We are seeking a Senior Manager, Global Cash, Liquidity & Treasury Operations to scale and evolve Rivian’s global treasury function.
This role sits at the intersection of finance, global liquidity strategy, banking infrastructure, and digital enablement, with a clear mandate to modernize treasury operations, strengthen investment oversight, and build scalable solutions that support global expansion.
