Funny How

Household Coordinator

Location: Frisco, Texas (on site)
Hours: Approximately 40 hours per week
Compensation: Based on experience
Setting: Private family residence

Position Summary

We are hiring a Household Coordinator to run the operational systems of a private family residence in Frisco, Texas. This is an execution and systems role, not an errand role. The person in this seat owns vendor management, household calendars, procurement, expense tracking, and the documented processes that keep the home running without the family managing details directly.

The right candidate is precise, methodical, and takes ownership of accuracy. You work from checklists and standards rather than memory. You would rather build a repeatable system once than solve the same problem five times. You are dependable, consistent, and low drama, and you measure your work by whether nothing was missed.

This is a Christian household where faith shapes how the home operates and how decisions are made. Candidates should be comfortable in a faith centered environment and share those values.

Scope of Responsibility

Home systems and vendor management

• Source, schedule, and supervise all household vendors (lawn, pool, cleaning, pest, HVAC, repairs, and specialty trades)
• Verify work quality against agreed scope before approving payment
• Maintain a preventive maintenance calendar with seasonal service dates and warranty records
• Maintain household readiness standards and a written punch list for open items
• Maintain a supplies inventory with reorder thresholds so no essential item runs out

Calendar and family logistics

• Own all household calendars: medical, school, activities, events, travel, and personal appointments
• Maintain a master date tracker for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and recurring obligations, including gift planning and lead times
• Build travel itineraries and confirm all bookings, documents, and logistics in advance
• Send reminders and confirmations on a set schedule so nothing depends on last minute recall

Procurement and errands

• Own the grocery system, including recurring lists, Instacart orders, and pantry par levels
• Handle household purchasing, returns, exchanges, and subscription management
• Run local errands as needed, batched and routed efficiently

Administrative and personal support

• Schedule appointments and manage confirmations, reschedules, and follow up
• Screen and route household communication, mail, and deliveries
• Maintain organized digital and physical files for warranties, contracts, receipts, and household records

Expense tracking and stewardship

• Track household spending against category budgets
• Reconcile receipts and invoices, verify charges, and flag discrepancies or overcharges
• Compare pricing and negotiate vendor rates where appropriate
• Operate within spending limits agreed in advance and route anything above those limits for approval

Performance Standards

• Accuracy. Appointments, orders, and vendor bookings are correct and confirmed. Errors are caught before they reach the family.
• Zero surprises. No missed appointments, no lapsed services, no depleted essentials, no unexplained charges.
• Documented systems. Vendor directory, household SOPs, grocery templates, maintenance calendar, and date and gift tracker are built, current, and usable by someone else if needed.
• Reliable reporting. Weekly report submitted on schedule with completed items, open items, and items awaiting approval.
• Discretion. Household information, schedules, and finances are handled confidentially without exception.

Days 1 to 30: Learn the household's standards, preferences, and current vendors. Document what exists today. Identify gaps and immediate risks.

Reporting Structure and Authority

• Brief weekly check in with the household principals
