What are the responsibilities and job description for the House Painting Team Lead position at Aphrodite Painting?
**When applying please include a brief cover letter explaining why you're leaving your current job and want to work with us!**
Female, trans and non-binary house painters wanted! We do not discriminate when hiring, just want to encourage individuals from across the identity spectrum to apply. We are looking for an individual who has experience leading a house painting crew: understanding task order, making an action plan, delegating. I prioritize quality work over speed, but efficiency will be rewarded (with a raise). Must be able to cut in by hand, and cleanly. We mainly paint historic homes, and never new construction. Our company motto is "artists who paint houses," and we pride ourselves in our superior fine-motor skills and ability to hand paint around delicate surfaces.

We are a very small company and I strive to make working for us as rewarding as possible (I know that it's in my best interest as well as yours). Starting pay is $25/hr, with a raise depending on good leadership skills and efficient, clean painting. During the summer season I often give project bonuses when we finish quickly and do good work. Commission pay if you bring us a lead that pans out. Opportunities for taking small projects on solo, paid a lump sum of 75% of the estimate labor price (usually pans out to nearly $50/hr). Willing to be flexible with scheduling as long as you're communicative with advance notice. I am fundamentally opposed to the capitalist mindset that leads companies to exploit their employees - I want to pay you as much as the business can afford, but as such, I only hire people who do damn good work.
PLEASE, when you apply, send a message or include a cover letter describing any experience you have had leading a crew. If you haven't been a crew lead but think you'd be up to it, tell me why! I'd also appreciate knowing why you work in house painting, and what you want out of your career. Be aware, I will likely overlook applications without a detailed, personal message attached.
