About The Position

Leader Bank is seeking a dependable, energetic, hands-on Event Operations Assistant to support the execution of a large and diverse portfolio of events. This entry-level position provides experience in event operations, logistics, and coordination while working with departments across the organization. The role involves preparing materials, transporting equipment, managing inventory, supporting on-site operations, and assisting with event coordination before and after events.

This is an on-site role that includes work in the office and at event locations.

Event days can be fast-paced, involve extended hours, and require adapting to changing priorities and last-minute needs.

The Event Operations Assistant supports events such as community events, sponsorship activations, grand openings, conferences, client events, team member programs, meetings, and other special events. The role also provides planning, coordination, and administrative support, from initial planning through post-event follow-up. The position is based at Leader Bank’s Corporate 180 location in Arlington, Massachusetts, and requires travel to event locations throughout the region.

The listed salary range is $52,414.74–$65,518.68. Leader Bank notes that actual salary may vary based on factors including location, experience, and performance. Eligible team members may receive health insurance, a wellness program, life and disability insurance, retirement savings, paid holidays, paid time off and vacation, and other compensation or incentive programs.
