  • Assist with household organization projects, seasonal changes, holiday décor, and floral arrangements.
  • Provide seamless service for daily needs, meal setup, guest reception, luggage, errands, and both formal and informal entertaining.
  • Support private events and social functions, from setup through execution and breakdown.
  • Conduct regular walkthroughs to ensure property security and functionality; open and close the residence as scheduled.
  • Manage and liaise with contractors, vendors, and maintenance personnel, ensuring discretion and quality control.
  • Maintain vehicles, including fueling, cleaning, and retrieval from garage.
  • Provide occasional hands-on support with cooking, simple meal prep, chauffeuring, wardrobe care, packing/unpacking, and other ad-hoc tasks.

Qualifications

  • Minimum 5 years’ experience in a UHNW household, luxury hospitality, or similar environment.
  • Strong knowledge of high-level household service and etiquette.
  • Tech-savvy with smart home, AV, and security systems.

  • Professional, calm, and polished demeanor.
  • Flexible and adaptable, with a collaborative, team-oriented mindset.
  • Prior experience in luxury hospitality, private estates, or yachting strongly preferred.

Schedule: Full-time with flexibility for evenings, weekends, and holidays as needed. (Note: when principals are in town, availability on Saturdays is required.)
