• Utilize strong handyman skills to address general home maintenance without outsourcing unless necessary.
• Ensure quick and efficient resolution of issues with a proactive approach.

Vendor Coordination:

• Schedule, supervise, and evaluate the work of all outside contractors and service providers.
• Ensure all work is performed to the highest standard and in a timely manner.

Financial & Administrative Tasks:

• Handle petty cash, track small household expenses, and communicate updates as needed.

• Minimum 5–10 years’ experience managing UHNW estates or working with high-profile clients.
• Deep knowledge of home systems, with strong hands-on capabilities and a solutions-oriented mindset.
• Comfortable working without oversight in a minimally staffed household.
