Location: Driftwood, Texas, 78619
Start Date: ASAP
Compensation: $125,000 - $150,000
Schedule: Monday - Friday 8:00am - 5:00pm with flexibility
***Must have years of strictly Household Management/Personal Assistant experience, cannot be combined with Nanny job duties***
Busy family with complex needs is seeking an ultra-organized Household Manager for their household. This is a hands-on position that will set the standard for an efficient, high-quality operation.
Time will be split roughly as follows:
- Main house in Driftwood - 80-90%
- Downtown Austin condo - once every two weeks (rarely used by the family, but sometimes used as a meeting space for one of the principals)
- Ranch between Dripping Springs and Johnson City - once/month
The overarching goal is to make sure that the homes are running like well-oiled machines, and that the other homes are properly prepared for the family's arrival. Some duties will include:
- Staff management, training, and hands-on support (set the standard, but also willing to get their hands dirty - not just managing); develop schedules and checklists
- Constantly seeking ways to gain efficiencies, assess and shift resources, and make sure the right team is in place - the Principals are open to new ideas and approaches
- Expense control for all employees - developing processes and budgets for projects, proposals, approval of projects, etc.
- Create systems to ensure that the home is running/functioning properly (e.g., remote batteries, light bulbs, massage chairs, WiFi, technical troubleshooting, favorite/key items are stocked)
- Personal Assistant duties for both principals: calendaring, organizing projects, making appointments, coordinating child's schedule (coordinating with driver, housekeepers, nanny); maintaining inventory of items (especially leading up to move), and miscellaneous tasks as they arise (e.g., frame/hang picture, move furniture)
- Miscellaneous - see things that need to be done and take care of them without asking (e.g., cutting off tags and disposing of packaging/waste for new items)
- Future: event planning (coordinate with EAs) - particularly when they relocate to Austin eventually
Candidate will be:
- Extremely knowledgeable regarding quality control for housekeeping, care of fine items (clothing, linens, art, luxury wallpaper, etc.), and organization systems (labeling, logical placement of items)
- Able to unify training and staffing in all homes
- Completely trustworthy and ethical, always demonstrating integrity
- A proactive, self-starter with a great work ethic
- Ultra-organized with extreme attention to detail
- Tech savvy and experienced with smart home systems
- Willing to travel between homes as much as needed
- Flexible with duties and schedule, not above any task and willing to assist after hours and weekends when necessary
- An outstanding communicator with excellent common sense, always closing the loop on requests
- Respectful of the Principals' privacy and honors discretion
- Service-minded, but autonomous - anticipating needs without intruding on the Principals' limited time and availability
- A team player, able to interact well with Nanny, Housekeepers, Handyman, Executive Assistants, etc.; able to unite and averse to drama
- Comfortable with 3-year-old child
There will be a two-week trial period for this position.
Note: Family will be relocating from Driftwood to north Austin (River Place) in July 2024 or later depending on renovation schedule.
Benefits:
- 10 days of vacation per year, 3-5 days of sick time

Job Type: Full-time
