Edit Organizer
DUET EDIT COLLECTIVE | DENVER METRO | INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
You’re the person who opens a drawer and already sees the system. Where things go, why they go there, and how the client will keep it that way without thinking about it. You love when things make sense, and you love it more when they stay that way.
You’ve organized for a living or run something complex: professional organizing, move management, household or estate management, or operations and executive support. You document as you go, and nothing lives only in your head.
We’re building the Edit Collective, a bench of independent Stylists, Organizers and Assistants who finish homes for Duet clients across the Denver metro. Edit Organizers build the systems inside a home. Pantries, closets, kitchens and storage. Packing a house before a move and unpacking it after. Documenting what the client keeps, stores, donates, consigns or lets go, so nothing gets guessed at on moving day.
THE STORY
Why this role exists.
Moves are where homes fall apart. We manage the whole move for our clients, and professional movers do the heavy lifting. Someone has to own what goes where. That’s you.
Every door and drawer matters. One missed desk or bookcase costs hours on moving day. We walk the house cabinet by cabinet before the movers ever arrive.
A system that doesn’t hold isn’t a system. Clients come back to Edit because the work lasts.
THE SYSTEM
How the Edit Collective works.
We don’t make it up as we go. Clients come to Edit from our design projects and on their own, for organizing, moves, styling, seasonal décor and floral. Every assignment runs the same way.
You choose your work. We offer assignments with a date, a scope and a fee. You accept the ones that fit your life and decline the ones that don’t, with no penalty.
Every assignment has a plan. A Duet lead owns the client relationship and is on site to hold the standard. You bring your own way of getting it done.
The team changes by project. We match people to the house. A deep bench means more choice for our clients and more work for you.
Discretion is the job. You never photograph, post or share a client’s home, their belongings or their name. We photograph the work, with the client’s approval.
Every box has a destination.
THE WORK:
What you’ll own:
- The inventory. Room by room, documented before move day, so the crew never has to guess.
- The labels. Every box has one, and every label means one thing.
- The crew in your rooms. You direct the movers clearly and kindly, through a translator when needed.
- The system after. Pantries, closets and kitchens unpacked into something the client keeps up without help.
THE RHYTHM
A day on a whole-house move
THE WEEK BEFORE
You walk the house with our lead, door by door and drawer by drawer, and the inventory gets built: keep, store, donate, consign, trash.
8AM
You’re in before the movers, inventory in hand. When they land, you direct the crew through the rooms you own, two movers to each Edit professional.
10AM
Labels go on as boxes close, matched to the inventory.
1PM
The calls nobody planned for. You make the clear ones, flag the rest to our lead, and keep the crew moving.
3PM
You check your rooms against the inventory before anything leaves the house.
4:30PM
You hand our lead a clean list of what’s done and what’s still open.
THE PATH
How you grow here
STEP
01
Trial day.
A paid day on a live Edit job beside our team.
STEP
02
Alongside our team.
You build inventories and run labels with our lead on every move.
STEP
03
Your own rooms.
Leading your own rooms on a move is earned, and the fee grows with it.
THE FIT:
What we’re looking for:
- You’ve organized for a living or run something complex. NAPO membership is a plus, not a requirement.
- You help clients decide without deciding for them, and you stay calm and direct with a crew that’s moving fast.
- You answer fast. Assignments fill quickly, and we need a yes or a no the same day.
- You’re available for the work as it runs. Most assignments are weekday daytime. Moves run two to four days in a row, and fall and the holidays are our busiest season.
- You’re on your feet all day and lift up to 35 pounds. The movers handle the heavy pieces.
- You have reliable transportation across the Denver metro.
- You run your own business, as an LLC or a sole proprietor, and bring your own tools of the trade.
THE OFFER:
What we pay, how you get paid:
A flat fee of $250 to $600 per assignment, quoted before you accept it and set by the scope of the work and your experience with us. Never hourly. Your trial day is paid.
You invoice us from your own business with a W-9 on file, and we pay within 10 business days of your invoice. This is independent contract work, so there are no employee benefits.
THE PEOPLE
Who we are, honestly.
Our principals came up in big rooms: large commercial firms, hospitality groups, national architecture and construction practices. We chose residential because of the personal connection with homeowners and what it feels like to create the spaces people live in.
Duet Design has been here since 2011. Duet Build is its sister firm, and Duet Forma is our architecture practice. Together we cover the full path from architecture to interior to built. We do livable luxury for clients who care about the difference between done and well done.
Duet Edit is a service of Duet Design, and it’s where that care shows up in the details. The drawer that finally makes sense. The table set before the guests walk in. The box that lands in the right room on the first try.
This isn’t for everyone. If you’d post a client’s home, wait to be handed the next task, take a day to answer a text, or want this as a way into a design job, we’re not the right fit. If you notice what others miss and you follow through, we’d love to meet you.

To apply
Apply through our posting on Betterteam with names and contact information for two references, homeowners or business owners you’ve worked for. Tell us the role you want and roughly how many days a month you’d like to work. Then give us two paragraphs on each question below. Don’t send a cover letter. We don’t read them. Before your first assignment in a client home, you’ll complete a paid trial day and a background check.
01 Walk us through a pantry, closet or room you organized. How did you decide on the system, and is it still holding?
02 Tell us about a time a client couldn’t decide what to keep. How did you get to a decision without taking over?
03 Tell us about the most complicated move or pack-out you’ve worked. How did you track what went where?
We read every application. We respond to every application. We move fast when we like what we see.
Duet Design welcomes applicants of every background.
