Executive Housekeeper

Executive Housekeeper – Full-Time

Our client, a large, active family with a growing portfolio of homes, is seeking an experienced, full-time Executive Housekeeper to lead their housekeeping team with grace, warmth, and genuine collaboration. This is a true leadership role, overseeing a team of 4 on-site Housekeepers and 1 additional Housekeeper at another property, with new properties set to come online in the coming years. The ideal candidate splits their time evenly between working directly alongside the team and handling administrative responsibilities such as inspections, ordering, inventory, scheduling, and ensuring timesheet accuracy.

This is an especially exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys building strong systems from the ground up. The family would love for this person to spend their first six months working closely alongside the existing team, building rapport, learning their strengths, and understanding their current processes, in order to help develop thoughtful, well-documented SOPs for both the current home and the new property. This household deeply values a kind, collaborative, and enjoyable team culture, so a graceful leadership style and genuine care for the team are just as important as technical housekeeping expertise. The family also maintains an eco-conscious home, so a strong working knowledge of natural, non-toxic products is essential.

Responsibilities

• Lead, develop, and thoughtfully manage a small team.
• Split time between hands-on housekeeping work alongside the team and administrative duties, including inspections, ordering, inventory management, scheduling, and ensuring accurate timesheets

• Coordinate with outside contractors at additional properties as needed
• Oversee seasonal opening and closing of properties, including conducting inventory, discarding expired items, developing seasonal SOPs, stripping/preparing linens, and coordinating deep cleaning before reopening

• Guide the housekeeping team with daily laundry as everything is laundered internally.
• Use and maintain knowledge of natural and non-toxic products throughout the home
• Travel with the family approximately 6 weeks per year to their other properties, helping open the home in advance and manage housekeeping needs during their stay
• Lead by example with kindness, professionalism, and a genuinely collaborative approach to managing the team

Qualifications

• A minimum of 5+ years of experience managing a team of 4+ Housekeepers, ideally within a private home setting – this is hugely important!
