Supporting a VIP Family, this is a senior, highly visible role within a fully staffed household, requiring a polished, service-driven professional with a calm, confident presence and exceptional attention to detail. The successful candidate will lead from the front, ensuring seamless daily operations, flawless presentation, and a consistently exceptional experience for the Principals and their guests.

You will oversee a household team, setting service standards, managing rotas, training staff, and ensuring that every aspect of the residence runs smoothly and intuitively.
