A European principal is seeking an experienced and polished Butler to join the household team of a private seven-bedroom villa in St. Barthélemy. The property is used as an exclusive winter retreat, hosting the principal and a select circle of VIP guests for several months each year.

This role is ideal for a service-driven professional who is comfortable delivering five-star standards in a private setting, while adapting to a calm and refined island lifestyle. The household is fully staffed, including a property manager, two housekeepers, and a full-time private chef, allowing the Butler to focus on guest experience and service excellence.

This is a long-term position offering stability, flexibility, and a high-quality working environment.

Responsibilities

  • Deliver a consistently high level of personalized service to the principal and guests.
  • Welcome guests on arrival and ensure their preferences, habits, and expectations are met throughout their stay.
  • Oversee daily dining service, including table presentation, meal service, and beverage service, in close coordination with the private chef.
  • Maintain impeccable standards in guest-facing areas, working alongside the housekeeping team.
  • Support the smooth organization of the villa and assist with light operational or property-related tasks when required.
  • Act as a central point of coordination with the property manager and personal assistant to ensure seamless daily operations.
  • Contribute positively to the household team, fostering a respectful and collaborative working atmosphere.

Job Requirements

  • Demonstrated experience as a Butler in a private household, luxury villa, five-star hotel, or onboard luxury yachts.
  • Naturally discreet, well-presented, and highly attentive to detail.
  • Comfortable delivering both formal and relaxed service to UHNW individuals and guests.
  • Flexible and proactive, with the ability to adapt to changing schedules and last-minute requests.
  • Strong communication skills and a team-oriented mindset.
  • Fluent English required; French or Italian considered an asset.
  • Previous experience in luxury hospitality or yachting is highly valued.

Working Conditions

  • Work schedule: Highly flexible.

    • During the principal’s presence (approximately 1–3 months per year): intensive workload with variable hours.

    • Outside of these periods: lighter workload with compensatory time off.

  • Accommodation: Shared staff apartment with private bedroom and private shower.
  • Meals: Provided when the principal is in residence.
  • Vehicle: Work car available for professional use.
  • Contract: Permanent, full-time (CDI).
  • Probation period: 6 months.
  • Start date: As soon as possible, ideally December 2025.
