Job description

Location: Chicago, IL | On-site | Full-time | Entry-level

About the job

One day it’s a buzzing pop-up, the next it’s a packed event or a busy retail spot. You’ll bring each campaign to life face to face, with a team that matches your energy.

About Evolv

Evolv is a marketing company based in Chicago’s River North. We partner with mission-led organizations and represent them face to face at live events, pop-ups and retail locations, turning conversations into lasting support.

You’ll get the kind of hands-on marketing experience most entry-level roles can’t offer: real conversations with real customers, every day. Progression is based on performance, not seniority, and every leader on our team started in the field. You’ll also be part of a fun, fast-paced, high-energy team where wins get celebrated and coaches are always on hand.

The role

As a Brand Ambassador, you’ll be the face of the campaigns we run, starting in an entry-level marketing role with face-to-face sales at its core. You’ll represent campaigns at events, pop-ups and retail locations across Chicago, building brand awareness, generating leads and winning new customers for the organizations we work with.

What you’ll do

• Bring campaigns to life at events, pop-ups and retail locations around Chicago
• Approach customers with confidence and build rapport quickly
• Explain products clearly and handle questions on the spot
• Generate leads and win new customers for the brands we represent
• Keep your stand presented to a high standard throughout the day
• Review your results with your coach and share what’s working with the team

What we’re looking for

• You’re authorized to work in the US and can work full-time on-site in Chicago
• You get a buzz from meeting new people and can build rapport in seconds
• You stay positive when the day gets busy, and you bounce back quickly from a “no”
• You’re coachable and keen to keep improving
• No experience needed: hospitality, retail, call center, team sport and volunteering experience all count
• Bonus if you’ve studied marketing or worked in a customer-facing role

What you’ll get

• 600–900 per week, paid weekly, plus a performance bonus
• A full-time, on-site role in Chicago
• Paid training, with a dedicated trainer and a buddy to show you the ropes
• A performance-based route up through our Fast Track Leadership Programme
• Spot bonuses, trips and incentives, and an annual awards ceremony for top performers
• Health and wellness support, including virtual urgent and primary care and mental health services
• Regular team socials

Evolv is an equal opportunity employer, and applications are assessed on skills and potential.
