Guaranteed Rate is looking for a National Events Assistant. You’re a multi-tasking, detail oriented professional who can execute any project from start to finish without missing a beat. There’s lots to do around here and you love getting the job done right - the bar is set high and you like it that way. You have exceptional communication and time management skills, like to think outside the box, and thrive in a fast paced environment.

Who is GR?

Guaranteed Rate is not your typical company and certainly not your typical mortgage company. Our home base is an old textile building that’s been turned into a hip office with exposed brick and duct work, windows we can actually open during the summer and an open floor plan – no cubicle life here. The awesomeness doesn’t end there, we also have:

  • Free 20 minute monthly massages. It’s true, we don’t want you to be a cramped-up mess.
  • A free on-site nurse. Who needs a doctor’s appointment when our nurse can do it all?
  • An in-house café offering breakfast, lunch and a late afternoon healthy snack. All meals are subsidized so you’ll never pay full price.
  • Access to the office gym for only $25 a year – no really - the whole year. Oh and for a puny fee you can take yoga, Cross Fit or boxing. We like our folks healthy and happy.
  • A 5,000 square foot rooftop deck that’s available to everyone all day with wifi, two bars, music, grills, fun umbrellas and fire pits – provided it’s not covered in snow.
  • Holiday parties? We got’em! Not just major holidays, any holiday….Marti Gras, Valentine’s Day, St. Paddy’s Day, Opening Day, Boxing Day (for our Canadian employee), Sweetest Day, Groundhog Day, etc.. And you’ll play a role in making the fun happen!
  • 401k with some matching, Blue Cross health care coverage – yup, dental and vision too, short-term disability, life insurance – we got ya covered on this one, legal assistance – for a small monthly fee and did we mention the awesome rooftop deck?

While we don’t allow jeans, we also don’t allow suits. We want you to just look your best every day and you’ll fit right in.

So what do we want from you?

  • Plan/execute event details to ensure cohesive results for GRI’s image and brand identity at events
  • Impeccable customer service – you’ll be interacting with hundreds of Loan Officers across the US to help execute their perfect event.
  • Negotiate with venues, event organizers, contractors, and hotels on agenda and cost proposals until contract completion
  • Organize leisure outings including offsite tours, group activities, dining and social experiences
  • Direct the planning/execution of timelines and logistics for each event
  • Creation of marketing materials and signage consistent with GRI image
  • Create, maintain and execute event budget within the pre-approved expenditure allotments
  • Manage multiple events at one time
  • Creativity! How can this event be cooler, more fun or unique?
  • Assist with onsite activation for large corporate events including GR Palooza, Holiday Party, and GR Foundation
  • Patience and a positive attitude. Our company is rapidly growing so we have a constant influx of new Loan Officer’s; we want to make sure we are here to answer any questions, brainstorm cool event ideas and help them grow their business using our team.

Here’s the experience we’d like you to have:

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing, Communications, Business or another related field required
  • 2+ years event planning/coordination
  • Must be organized, detail-oriented and able to meet strict deadlines
  • Familiar with Microsoft Office Suite (Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, Excel)
  • Experience with the Adobe Creative Suite is a plus
