The successful candidate will take responsibility for maintaining each property to an exceptional standard while ensuring that every residence is fully prepared and operational prior to the Principal’s arrival.

Each home measures approximately 200–300 m² and requires careful coordination, attention to detail, and a proactive approach to household management. This role is ideal for a professional who is comfortable working independently, travelling between residences, and maintaining high standards of organisation and discretion.

The position combines household management, hands-on housekeeping, wardrobe care, and light service, making it suitable for a candidate with strong operational skills and a flexible mindset.

  • Prepare each residence before the Principal’s arrival, ensuring the property is clean, organised, and fully functional.
  • Monitor household equipment and systems to ensure proper operation.

  • Maintain wardrobes and ensure personal belongings are organised properly.

Household Supplies & Inventory

  • Monitor household supplies including groceries, cleaning products, and other essential items.
  • Ensure each residence remains stocked according to the Principal’s preferences.

Service & Daily Assistance

  • Provide discreet support during the Principal’s stays.
  • Assist with light meal preparation if required.
  • Ensure a comfortable and seamless experience for the Principal in each residence.

Working Schedule

Due to the international nature of the role, flexibility is essential. Working hours may vary depending on the Principal’s travel schedule and presence at the residences.

A reference schedule may be established, though adjustments may occasionally be required. This may include starting later in the day, finishing later, or exchanging days off depending on operational needs.

The work schedule can be organised on a bi-weekly or monthly basis depending on the Principal’s agenda.

The successful candidate will receive one month of paid annual leave.

Job Requirements

  • Previous experience as a Household Manager, Butler, or Senior Housekeeper in a private residence or UHNW household.
  • Strong organisational skills with excellent attention to detail.
  • Ability to work independently and manage multiple properties.
  • High level of discretion, professionalism, and reliability.
  • Flexible and comfortable with international travel and schedule changes.

Preferred

  • Brazilian Portuguese-speaking candidate due to cultural preferences within the household.

Personal Qualities

  • Calm, dependable, and service-oriented personality.
  • Proactive and hands-on approach to work.
  • Strong sense of responsibility and ownership.
  • Excellent presentation and professional standards.
