The answer

Consider the role when coordination creates a recurring bottleneck that can be clearly defined and funded. Identify decisions, authority, workload, reporting, and required skills. Hiring without a process can move confusion to another person rather than resolve it.

Compare the cost with the work relieved and the oversight still needed. Ensure the arrangement meets applicable employment or contractor requirements.

This answer is general education. Apply it to the property's actual location, agreements, and circumstances. Where a decision requires professional advice, use a qualified adviser.
