Staff and Home Management
Overseeing daily operations and domestic staff
Responsibilities include taking responsibility for the domestic staff team and planning staff schedules. The manager ensures quality control of cleaning and service, as well as managing the daily operations of the house. The main goal is to ensure everything functions smoothly both in the presence and absence of the family.
Budget and Contractor Coordination
Finances, procurement, and premium estate management

Time flexibility is required during periods when the family arrives or when events are held. In premium-class residences, tasks may include elements of estate management and close interaction with the family office.
Work format
Running a home like a small company
A house manager makes sure the residence runs smoothly: hiring and coordinating staff, setting schedules, managing the budget and reporting, overseeing contractors, repairs and building systems, and preparing the house for the family and guests.
