Start Date: ASAP, flexible for the right fit

A dynamic, professional family in Boston’s Back Bay is seeking a professional, tech-savvy House Manager to support the smooth operation of their home and busy lifestyle. This is a fantastic opportunity for an organized, proactive candidate who thrives in fast-paced environments and enjoys bringing calm and clarity to a busy household.
About the Family
This dual-career household includes four young children under the age of eight. While there is no childcare involved in this role, the House Manager will play a vital part in ensuring the children’s spaces, schedules, and belongings are well organized and maintained. Both parents work full-time outside of the home—one as a physician and the other as a business owner—so the right candidate will be a self-starter who takes initiative with minimal supervision. The home is welcoming, respectful, and values clear communication, professionalism, and kindness.
Schedule & Responsibilities
The position is Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with flexibility for the right person. Travel is not required, though occasional support for 1–2 family trips per year may be appreciated. There are no pets, no dietary restrictions, and no need for laundry or cooking. Parking is not available on-site, and no vehicle is required for the role.
Key responsibilities include:
Managing the family’s shared Google calendar
Coordinating appointments, deliveries, and services
General administrative and tech support (e.g., setting up Ring doorbells, helping with devices)
Organizing children’s rooms and belongings, including backpacks and sports bags
Handling returns and online orders
Inventory management and household supply restocking
Gift shopping and birthday prep
Coordinating with handymen or vendors for light home maintenance (e.g., bike assembly)
Installing car seats and assisting with occasional errands as needed
General household organization projects
The Ideal Candidate
You are an upbeat, independent professional who thrives on systems, organization, and creating a sense of ease for others. You’re polished, discreet, and enjoy working in a respectful, low-drama environment. You're comfortable working independently, collaborating with other staff, and balancing multiple moving parts. A background in household management, executive assistance, or hospitality would be highly valued.
You bring a strong attention to detail, are confident with household technology, and genuinely enjoy being of service. A college degree is required; the family is particularly interested in candidates who are articulate, engaging, and aligned with the values of a high-functioning, family-centered home.
