Job Description

About Us

Ambassador Group is a high-touch recruiting firm specializing in the construction industry, serving custom and high-end residential builders across the Bay Area. We’re known for pairing deep relationship-building with sharp execution, and we're scaling both our impact and visibility. We operate on the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) and take brand seriously — we want our creative presence to reflect the clarity and craft we bring to every client and candidate relationship.

About the Role

We’re hiring a Fractional Creative Director / CMO to lead our visual identity, brand storytelling, and day-to-day marketing content. This is a lean-start, production-heavy role with room to evolve into strategic creative leadership.

You’ll report to the Integrator (Managing Partner) and act as our go-to resource for brand expression and market education. This means making — not just managing — the creative that fuels our growth: social content, digital assets, light video, and more. You’ll also help structure the brand ecosystem and funnels that attract both top-tier talent and high-value hiring clients.

What You’ll Do

Creative Execution (Core Scope)

• Design marketing graphics, social media content, and digital assets weekly

• Own and manage Ambassador’s social media calendar across 5+ channels

• Maintain brand consistency across all platforms (visual, tonal, and structural)

• Build and manage reusable templates in Canva or Adobe

Content & Marketing Ops

• Create and organize shareable visuals for client and candidate engagement

• Support featured candidate promo and campaign assets

• Provide light design support for email, job descriptions, and pitch decks

• Perform brand audits and contribute to refining messaging over time

Strategy & Collaboration

• Translate broad positioning into bite-sized visual content

• Provide input on campaign, funnel, and channel performance

• Recommend optimizations across marketing workflows

• Manage freelance creatives or vendors, if/as needed

Tools You’ll Use

• Canva (primary design platform)

• Miro (collaboration/mapping)

• Adobe Suite (as needed)

• Social: LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, YouTube

• Google Workspace, Drive, etc.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience as a Creative Director, Brand Designer, or Marketing Lead

• Strong portfolio of modern, clean, professional design work

• Skilled in turning brand principles into modular, scalable content

• Ability to own both design + delivery — hands-on production required

• Experience working with founder-led or early-growth teams

• Comfort working with minimal supervision and limited inputs

• Alignment and enthusiasm for our mission, vision, and values

What You’ll Bring

• A sharp design eye and builder mindset

• Comfort balancing autonomy with collaboration

• A modern understanding of social channels and storytelling

• Visual empathy for our brand archetype: The Sage / Mentor / Guide

• Resourcefulness, speed, and comfort building the plane while flying it

Compensation & Logistics

• Fully remote, async-friendly, PT-Pacific hours preferred

• 3-month initial contract with potential for expansion based on impact

Why Join Us?

We’re a values-aligned, founder-led team that’s ready to build for the next chapter. You’ll be stepping into a highly trusted position where your insight, structure, and discipline can shape the future of how we grow — and how we lead.

If you love creating compelling visuals, brand story-telling, high-trust founder collaboration, and getting credit for building smart things early — we’d love to talk.

Appendix: Build & Grow

Here's how we envision the layers of your evolving impact:

Foundations

• Audit and refine our brand assets for consistency and clarity

• Produce graphics and light copy for weekly posting cadence

• Create shareable marketing assets (e.g., featured candidate promos, talent strategy explainers)
