Job description

Arrange For It Organizing & Consulting is a full-service professional organizing company serving busy professionals and business owners throughout the Boston area. We provide thoughtful organizing, decluttering, packing and unpacking, move support, and space-transition services designed to create calmer, more functional homes and workspaces.

Since 2018, we have helped clients organize their spaces, prepare for moves and renovations, pack and unpack, and sort through years of belongings with patience and care. Our work is practical, hands-on, and tailored to each client's space, priorities, and needs.

Role Description

We are looking for on-call Assistant Organizers as well as experienced organizers who may have the skills and broader project awareness to serve as Lead Organizers on appropriate projects.

This is hands-on, project-based work in client homes, offices, and other spaces throughout the Boston area. Depending on the project, organizers may declutter, sort, categorize, pack and unpack, set up functional organizing systems, prepare spaces for moves or renovations, and help clients work through belongings connected to moves, downsizing, or other life transitions.

This role requires someone who can work both independently and collaboratively, use good judgment, recognize appropriate next steps, adapt as project needs change, and treat clients, their belongings, spaces, and personal information with care and discretion.

Client sessions are typically 4–6 hours. Some consistent weekday availability is required, with occasional evening, weekend, and short-notice availability helpful, such as within the week.

Qualifications

• Organized, dependable, punctual, professional, and detail-oriented.
• Strong communication, time-management, and problem-solving skills.
• Able to see both the larger goal and the important details while maintaining a steady, productive pace.
• Comfortable working independently and collaboratively and taking initiative without needing every step laid out.
• Professional organizing or related experience is valuable. Experience in moving or packing, staging, interior or spatial design, hospitality, customer service, or other hands-on work may also be relevant.
• Comfortable standing for extended periods; walking, bending, kneeling, sitting, and reaching; carrying items up and down stairs; and lifting approximately 20–30 pounds, with occasional items over 30 pounds.
• Comfortable working in varied environments, including basements, garages, storage areas, tight spaces, and occasionally dusty areas.
• Reliable personal transportation and willingness to travel approximately 20–30 miles from the Boston/02136 area for most projects, occasionally farther.
• Smartphone and responsiveness regarding projects and scheduling.
• At least two years of post-secondary education.
• Background check may be required.

For candidates with the right combination of skills and interests, there may also be opportunities to contribute in a hybrid capacity in areas such as digital organizing; CRM, administrative, project-management, or business systems; and social media, marketing, photography, video, or content creation.

Compensation & Hiring Process

Assistant Organizers are paid $20–$30 per hour, and Lead Organizers receive $33–$40 per hour, depending on experience and qualifications.

This is an on-call, project-based opportunity based on client demand; hours are not guaranteed. Client sessions are typically 4–6 hours.
