We put a little thought into our application process. You’ll find the details at the end!

Are you the person everyone looks to when it’s go time?

You walk into a project, see the whole picture in about 30 seconds, and already know who should start where. You can feel when a day is slipping behind schedule, and you fix it before anyone else notices. You lead calmly, you move fast, and you never cut corners.

If that’s you, we’d love to meet you!

Who We Are

Organized by Ellis has spent over 15 years transforming homes across Los Angeles, from stunning Bel Air closets to full-scale moves for some of the city’s most discerning clients. Our projects are high-touch, high-standard, and genuinely fun. There’s nothing quite like walking out of a home at the end of the day that looks and feels completely different than it did when you walked in..

We grow our team carefully, and we invest in our people through real mentorship and dedicated training.

The Role

The day of the sessions you run the show on site. You’ll lead a crew of one to five organizers, own the plan for the day, and work hands-on alongside your team from first walkthrough to final reveal.

As Lead Organizer, your job starts before you arrive on site. You coordinate the logistics of the job, contact the client, manage shopping + how products will get to the site, assign tasks and other project management items as needed. We use a lot of programs + apps and you must be proficient and able to easily navigate a computer and phone.

This work is personal. Our clients are often in the middle of a move, a life change, or a space that has overwhelmed them for years. You’ll guide them through decisions about their belongings with warmth and patience, all while juggling a hundred moving pieces and keeping your team on pace to finish strong. You do it with grace so the client feels lighter than when you arrived.

Session day looks like this:

• Take care of any admin tasks or logistics before arriving on site
• Quick huddle with the organizers on the job
• Greet + walk the space with the client and build the game plan
• Assign tasks across your crew and keep every part of the job moving
• Organize hands-on right alongside your team while supervising all assigned tasks
• Track progress throughout the day and re-plan when things shift
• Deliver the OBE standard, on time, every time
• Log your notes and do necessary admin in our project management app at day’s end

One day it’s a gorgeous primary closet. The next it’s a garage that has seen better days. Both get the same care, the same standard, and the same wow at the end.

What You Bring

• 2+ years leading a crew or team on deadline-driven projects. Production, events, hospitality, retail management, construction coordination, or professional organizing all count.
• You run parallel tasks without breaking a sweat. You delegate, prioritize, track progress across your team, and re-plan on the fly.
• You know what comes first. You read the natural order of a project and hold the detailed finishing work until the groundwork is done.
• You lead from the floor, not the sidelines. You’re hands-on alongside your crew while keeping the whole job moving.
• Warm, patient, and polished with clients, with total discretion (many require an NDA).
• A strong eye for detail and aesthetics, because how a space looks is part of how it works.

You don’t need organizing experience, but you do need the passion. Our team is obsessed with organizing and with making our clients’ lives better. Maybe your pantry is labeled at home, or you’re the one your family calls before every move. That counts. We’ll teach you our methods, our standards, and the luxury client experience. What we can’t teach is leadership, hustle, and heart.

Nice to have: organizing or move management experience, or a background in luxury residential environments.

The Basics

• Live within 3 to 5 miles of our West Hollywood HQ. Leads regularly pick up products and supplies before sessions, so being close matters.
• Reliable vehicle (SUV preferred), valid driver’s license, current insurance and a clean background check
• Great with apps and technology (we use them all day long)
• Comfortable on camera for occasional social media filming
• Able to bend, reach, climb stairs, lift up to 40 lbs, and stay active for up to 8 hours
• Consistent and reliable availability week to week
  

Schedule

Sessions typically run 9am to 5pm, Monday through Friday, with the occasional later day. Weekends are optional if you want them.

We have consistent work for the right person, typically 25 to 40 hours a week. Hours aren’t guaranteed, but our Leads stay busy. While working with OBE, we ask that you not work with other organizing companies or take independent organizing clients.

Why You’ll Love It Here

• $35 to $40/hr based on experience
• Full control over your own time off, minimal approval process
• Mileage reimbursement over 20 miles, on the job errands and paid drive time over an hour
• Cell phone reimbursement
• Paid sick days
• Client referral bonus
• No work on major holidays
• Real growth tracks and mentorship
• A team that takes the work seriously without taking itself too seriously
