The work is a mix of household and property management across multiple homes, coordinating vendors and maintenance, organizing systems and records, managing travel and logistics, and helping with occasional events and fundraising support. There are also long-standing projects like building out household manuals, organizing supplies and systems, and generally helping us get on top of everything that’s built up over time. They have a great long-term housekeeper and a small, trusted group of vendors. This is very much a partnership role—someone who helps things run better, not someone who is just executing tasks. They offer flexibility, competitive pay depending on experience, PTO, holidays, and a health insurance stipend. Some travel may come up, but it’s planned. Most importantly, they are looking for someone who actually enjoys this kind of work and gets satisfaction from making a complicated life feel simple and handled. look forward to hearing from you!
