Job Description

This position is available at a distinguished private household that values sophistication, discretion, and efficiency in the management of its daily operations and upkeep. The household is a well-maintained, elegant residence that demands a high standard of cleanliness and organization to support a comfortable and welcoming living environment. The team seeks a House Manager/Housekeeper who thrives in an environment requiring a blend of hands-on housekeeping skills along with proactive and thoughtful household management capabilities.

The role is a full-time position, typically scheduled Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, held on-site with flexibility for occasional evenings or weekends as necessary to support special events or hosting duties. Benefits provided include healthcare coverage and competitive paid time off. Additional perks include daily meals and parking accommodations.

The House Manager/Housekeeper will play a crucial role in ensuring the home is maintained to impeccable standards and operates smoothly on a daily basis. Responsibilities will encompass a range of duties from meticulous housekeeping—such as laundry care, organization of closets, drawers, and storage spaces—to managing household supplies and coordinating vendor services. This professional will work closely with the Chief of Staff to oversee maintenance schedules, communicate with service providers, and supervise or coordinate ongoing household projects and seasonal transitions.

Beyond maintaining the residence itself, this role also includes supporting the household’s hosting needs. This involves preparing for and assisting with dinner parties, gatherings, and other hosted events—including tasks like table setting, décor arrangement, staging, and post-event cleanup. The candidate will be expected to perform these duties with a calm and discreet demeanor, ensuring that all events proceed seamlessly and the home remains guest-ready at all times.

In addition, the House Manager/Housekeeper will provide personal assistant and lifestyle support, running personal errands, assisting with travel preparations, and contributing to ad hoc household-related initiatives when necessary. The ability to anticipate household needs, communicate clearly and professionally, and maintain confidentiality is essential.

The ideal candidate should possess strong organizational and time-management skills, an attentive and detail-oriented approach to housekeeping tasks, and a professional yet warm attitude that enhances the welcoming atmosphere of the home. Previous experience in private household management or high-end housekeeping is preferred, as is a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation. Flexibility and adaptability are key traits for this role, reflecting the dynamic nature of household and hosting requirements.

In summary, this position offers an opportunity to join a refined and well-respected private household where excellence in household management and hospitality is paramount. The House Manager/Housekeeper will be a vital contributor to the household’s smooth operation and will uphold the highest standards of care, discretion, and professionalism throughout their work.
