DESCRIPTION

A Life Well Organized (NYC)
Luxury Home Organization & Move Management Firm

A Life Well Organized is a boutique professional organizing company serving high-net-worth clients primarily in and around New York City. Our team includes artists, creatives, and detail-driven professionals who love transforming spaces and improving people’s lives through structure, clarity, and a deeply empathetic approach to client service.

We are currently seeking a Part-Time Home Organizer to support lead organizers on home-organizing projects, move management, decluttering & unpacking, closet setups, space planning, and household systems creation.

This is a great opportunity for actors and creatives who want meaningful, flexible, hands-on work that can integrate smoothly with auditions, rehearsals, and performance schedules.


What This Role Looks Like

- Part-time, flexible, project-based
- Hours vary significantly week to week; some weeks may have several sessions, others may have none
- You submit your availability in advance, and we match you with projects that fit
- Sessions are typically 4, 6, or 8-hrs
- Work is entirely onsite in clients’ homes; you will typically partner with a lead organizer and grow to working solo on certain projects, once trained

In addition to project-based work, some team members may be matched with long-term “maintenance clients.”
This normally involves weekly or bi-weekly visits to maintain the systems we’ve established in their home and occasionally assist with simple, action-oriented lifestyle tasks or errands. Maintenance clients offer a level of consistency for organizers who are a great fit and enjoy building ongoing client relationships.


Responsibilities

- Assist with decluttering, sorting, categorizing, packing, unpacking, and creating intuitive organizational systems
- Support lead organizers in full-home and multi-day move-management projects
- Help maintain established systems for long-term maintenance clients
- Occasionally assist with basic assistant-style tasks or errands tied to a client’s weekly or bi-weekly lifestyle needs
- Maintain a calm, respectful, polished presence in clients’ homes
- Translate a client’s lifestyle, habits, and needs into functional systems that truly support their daily life
- Follow detailed workflows accurately and consistently
- Lift and carry boxes/bags up to 25 pounds
- Protect client privacy and maintain strict confidentiality, including signing NDAs when required
- Communicate clearly and reliably with your team and clients


You’re a Great Fit If You…

- Have strong natural instincts for order, structure, spatial flow, and creating systems
- Are highly empathetic — able to understand how others live, what they need, and how to build systems that genuinely support their lifestyle
- Enjoy hands-on, physical work and being on your feet for several hours
- Are drawn to interior design, visual cohesion, and creating beautiful, functional spaces
- Find satisfaction in folding, categorizing, refining, and restoring clarity to a room
- Are reliable, communicative, punctual, and flexible with scheduling
- Can hold appropriate boundaries and maintain a composed presence
- Understand that organizing is often emotional and can support clients with compassion
- Are comfortable working in luxury homes and in highly discreet environments
- Work well both independently and as part of a team

People who thrive in this field often:

- Loved rearranging their room or organizing their belongings as kids
- See both the micro details and the big-picture flow of a space
- Are natural observers and problem-solvers
- Derive joy from helping people feel more at ease in their home


Requirements

- Must live in the NYC area (preference for Manhattan-based applicants)
- Comfortable working in homes across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and occasionally the surrounding area
- Ability to follow instruction and replicate systems consistently
- Ability to lift at least 25 pounds
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
- Must be highly reliable, responsive, and punctual
- Willingness to sign confidentiality agreements or NDAs as needed
- Ability to provide 2–3 references upon request
- Background in service, hospitality, stage management, wardrobe, caregiving, interior design, or retail organization is a plus but not required


Compensation

- $30 per hour.
- This is a 1099 independent contractor role.
- Opportunities for increased responsibility, recurring clients, and higher rates may become available over time.
