Rivian’s founder and CEO, RJ Scaringe, is temporarily taking over as the chief marketing officer as the company undergoes restructuring ahead of the R2 SUV launch. This decision is part of a strategic move to streamline operations and improve profitability in the face of economic challenges, including the loss of federal EV tax credits and increased tariffs. The restructuring will result in a 4.5% reduction in workforce, with significant changes in the organization of the marketing, customer experience, and vehicle operations teams.
