One of our incredible female Principals is seeking a skilled and upbeat Houseman to help keep everything running smoothly across both a San Francisco residence and office. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys variety—one day you might be perfecting the look of a living space, the next coordinating vendors, running errands, or making sure everything behind the scenes is organized and ready to go. You’ll care for museum-quality furnishings, apparel, and household items, handle daily upkeep like vacuuming, dusting, and floor care, assist with deep cleaning projects, and help keep storage areas, garages, and outdoor spaces immaculate. In this role, you’ll also coordinate and oversee household vendors, manage grocery and supply runs, assist with luggage, drive the principal when needed, and help maintain vehicles so they’re always serviced, fueled, and spotless. You’ll support general household maintenance by scheduling contractors, ensuring all work is completed seamlessly without disrupting the principal’s schedule, and keeping everything organized and running efficiently. A weekly report will help track accomplishments and keep communication flowing. This client is looking for someone with at least five years of experience in a private home who is proactive, detail-oriented, and thrives in a team setting. A calm, can-do attitude, strong communication skills, and the ability to anticipate needs will set you apart. Salary is DOE, with full benefits offered—an amazing opportunity to join a truly fabulous team. Please reach out ASAP.

This role is primarily in-person, especially in the beginning, to build a strong understanding of the home and establish systems, with the opportunity for a few remote workdays over time once everything is running smoothly. The family has three children, so a genuine love of and comfort around kids is essential. The position is ideal for someone who thinks beyond task management and instead builds efficient, repeatable systems that allow a home to operate seamlessly—similar to a well-managed hotel.

On the personal side, you will handle scheduling, event planning (including children’s birthdays and family gatherings), sourcing in-home services, managing administrative tasks such as insurance reimbursements, and overseeing gifting and special requests. The ideal candidate is intelligent, resourceful, and highly autonomous, with a strong ability to anticipate needs, problem-solve independently, and take full ownership of their role. This position requires someone who thrives on creating structure, improving processes, and bringing a high level of professionalism, discretion, and attention to detail to every aspect of the household. Typical hours are 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM most days, with occasional flexibility as needed.
