Job: Assistant Professional Organizer
LMW Edits is a professional organizing company that provides common sense solutions for modern urban living: dealing with the cramped spaces, slammed schedules, and logistical quagmires that come with city living!
The founder, Lucy Milligan Wahl, has spent the past ten years helping busy, successful professionals and their families get their homes organized so they can focus their precious time and energy on the people and passions that mean the most to them. She is passionate about an organized home as the path to a better life.
LMW Edits is seeking Assistant Professional Organizers to assist Lucy on client projects. You’ll shadow her and learn her process as you work, including her unique client-focused approach to home organizing and empathetic yet practical methods for handling the difficult issues that crop up.
The ideal candidate loves organizing, but above all is passionate about helping people. They are willing to learn and open minded to different ideas and ways of living. They don’t just want to serve as an extra pair of hands on the job - they want to share their ideas with the LMW Edits team and use their own life experience to inform their work. They desire to grow into responsibilities and leadership during their time with the company.
