More Details:

My name is Blythe, and I buy, renovate, and design houses in the Hamptons, and then either sell them or hold onto them to rent as Airbnbs. I manage and oversee every part of the renovation and design process, including layouts, materials, finishes, fixtures, furnishings, styling, sourcing, budgeting, and construction decisions. Additionally, I work as an Instagram creator, sharing my projects and the journey. My handle is @blythebuilds on Instagram, where I have over 20k followers. I am also hired as a consultant to help clients with their renovation and design projects. I'm looking for my next assistant and right-hand person—someone who can own and drive things forward, use good judgment, and become increasingly independent as they learn the business. I've had virtual and remote assistants, but I'm looking for someone who can be on-site either in the Hamptons or near my primary residence in Connecticut. The role can be part-time or can grow to full-time, depending on the fit. Ideally, you would live on Long Island or in Connecticut, but this is somewhat flexible. You will need to be able to work with me in person at one of those two locations once or twice a week. I live in Connecticut with my husband and our three kids, but personally go out to East Hampton, where the majority of our properties are located, about once a week. We also spend several months there over the summer.
