Riveter Consulting Group is seeking an experienced and grounded Household Manager to support the smooth operation of a private residence and coordinate related care.

Schedule

Full-Time 9 am to 5 pm (flexibility needed occasionally)

Household Overview:

  • Approx. 4,800 sq. ft. private home
  • Two principals
  • One adult son (independent, no longer living at home)
  • One 60-lb bulldog
  • Additional responsibility includes oversight and coordination related to a family member with advanced Parkinson’s who lives in assisted care and is supported by a 24/7 caregiver team

About the Household

Our lives are full, but we intentionally maintain a calm, organized, and grounded home environment. This is not a high-chaos household with constant activity, non-stop vendors, or luxury lifestyle demands. We value steadiness, discretion, and thoughtful execution. This role is with a mindful and fair employer. Expectations are clear and professional, and mutual respect is essential.

The Role

This is a full-time Household Manager position. The role does not require a concierge or 24/7 on-call mindset, but flexibility is still important. Life occasionally presents unexpected situations, and when real issues or emergencies arise, sound judgment and reliable support are required. Support is expected when it genuinely matters—not for trivial or avoidable situations.

Responsibilities include:

  • Managing household operations, systems, and vendor oversight
  • Coordinating communication and escalation related to caregiving support when needed
  • Serving as the primary point person during travel
  • Carrying a dedicated household work phone for emergency situations and various household management coordination during business hours.
  • Supporting dog care when needed, including stepping in when the regular dog walker or sitter is unavailable or during extended travel
  • A genuine love of animals and comfort with hands-on dog care is essential

Candidate Profile & Qualifications:

  • Minimum 7 years of direct Household Manager experience; 10+ years preferred (Household management experience only not nanny or childcare-only roles)
  • Confident, emotionally mature, ethical, and low-ego
  • Highly detail-oriented, organized, and proactive
  • Self-starter, quick learner, and tech-savvy
  • Able to manage multiple priorities independently
  • Enjoys animals and is comfortable stepping into dog-care support when needed
  • Seeking a long-term, full-time role with one household
  • This position requires full professional focus and is not compatible with maintaining employment, standing commitments, or regular responsibilities with another household, including weekends
  • Competing household commitments have proven to create conflicts during travel, emergencies, or unexpected needs and impact performance and reliability
  • Lives within a reasonable commuting distance, or is open to relocating closer if needed

Additional Requirements:

  • Résumé must clearly reflect experience aligned with this level of responsibility
  • References will be verified
  • Comprehensive background check required

Timing:

Support is needed sooner rather than later, as the principal is currently recovering from health challenges and is seeking stability, relief, and dependable support.

Schedule & Trial Period:

  • Full-time role with reasonable hours and occasional flexibility (9 am to 5 pm)
  • Weekend support is rare, but may be needed for special circumstances or events

90-Day Introductory Period:

  • 45-day trial period, with the option to extend to 60 days if we’re both confident it’s the right fit. Otherwise, the standard 90-day trial applies.
  • The first 90 days serve as a trial period for onboarding and mutual fit.
  • No vacation or elective time off is permitted during this time to ensure continuity of training and integration.
  • Sick leave may be used if genuinely necessary.

Compensation & Benefits

Salary Range: $90,000 – $120,000 annually. Final compensation will be determined based on experience, skillset, and overall alignment with the role.

Health Insurance:

  • Employer-paid health insurance only
  • No dental or vision coverage
  • No 401(k) plan

Wellness and Health Stipend:

  • $200 per month
  • Begins after 6 months of employment
  • Determined at bi-annual review

Performance Bonus:

  • For illness or medical needs
  • Not pre-scheduled (except medical appointments)

Vacation:

  • Year 1: 8 days annually
  • Year 2 and beyond: 10 days annually

While local candidates are preferred, the following would be considered for the right fit:

  • Guest house available Monday through Friday, if needed
  • Corporate housing contribution for the right candidate
  • Assistance with reasonable moving expenses
