Full-Time House Manager

Sage Haus•Sioux Falls, SD

1d•$40 - $45•Hybrid

About The Position

We are a busy entrepreneurial family seeking an experienced House Manager to support multiple closely connected residences. While most of your time will be spent at one primary home, you'll also provide routine support to additional nearby properties, ensuring each residence is well maintained, thoughtfully organized, and always ready for everyday living. This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys variety. Every week is a little different. Business travel, seasonal projects, changing priorities, and special events create an environment where flexibility, organization, and proactive thinking are essential. Although you'll support multiple homes, this is not three separate jobs. The primary residence requires the majority of your attention, while the remaining properties receive lighter, routine support based on current needs. One home is on the same property as the primary, while the other is about 25-minutes away. You'll join an established household support team that includes professional cleaners, landscaping vendors, and a dedicated maintenance specialist. Rather than doing everything yourself, you'll help coordinate these trusted partners while taking ownership of the home's day-to-day operations and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. Above all, we're looking for someone interested in building a long-term relationship with our family—someone who genuinely enjoys creating calm, organized, welcoming homes that allow busy professionals to focus on the things that matter most.
