El ambicioso puede tener un deseo ardiente de conseguir poder, riquezas, dignidad o fama, pero no siempre lo hará valiéndose de artimañas poco claras; en cambio el arribista sí.

Explanation:
Careerist: someone who considers his/her career to be more important to them than anything else - often used to show disapproval. Source: Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English.
Arribista: persona dispuesta a triunfar a cualquier precio.Source: Diccionario Larousse.
Ambicioso: que tiene ambición, ansia o deseo vehemente de algo.
Source: Diccionario Larousse.
No se cual es el contexto, pero me parece que ambicioso tiene una connotacion menos negativa que arribista.
