Food Runner/Support, Sweeney's

Food Runner & Support, Sweeney's on Boylston

Welcome home! Since 1900, The Lenox has been a Back Bay icon: independent, full of character, and serious about hospitality (but never stuffy). We give our team the freedom to surprise and delight guests in their own way, and for a lot of travelers, we're their home base in Boston. Our people are a big part of why.

Sound like you?
You get a buzz from a packed dining room. You love good food. You're a team player who takes pride in getting it right, and you like keeping things moving. If that's you, we'd love to meet you.
