Full-Time House Manager - Calabasas, CA
Local Candidates Only
A thoughtful, well-established household seeks a Full-Time House Manager to oversee two residences in Calabasas for a high-profile principal. This role is ideal for a grounded, capable professional who finds satisfaction in creating calm, order, and continuity behind the scenes. This is a return client who has been praised for their kindness and generosity by former staff.
You will work as part of a collaborative household ecosystem alongside two personal assistants, a part-time housekeeper, and a nanny. The right person brings both warmth and authority: someone who is easygoing and personable, yet deeply organized, proactive, and confident making decisions independently.
This is not a high-drama or around-the-clock role. It is a steady, leadership-oriented position best suited for someone who genuinely enjoys the craft of house management and takes pride in well-run systems, trusted vendor relationships, seamless day-to-day operations (and who might get a kick out of working with a bit of an eccentric, yet very kind hearted principal).
The Role at a Glance
This House Manager will serve as a central point of coordination for the homes - liaising between principal, staff, and vendors - while implementing and maintaining organizational systems that allow everything to run smoothly.
Key responsibilities include:
Overseeing household operations across two residences
Communicating clearly and professionally with principals and staff
Managing vendors and maintaining trusted service relationships
Implementing systems for organization, maintenance, and efficiency
Conducting bi-weekly walkthroughs of both properties
Anticipating needs and addressing issues before they escalate
The homes are modest in size, the larger being about 3,500sqft. The role allows for partial remote work, making it well-suited for someone who values flexibility paired with accountability. Daily onsite visits will be needed, this is about 75% onsite, 25% remote option should you choose.
Schedule & Lifestyle
Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM, Hybrid flexibility
This is not a 24/7 position, your after hours will be yours unless there is a true emergency
Long-term stability and consistency are valued
The household includes two medium size dogs with a walker already in place; candidates should be comfortable stepping in with light, occasional pet support when needed.
Who Thrives in This Role
The ideal candidate:
Has 5+ years of experience as a true House Manager
Enjoys building and maintaining systems
Is calm under pressure and solutions-oriented
Communicates clearly and professionally
Is a natural organizer with strong follow-through
Works well independently while collaborating with a team
Takes pride in creating order, efficiency, and ease within a home
This role is best suited for someone who chooses house management as a career, not a stepping stone.
