Join our professional organizing team
Part-Time Administrative Assistant
Our locally based (not virtual) administrative assistant will work about 10 hours per week, paid an hourly rate, to keep the business side of Move Over Mess running smoothly so our organizers can stay focused on our clients’ homes.
Your qualifications:
You are DETAIL-ORIENTED! You catch the typo in the email, the date that doesn’t match the calendar, and the bin that’s missing from the receipt. You double-check your work because you know the little things are what make our clients feel taken care of.
You are TECH-SAVVY, and you’re comfortable working in Google Drive, Docs, and Sheets. You use AI tools like Claude to work smarter, and you pick up new software quickly. You’ll be learning HoneyBook, Homebase, Slack, Airtable, and Mailchimp, so you’re excited about that, not intimidated by it.
You are a GREAT COMMUNICATOR, warm and professional in writing and on the phone. You can write a newsletter that sounds like a friend and a client email that sounds like a pro, sometimes in the same afternoon.
You are RESPONSIVE. Our clients and our team count on quick, clear answers, and you reply to messages within 24 hours, often much sooner.
You are TRUSTWORTHY. You’ll have access to client names, addresses, photos, and the inside scoop on their homes, and you treat all of it with complete discretion.
You are a great TEAMMATE with a growth mindset. You take feedback well, you ask questions when you’re unsure, and you’re excited to help a growing small business get even better.
What you will do:
Marketing: Keep our Google Business profile fresh with new photos, posts, and review responses. Help write and publish blog posts on our website, and put together our Mailchimp email newsletters.
Scheduling: Coordinate project dates with clients and build the team schedule in Homebase, keeping everyone in the loop through Slack.
Client onboarding: Send proposals, contracts, and deposit requests through HoneyBook, answer client questions, and help new clients feel excited and ready for their first session.
Client offboarding: Send final invoices, share before-and-after photos, follow up after each project, invite happy clients to leave a Google review, and let them know about our maintenance sessions.
Product management: Purchase organizing products, prep them for projects, handle returns, restock our Shed inventory housed in Wauwatosa, and keep our inventory tracking up to date in Airtable and Google Sheets.
You will need to be available about 10 hours per week, and it’s preferable to have availability every day Monday through Friday. It will be 20% in-person and 80% remote, and therefore you cannot live outside of the Greater Milwaukee area. Much of this work can be done from home on a flexible schedule during business hours, with some in-person time for product runs, returns, and restocking. You’ll also need to be available to meet in person with Julia in Wauwatosa on a weekly basis for the first 90 days of this role.
You have your own reliable transportation. You’re comfortable lifting and carrying boxes of product and bins up to 40 pounds.
