At Newbridge, we want you to feel confident and clear every time you apply. Whether itâs your first shift or youâre looking to level up, this guide breaks down what each role actually meansâso you can show up and crush it.
âš Brand Ambassador (BA)
aka: The Face of the Brand
Youâre the energy. The vibe. The person who makes someone smile, remember the brand, and maybe walk away with a sample or story to share.
You might be:
Hyping up a new product
Running a giveaway
Collecting leads or encouraging app downloads
Educating consumers on key brand points
Perfect for:
Outgoing, proactive people who love talking to others and making things happen. You donât need a ton of experienceâjust a great attitude, strong communication, and a profile thatâs polished and ready to go.
đ§ Team Lead (TL)
aka: The One Everyone Counts On
Youâre the go-to onsite. You lead by example, keep things on track, and are the link between Newbridge HQ, the client, and the staff team.
Youâre responsible for:Prepping staff with key info
Problem-solving onsite
Checking in with clients and reporting back
Submitting a post-event recap
Perfect for:
Experienced Brand Ambassadors who are ready for more. If youâre organized, reliable, and cool under pressure, this is your move.
đ Product Specialist (PS)
aka: The Brand Brain
Youâre not just repping the brandâyou know it inside and out. Youâre the expert on the floor at events where deeper knowledge matters.
You might be:
Demoing tech
Guiding product trials
Answering detailed consumer questions
Perfect for:
Confident communicators with a background in sales, retail, or product knowledge. Experience with the brand or category helps a lot here.
đ Production Assistant (PA)
aka: The Event Ninja
Not all roles are front and centerâand thatâs exactly what makes PAs so essential. Youâre the one moving furniture, managing lines, setting up signage, and making it all look seamless.
You might be:
Handling load-in/load-out
Managing registration
Running gear or materials
Supporting the event flow behind the scenes
Perfect for:
Detail-driven team players who thrive in fast-paced environments. Experience with events, live shows, or production is a bonus.
đš Standby & Backup Roles
aka: Be Ready to Step In
Want to get your foot in the door? These roles are key.
Onsite Backup: You show up in uniform, ready to work if needed. If not used, youâre released and still compensated for your time.
On-Call Standby: Youâre not onsite unless we call you in. If we do, youâll jump in fast and earn a bonus for stepping up.
Perfect for:
New staff looking to prove reliability or anyone eager to work future gigs. Flexibility and professionalism go a long way here.
đ Student Ambassador
aka: The Campus Connector
You're the voice of the brand on campusâwhether that's hosting pop-ups, sharing on socials, or rallying your community around something exciting.
You might be:
Planning or promoting a campus event
Posting branded content
Handing out swag and encouraging sign-ups
Giving feedback from the student POV
Perfect for:
Social, organized students who love brand storytelling. Youâll work independently with guidance from Newbridgeâs teamâplus, it looks amazing on a resume.
