Job Description

Role Overview

We are looking for a highly organized, proactive, and dependable

House Manager

to oversee daily operations across our

three family homes

and our

shared family farmhouse

. This role is the central point of coordination for a 20-member joint family, ensuring smooth functioning, timely problem-solving, and efficient communication between all households, vendors, and staff.

The ideal candidate is someone who treats every home like a well-run micro-hotel: attentive, structured, and always two steps ahead. Someone who doesn't get flustered when the water pump stops working, a maid takes unplanned leave, or ten people call at once.

Key Responsibilities1. Household Operations Management

Oversee the daily functioning of all three residences (cleanliness, utilities, staff attendance, supplies). Ensure all appliances and essential systems (ACs, water pumps, geysers, RO filters, CCTV, Wi-Fi, lifts) are in working condition. Maintain checklists for housekeeping, cleanliness standards, pantry stock, and daily upkeep.

2. Maintenance & Repair Coordination

First responder for issues related to

electricity, plumbing, carpentry, pest control, appliances, water supply

, etc. Maintain a roster of reliable technicians and service providers. Schedule and oversee preventive maintenance for each home and the farmhouse. Ensure timely AMC renewals (appliances, water systems, generators, CCTV, elevators).

3. Staff Management

Coordinate with all house helps, drivers, cooks, cleaning staff across the three homes. Monitor attendance, discipline, and performance. Manage replacements when staff take leave. Train domestic staff when required (cleaning standards, grooming, communication).

4. Communication & Coordination

Act as the central point of communication between all family members and homes. Share important updates (maintenance works, staff availability, deliveries, schedules). Handle inter-house coordination for shared tasks, festivals, events, and guest visits.

5. Vendor & Service Provider Management

Source, negotiate, and coordinate with electricians, plumbers, AC technicians, gardeners, pest control, carpenters, and other vendors. Manage service timelines and quality of work. Maintain and update a directory of all vendors with contact numbers and service history.

6. Farmhouse Management

Oversee the complete upkeep of the family farmhouse -- cleaning, gardening, security, maintenance of equipment, pool (if any), water systems, power backup, etc. Coordinate pre-visit preparation and post-visit reset whenever the family uses the property. Handle all repair work and periodic checks at the farmhouse (water leakage, pest control, boundary security, generator health, etc.).

7. Inventory & Supplies

Track and manage household supplies across homes -- groceries, cleaning supplies, RO filters, gas cylinders, laundry consumables, etc. Implement smart systems for stock levels to avoid last-minute shortages. Manage purchases or coordinate with delivery partners.

8. Budgeting & Expense Tracking

Maintain monthly expense sheets for household operations and farmhouse upkeep. Track petty cash, maintenance bills, and vendor payments. Prepare cost estimates for repair works or upgrades.

9. Event & Guest Management

Support preparation and coordination for family functions, festivals, and celebrations. Oversee logistics for guest arrivals -- rooms, cleanliness, transport arrangements, refreshments.

10. Safety & Compliance

Ensure fire safety equipment, CCTV, and entry protocols across homes are functioning. Keep a log of security issues, if any. Coordinate with guards and security staff (if applicable).

Skills & Qualities Required

Highly organized with excellent follow-through. Strong communication and people-management skills. Calm under pressure; solution-oriented. Ability to handle confidential and sensitive family matters with maturity. Basic understanding of electrical, plumbing, and home-related systems (not as a technician, but enough to diagnose and coordinate). Tech-savvy: WhatsApp groups, reminders, Excel/Google Sheets, photos/videos for updates. Fluent in Hindi and Gujarati; basic English preferred.

Experience

3-7 years of experience in residential management, hotel operations, facility management, or handling HNI households. Experience managing domestic staff, vendors, or household logistics is a big plus.

Working Hours & Expectations

Full-time with flexibility based on family requirements. Should be available on-call for urgent issues. Occasional travel to the farmhouse as required.
