Job Description - House Manager / Household Operations Lead. - Upper West Side, Manhattan, NY

Job description

A single, high-performing professional in New York City is looking for a highly organized, proactive House Manager / Lifestyle Operations Partner to bring more structure, consistency, and accountability to both household and personal life. This role goes well beyond traditional housekeeping. The person in it works as a lifestyle operations partner who reduces friction, maintains organization, supports health and wellness routines, and helps close the gap between intention and execution.

The client has a demanding schedule, travels frequently, and often works from home. They are highly systems-oriented and value organization, efficiency, and someone who can take ownership and follow through reliably without heavy oversight.

The Shape of This Role

The strongest fit is someone who is proactive by nature: they notice friction points and address them before being asked, and they close loops rather than simply start tasks. The goal is to reduce the client's mental load and decision fatigue, and to keep household and personal systems running smoothly and consistently.

This is a systems-and-organization role as much as a hands-on one, so comfort with digital tools and a structured, dependable working style matter as much as tidiness.
