We have been retained by a prominent private family to identify a dedicated and "hands-on" Estate Operations Manager. This is a pivotal role designed for a professional who views estate management as a craft—balancing high-level project oversight with the daily nuances that make a luxury residence feel like home.
Our client values discretion, proactive problem-solving, and a "no task too small" mentality. You won't just be managing a property; you will be the lead steward of a lifestyle.
The Role at a Glance
The successful candidate will serve as the primary point of contact for a significant private estate and additional properties. You will be expected to pivot seamlessly between administrative strategy and physical execution.
- Project Leadership: Source, vet, and manage specialized vendors for everything from complex residential construction to meticulous interior maintenance.
- Estate Logistics: Oversee a premium vehicle fleet, manage household expenses/budgets, and utilize digital project management tools to ensure transparency and efficiency.
- Lifestyle Support: Handle complex scheduling, travel coordination, and event planning.
- Operational Excellence: Maintain the "gold standard" of the home. This includes overseeing pet logistics, interior aesthetics (plant care/logistics), and assisting with light culinary needs (meal prep/service) and light housekeeping to ensure a pristine environment.
Why This Role?
Our client is committed to a professional, supportive, and long-term working relationship. They offer a "Total Rewards" package that is rare in the private service sector:
- Comprehensive Health: 100% employer-paid Medical, Dental, and Vision premiums.
- Work-Life Balance: Generous accrued vacation, sick leave, and paid holidays.
- Professional Environment: A stable, respectful atmosphere within a well-managed family office structure.
The Ideal Candidate
We are looking for a "tech-forward" professional who is as comfortable with a spreadsheet as they are overseeing a construction site or preparing a light meal.
- The Mindset: Resourceful, detail-obsessed, and capable of exercising absolute discretion.
- The Experience: A proven track record in private service or high-end hospitality, with a comfort level working around children and multi-generational family members.
- The Essentials: Legal authorization to work in the U.S., a valid Driver’s License, a reliable vehicle, and the ability to pass a rigorous background check.
Compensation & Benefits
- Insurance: 100% Employer-paid Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits.
- Time Off: Accrued vacation, sick leave, and paid holidays.
- Environment: A professional, supportive, and well-managed working atmosphere.
