JOB DESCRIPTION

Executive Household Manager

We're looking for a sharp, dependable, and highly organized House Manager to support a principal whose life blends international responsibilities, strategic decision-making, and a strong focus on family. This role is a key leadership position within a fast-paced, multifaceted household. Well-suited for someone who thrives in high-demand environments, approaches their work with both professionalism and warmth, and is excited by the opportunity to grow and evolve the role over time.

The ideal candidate will bring a balance of structure and flexibility, managing day-to-day operations with precision while adapting seamlessly to shifting priorities. This is not just a support role. It is a central position that helps create stability, efficiency, and peace of mind in a complex and constantly moving environment.

This position is at the heart of the principal’s daily life, serving as the central link between household operations, business activities, travel planning, and a global network of contacts. The House Manager will be primarily based at the principal’s residence in Fairfax, VA, with occasional work at an office in Washington, DC. Success in this role requires a service-first attitude, sharp problem-solving skills, and the flexibility to take on a wide range of responsibilities. Whether that means coordinating logistics or stepping in to handle personal, family, or household tasks as needed.

The right candidate brings a composed, thoughtful presence and a natural ability to bring structure to busy or fast-changing environments. They should be comfortable working closely with family, managing staff and vendors, and maintaining strong professional relationships.

The Employer

The principal is a globally involved advisor and board member with a demanding travel schedule, often spending extended periods abroad.
