The main responsibility of a house manager is to ensure that the household of their principal runs effortlessly and making sure that every staff member knows what their duties and responsibilities are in the property.
The same as an office manager, a house manager is responsible of managing a number of employees, hiring and training new staff members, scheduling work timetables, and reporting to their boss. However a house manager is also responsible for the security of the property, for any finances related to the property and ensuring the property is fully stocked with house and any supplies needed by the principals and the staff members.
A main duty a house manager has is that they are in charge of maintaining the property/properties by planning renovation and construction plans of their principals property or a number of properties. He/she will liaise with different contractors and services to compare the offers and prices with each other and ensure they are in line with the principals requests.
It is very important for a house manager to be responsible and reliable, have strong communication skills, and be flexible to adapt to different situations.
