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

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 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.

Daily tidying and household resets that keep the apartment calm, organized, and functional

Laundry and clothing care

Surface resets and ongoing organization

Mail management, returns, errands, and household logistics

Proactive restocking of household items and maintaining organization systems

A central goal of this role is reducing mental load and helping the client stay on top of recurring responsibilities.

Build and maintain accountability systems and routines

Maintain and operate inventories for household supplies, toiletries, clothing, and travel items

Support restocking systems and clothing organization

Help build and maintain checklists and databases for packing, toiletries, groceries, medication, and household preferences

Packing preparation, travel checklists, and outfit coordination

Toiletry preparation and travel-item inventory tracking

Travel resets at home after the client returns

Thinking ahead proactively around travel logistics

This role requires comfort with technology and digital organization tools.

Comfort with tools such as ClickUp, Airtable, shared calendars, and digital task management

Comfort with inventory systems, organizational databases, and AI-assisted workflows

Genuine interest in systems, automation, and operational efficiency

Strong candidates will likely bring a blend of experience across house management, executive-assistant or executive-function support, lifestyle management, professional organizing, and operations or project coordination, ideally with meal-prep capability and real comfort with organizational technology.

Approximately 10 to 15 hours per week, Monday to Friday preferred, with a flexible structure

Occasional weekend flexibility as needed

The client values consistency and reliability over rigid scheduling

Highly organized, proactive, and detail-oriented

Follows through and closes loops reliably
