Role Overview

The Project Lead is Graceful Spaces’ highest-level in-home leadership role. This position carries full ownership of complex organizing projects from planning through completion, ensuring every detail reflects the standard, strategy, and client experience Graceful Spaces is known for.

Project Leads operate as both field leaders and strategic operators. They manage large-scale, multi-phase residential and travel-based projects, lead teams of organizers, and serve as a key extension of company leadership in the field.

This role is best suited for individuals who have already demonstrated strong leadership in high-pressure, client-facing environments and are ready to take full accountability for outcomes—not just execution.

Must Have Experience

• Proven leadership experience in a hands-on, client-facing environment (professional organizing, operations, hospitality, event production, interior/design, or similar)

• Experience managing teams and leading people through complex, multi-step work

• Strong background in project ownership with accountability for outcomes (timelines, budgets, quality, or client experience)

• Comfort making real-time decisions in fast-paced environments with shifting variables

• Ability to lead with clarity, confidence, and calm under pressure

Core Responsibilities

• Own projects from pre-planning through final walkthrough and follow-up

• Lead large teams (4–14+ organizers depending on scope)

• Manage budgets, timelines, scope, and project execution at a high level of accuracy

• Serve as the primary point of client communication during projects

• Anticipate risks, identify issues early, and bring solutions—not problems—to leadership

• Lead daily execution strategy, team pacing, and on-site decision-making

• Ensure all spaces are completed to Graceful Spaces standards before project close

• Conduct final client walkthroughs and uphold the final quality standard of the brand

• Mentor and develop Lead Organizers and emerging leaders

Leadership Scope

Project Leads are responsible not only for execution, but for outcomes. They own:

• Project success

• Team performance

• Client experience

• Budget integrity

• On-site culture and standards

They are expected to think ahead, adapt in real time, and ensure every project reflects both operational excellence and elevated client experience.

Travel Expectations

This role is based in Austin, Texas, with regular opportunities for national and international travel. Travel is a core component of certain projects and is required when scheduled.

Schedule

Monday–Friday, with availability required between 7:00 AM–7:00 PM for project needs, communication, and travel days as applicable.

Physical Requirements

Ability to lift to 50 lbs, climb stairs, and work in active home environments for extended periods. Must be comfortable working in varied residential conditions (pets, dust, fragrances, etc.).

Qualifications

Associate degree, certification, or equivalent professional experience required. Significant leadership and project management experience strongly preferred.

Role Overview

The Lead Organizer is a hands-on, in-home leadership role responsible for executing organizing projects at a high standard while actively leading a small team in the field.

This role is centered on excellence in execution. Lead Organizers are deeply involved in the organizing work itself while also guiding Associate Organizers and Support team members through daily project flow, quality standards, and client experience.

Lead Organizers are trusted owners of their work. Depending on project size, they either fully own smaller projects or own assigned spaces within larger, multi-layer projects led by a Project Lead. In every context, they are accountable for execution, quality, team leadership, and client experience within their scope of ownership.

Must Have Experience

• Professional organizing experience or equivalent hands-on experience in a high-standard, client-facing role

• Demonstrated ability to lead or coordinate a small team in real time

• Strong organizational instincts and ability to execute detailed work at a high level

• Experience receiving direction and translating it into structured, high-quality execution

• Comfort communicating with clients in a warm, professional, and confident manner

Core Responsibilities

• Lead execution of pre-planned organizing strategies in assigned spaces or smaller projects

• Work alongside the team while actively organizing and modeling best practices

• Guide 1–3 team members through daily workflows and task execution

• Maintain pace, quality, and momentum throughout project days

• Communicate with clients when serving as the most senior on-site leader

• Track project progress, updates, and adjustments in real time

• Ensure all spaces are fully completed to Graceful Spaces standards

• Support final walkthroughs and ensure client experience is seamless and elevated

Leadership Scope

Lead Organizers are responsible for:

• On-site execution excellence

• Team guidance and support

• Space-level ownership (not full project ownership unless assigned)

• Upholding standards in real time

• Supporting client experience through presence and communication

They are highly skilled practitioners of the work and lead through doing—not managing from a distance.

Travel Expectations

Based in Austin, Texas with occasional national and international travel opportunities depending on project assignment.

Schedule

Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM–6:00 PM project availability window, with defined on-site working hours depending on project assignment.

Physical Requirements

Ability to lift up to 50 lbs, climb stairs, and work in active residential environments for extended periods. Must be comfortable in varied home conditions.
