, and field operations teams simultaneously. You are comfortable influencing without authority across functions that don't report to you. • Customer Obsession: A track record of connecting technical processes to customer outcomes. You understand that "Quality" is defined by the user experience, not just the spec sheet — and you've built systems that enforce that standard at scale. • Operational Rigor: Experience defining and deploying Standard Operating Procedures for field or factory teams. You understand that while the factory builds the product, the field team delivers the experience, and you know how to drive compliance in product presentation, quality, and cleanliness. • Systems Thinking at Scale: Proven experience defining, deploying, and owning technical systems and data pipelines — specifically around quality control, inspection workflows, or diagnostic tooling. You've built systems that turn high-volume operational data into closed-loop quality improvements. • Executive Communication: Exceptional ability to synthesize complex operational realities into clear, strategic narratives for senior leadership. You can stand in front of a VP and explain why a quality trend matters, what you're doing about it, and what investment decision is needed — with confidence and precision. • The Operator-Engineer Mindset: You are equal parts operator — focused on execution, logistics, and people — and engineer — focused on systems, optimization, and tools. You've spent time on the floor and in the data. This is Who You Are • The Customer Advocate: You never lose sight of the human being waiting for their keys — or the one returning their vehicle and trusting Rivian with the next chapter. You view every defect, whether a software bug or a smudge on the glass, as a friction point in someone's adventure, and you fight relentlessly to eliminate them. • The Lifecycle Thinker: You see vehicles not as units moving down a line, but as products with full lifecycles — from first delivery to return to remarketing. You architect systems that serve the vehicle at every stage, not just the initial handoff. • The Cross-Functional Operator: You are at your best when operating across organizational seams. You've earned credibility with manufacturing leaders, commercial partners, and field operators — not through title, but through the quality of your thinking and the reliability of your execution. • The Data Architect: You use data to diagnose systemic issues, build compelling business cases, and ensure every recommendation is backed by measurable field impact. You don't just report metrics — you build the instrumentation that makes them trustworthy. • A Long-Term Builder: You are focused on building sustainable, scalable systems that will power Rivian's quality and readiness standards for years to come.
