Travelling Butler job (M/F) in Monaco

Monaco

Job Description

A UHNW family based in Monaco is recruiting a dedicated and highly adaptable Travelling Butler to provide personalised service to Monsieur, both at home and during frequent trips in France and internationally.

This opportunity is open to candidates at different stages of their careers. An accomplished butler with extensive private household experience would be welcomed, but a promising junior candidate with exceptional organisational abilities, sound judgement, and a genuine commitment to excellence will also be considered. Above all, the family is looking for someone who is proactive, perceptive, responsive, and naturally attentive to the needs of others.

An established household team already manages the residence’s daily operations, allowing the successful candidate to focus primarily on Monsieur’s wardrobe, personal arrangements, travel preparation, and individual service requirements.

French is the family’s primary language and is essential for daily communication. A strong command of English is also required for international travel. The role demands complete discretion, impeccable presentation, and a high degree of flexibility.

Responsibilities

Personal Wardrobe and Garment Care

  • Select, prepare, and coordinate Monsieur’s daily clothing according to his schedule, including business meetings, sporting activities, casual occasions, and evening engagements.
  • Ensure garments are impeccably presented through appropriate ironing, pressing, and specialist care.
  • Maintain shoes and accessories to the highest standards.
  • Keep the dressing room meticulously organised and maintain an accurate inventory of clothing, footwear, and personal accessories.

Travel Planning and Accompaniment

  • Prepare and pack suitcases for every journey, ensuring clothing, accessories, toiletries, and other personal essentials are appropriate for the destination and itinerary.
  • Travel with Monsieur throughout France and internationally, potentially several times each month.
  • Anticipate travel requirements and coordinate personal arrangements to ensure every journey runs smoothly.
  • Ensure wardrobes and personal belongings are properly organised upon arrival and departure.
  • Remain flexible and available to accommodate changes to travel schedules and itineraries.

Personal Service and Wellbeing

  • Deliver refined, discreet service in accordance with the highest standards of private household hospitality.
  • Demonstrate excellent knowledge of formal dining etiquette, table settings, service protocols, and specialist cutlery and serving utensils.
  • Organise Monsieur’s vitamins and medication in accordance with the instructions provided by the family or relevant healthcare professionals.
  • Anticipate personal requirements and provide attentive support without being intrusive.
  • Maintain a professional, composed, and discreet presence at all times.

Household Coordination and Entertaining

  • Monitor and replenish stocks of items required for Monsieur’s personal use.
  • Prepare rooms and service areas for private dinners, receptions, and other family gatherings.
  • Assist with the practical arrangements required for entertaining guests.
  • Coordinate effectively with the existing household staff to ensure seamless service and consistent standards.
  • Contribute to the overall efficiency and organisation of the household whenever required.

Job Requirements

Senior Candidates

Applicants with an established butlering background should demonstrate:

  • Substantial experience in UHNW private households, luxury hotels, or other prestigious hospitality environments.
  • A thorough understanding of formal service, international etiquette, and private household protocols.
  • Professional training in butlering, wine service, sommelier studies, or a related discipline would be an advantage.
  • The confidence and judgement required to provide personalised service at the highest level.

Junior Candidates

Candidates with less experience may be considered if they offer:

  • Exceptional initiative, resourcefulness, and the ability to assess situations intelligently.
  • Outstanding organisational skills and a strong capacity to anticipate requirements.
  • A genuine interest in butlering and a willingness to develop within a demanding, high-standard environment.
  • The maturity, responsiveness, and adaptability necessary to support a UHNW principal.

Requirements for All Applicants

  • Fluent French and strong English communication skills, particularly for international travel.
  • Impeccable grooming and professional presentation, with a navy-blue suit, shirt, and tie required throughout the year.
  • Absolute discretion, confidentiality, and respect for the family’s privacy.
  • Excellent attention to detail, natural elegance, and a service-oriented mindset.
  • Strong organisational abilities, independence, and the capacity to respond quickly to changing priorities.
  • A very good knowledge of wine is a significant advantage.
  • A valid EU passport is mandatory.
  • Eligibility to travel to the United States under the ESTA programme is essential.
  • A Category B driving licence is desirable. Although a chauffeur is already employed, the butler may occasionally be required to drive Monsieur.

Working Conditions

  • Location: Monaco
  • Position: Full-time Travelling Butler (M/F)
  • Contract: Permanent employment contract (CDI) under Monegasque terms
  • Start date: As soon as possible
  • Working schedule: 8:00 am–1:00 pm and 5:00 pm–10:00 pm, six days per week, with flexibility according to the family’s requirements.
  • Time off: The stated schedule represents the maximum contractual working volume. When operational requirements permit, additional rest days, potentially allowing two days off per week, may be granted.
  • Travel: Frequent trips within France and internationally; full mobility and availability are essential.
  • Uniform: Navy-blue suit, shirt, and tie.

The successful candidate will join a well-established private household and work in close collaboration with the existing team, providing highly personalised service to Monsieur in Monaco and throughout his travels.

Salary

An attractive salary package will be offered, commensurate with the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and overall suitability for the position.
