Lead Organizer
We are looking for leaders who are people-focused, systems-minded, and able to see the big picture of how a household functions.
As a Lead Organizer, you’ll guide small teams of Assistant Organizers through decluttering, sorting, and organizing projects in clients’ homes and offices. This role is ideal for someone who can zoom out to understand how a space supports daily life—and then zoom in to execute thoughtful, practical solutions.
We’re especially excited about candidates who bring a creative, grounded leadership style: someone who understands process and structure, but also enjoys problem-solving, visual thinking, and adapting solutions to real families and real homes.

What You’ll Be Responsible For
- Following the Tidyish 3-step organizing system to keep projects efficient, consistent, and enjoyable
- Leading projects on site and guiding Assistant Organizers through each phase of the process
- Seeing the big picture of how a household operates and helping translate that into functional, sustainable systems
- Meeting with clients before, during, and after sessions to understand goals, routines, and challenges—and supporting them through decisions with empathy and compassion
- Overseeing the flow of each project and clearly communicating plans, priorities, and adjustments to the team
- Applying organizing principles and systems thinking to a wide range of households and lifestyles
- Taking measurements and collaborating with the Project Manager on product planning and organizing solutions
- Maintaining quality control and ensuring each space is completed to Tidyish standards—functionally, visually, and practically
- Creating a calm, supportive on-site environment for both clients and team members
What We’re Looking For
- Someone who can see both the details and the big picture
- Strong understanding of—or eagerness to learn—how households function as systems (routines, storage needs, family dynamics, flow of a home)
- Creative problem-solver who enjoys adapting systems to fit real people, not forcing one-size-fits-all solutions
- Calm, confident decision-making—even when plans need to shift
- Emotionally aware and people-centered, especially when supporting clients through decluttering decisions
- Comfortable leading a team through clarity and collaboration, not micromanagement
- Respectful of established processes, while bringing thoughtful ideas and insights
- Physically able to lift up to 25 pounds and comfortable bending, squatting, and standing for extended periods
No professional organizing experience is required. Relevant experience in leadership, hospitality, education, caregiving, design, project coordination, or systems-based work is highly valued.
- Interest in interior design, home aesthetics, or visual styling
- Comfort using basic tools (such as a drill) for light installations like shelving, hooks, or wall-mounted solutions
- Interest in social media, content creation, or storytelling around spaces and systems
- Based in the Richmond area
- Typical hours are Monday–Friday, 9am–2pm
- Availability for 2–3 days per week
Nice to Have (But totally not required!)
Schedule & Availability
Our clients are often navigating busy seasons, emotional overwhelm, or major transitions. Lead Organizers help them see possibility where things feel heavy—and help our team translate that vision into real, livable systems.
This role is a great fit for someone who enjoys responsibility, creativity, and teamwork—and who values being part of a leadership team rather than needing to be the center of it.
