Leader Bank is looking for exceptionally dedicated team members to join one of the region’s fastest growing community banks and mortgage lenders. At the time of its founding in 2002, Leader Bank had one branch office, $6.5 million in assets and 7 team members. Since then, the Bank has become one of the most successful banks in Massachusetts with more than $5 billion in assets, 450+ team members, 6 branch offices, and annual mortgage originations of over $2 billion.

We are seeking a dependable, energetic, and hands‑on Event Operations Assistant to support the execution of a large and diverse portfolio of events. This is an entry‑level position offering an opportunity to gain experience in event operations, logistics, and coordination while working closely with all departments across the organization.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being active, working with people, and helping bring events to life from set up through breakdown. Responsibilities include preparing materials, transporting equipment, managing inventory, supporting on‑site operations, and assisting with event coordination before and after events.

The role is physically demanding and requires lifting, carrying, loading, unloading, setting up, and breaking down event materials and equipment. Event days can be fast paced, require long hours, and involve adapting to changing priorities and last‑minute needs.

The ideal candidate is reliable, resourceful, and willing to jump in wherever needed. Experience in hospitality, restaurants, catering, customer service, retail, tourism, or events is highly valued, as success in this role requires a strong service mindset and the ability to remain professional in busy environments.
