Also — the micromobility company spun out of Rivian — is actively hiring for customer-facing sales and retail roles across five US metropolitan areas.
The listings, posted on the company’s website and LinkedIn, were first spotted by X user ‘ZakWinnick.’
They mark the clearest public signal yet that the startup intends to build a physical commercial presence as its first product reaches a customer.
Among 65 open positions, Also is looking for part-time Sales Associates in Los Angeles, Market Managers in New York, Miami, San Francisco, San Diego, and Seattle.
A Market Coordinator in Denver and two senior positions — a Sr. Manager of PR and a Sr. Manager of Retail Development — round out 12 open roles in its Commercial department.
The retail push comes just weeks after Also‘s valuation reached $1 billion — following a $200 million Series C led by Greenoaks Capital, with additional investment from Prysm Capital and DoorDash.
The company’s funding surpassed the milestone before delivering a single unit to customers — as the TM-B Launch Edition is slated to begin shipping “in the spring.”
Both the Launch Edition and Performance trims are priced at $4,500, with a Base model at $3,500 confirmed for later in the year.
What the Roles Reveal
The Market Manager listings describe a general manager-style role tasked with launching the Also brand across cities and building teams that operate across “mobile and fixed retail environments.”
The language suggests a mix of pop-up activations and permanent locations, rather than a single channel.
Sales Associates report to the Market Manager and are expected to sell in field-based settings.
The Sr. Manager of Retail Development sits above the city-level hires and is the role that ties the strategy together.
It covers the “sourcing, development and delivery of store experiences across a range of formats” — owned Also showrooms, standalone pop-ups, and activations inside partner spaces.
Rounding out the hires, Also is looking for a Marketing Coordinator covering creative, product, sales, e-commerce, retail, and paid marketing, and an e-Commerce Project Manager based in Seattle.
Rivian Spaces
When Also was spun out of Rivian in March 2025, both companies said the relationship would extend beyond shared technology — retail presence and economies of scale were both part of the stated arrangement.
Rivian operates a network of locations it calls Spaces across the US and Canada.
Whether Also will share that physical footprint, build alongside it, or keep the two entirely separate is still unclear, as none of the current job listings reference Rivian Spaces directly.
The micromobility company has noted its products will be sold through its own website and through Rivian retail locations.
Additionally, the TM-B bike is showcased in the EV maker’s Gear Shop.
Product Lineup
Also is one of two companies Rivian has spun out since early 2025 — with the second having been Mind Robotics, focused on the development of industrial AI-powered robots.
Last year, Also launched the TM-B e-bike and the TM-Q quad, and announced a multi-year deal with Amazon to supply thousands of pedal-assist e-cargo quads for delivery fleets across Europe and the United States.
The TM-B is a Class 3 electric bike with a pedal-by-wire drivetrain — no mechanical gears — offering pedal assistance up to 28 mph and a throttle reaching 20 mph.
The battery pack is detachable and uses vehicle-grade cells sourced from Rivian‘s consumer EVs, with range options of 60 or 100 miles depending on configuration. Preorders for the premium trims opened at launch.
The TM-Q is a four-wheeled pedal-assist quad designed for bike lanes, available in consumer and commercial versions.
The commercial variant — to be first deployed in Amazon‘s fleet — can carry more than 400 pounds and is built for dense urban delivery environments.
Last month, DoorDash came in as both an investor and a commercial partner, signing a multi-year agreement focused specifically on autonomous last-mile delivery vehicles.
DoorDash’s co-founder Stanley Tang joined Also‘s board as an Observer, as part of the deal.
Whereas the Amazon agreement was built around human-operated cargo vehicles, the DoorDash partnership is explicitly about autonomy — developing and deploying self-driving small EVs at the intersection of roadways, bike lanes, and road-adjacent spaces.
The most recent capital addition is earmarked for product development, manufacturing scale-up, and international expansion — with the US first, Europe to follow, and tailored vehicles for Asia and South America planned after that.
Also‘s website shows three job listings for emerging markets: two staff engineers based in the UK and a Senior Digital Product Designer in Nairobi (Kenya).
