[Hiring] Edit Assistant @Duet

Role Description

You’re the person who sees the box that needs to move and moves it. You don’t wait to be asked, you don’t need the whole picture to do your part well, and you leave a room cleaner than you found it.

You’ve done physical, fast work before: event or catering crews, install or moving help, or you’re a parent with school-hours time who wants work that matters.

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 Assistants are the hands of the Collective:

• Unpacking
• Carrying
• Staging
• Breaking down boxes
• Clearing packing material
• Getting each room ready for the Stylist or Organizer working beside you

It’s physical, it’s fast, and it’s the way into the Edit Collective.

Qualifications

• You’ve done physical, fast work before, and you liked it.
• You see what needs doing before anyone points at it.
• 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.
• 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.

Requirements

• A flat fee of $200 to $350 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.

Benefits

• Opportunity to grow into Stylist or Organizer assignments.
• Flexible work schedule based on your availability.

Next Step

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.

• Tell us about your most physical workday. What made it hard, and how did you finish it well?
• Tell us about a time you saw something that needed doing before anyone asked. What was it, and what did you do?
• Tell us about a time you handled something fragile or valuable that wasn’t yours. How did you protect it?

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.
