Job description

Richfox Capital is an alternative investment-oriented asset manager with 13 years of history, located in Switzerland, currently growing quickly and expanding its activities in Switzerland (FINMA's highest asset management licence granted in 2023, HQ in Zurich). We manage a group of investment funds and family offices with portfolios across asset classes and have been enjoying high-speed growth in all relevant metrics on a y/y basis for years. Our three guiding principles have been absolute loyalty to good values and principles, intellectual curiosity with a passion for discovery, and constant striving for excellence and perfection in everything we do for our clients.

This is a great opportunity for highly competent outperformers who feel restricted in tight brackets of corporate functions, and who would enjoy a very dynamic, fast-growing environment where their own ideas and initiatives are appreciated and acted upon. We encourage all our people to think and execute out of the box, push themselves, and utilise the full range of their abilities in the best interest of our clients, truly unleashing their potential within the bounds of possible. We appreciate independent, proactive, ambitious minds and support their growth with our resources. If you come up with a good idea, we'll make it happen. We hire only exceptional people, and we reward them accordingly.

This particular role is tailored for an accomplished Lifestyle Manager who is highly experienced in overseeing the personal administrative affairs and physical luxury asset portfolios for a dedicated family office client.

If you yearn to deliver the absolute best value and seamless operational support for your clients, ensuring the flawless management of high-end assets, then this new challenge just might be perfect for you.

In general, in this function, you'd be primarily responsible for:

• Asset & Estate Management: Oversee the end-to-end operations, maintenance, and staffing of a portfolio of luxury physical assets, specifically taking ownership of a private yacht, a private jet, and a premium real estate portfolio in Southern France.
• Personal Administration: Manage the complex personal and administrative affairs of the family office principal, acting as his primary, trusted point of contact for day-to-day lifestyle operations.
• Vendor & Crew Management: Build and manage a robust network of premium service providers, household staff, aviation/marine crew, and contractors, ensuring the highest standards of service, compliance, and cost-efficiency.
• Travel & Lifestyle Logistics: Proactively organize and execute complex global travel itineraries, private events, and highly personalized requests, ensuring a seamless experience.
• Operational & Budget Management: Analyze operational needs and asset running costs to identify strategic opportunities for efficiency, overseeing budgets for the properties and transport assets without compromising on quality.
• Diligent Record-Keeping: Make sure to utilise our internal operations staff to secure adequate and correct records for all physical assets, including property taxes, aviation/marine regulatory compliance, and household payrolls.

The ideal candidate is a socially and culturally sophisticated person, smart and accomplished in luxury asset administration, with a deep understanding of the unique lifestyle needs and realities of the UHNW clientele and an extensive network of premium service providers. Proven experience of previous engagements managing aviation, marine, and high-end real estate assets for family office clients is a must. A demonstrable track record of flawless execution, impeccable organization, and absolute discretion will be required for a successful candidate.

YOUR QUALIFICATIONS

• Typically, min. 5 years (ideally 10+ years) of relevant industry experience in UHNW lifestyle, estate, or family office management
• Excellent administrative, social, and problem-solving skills
• Excellent and broad insights across domains, in particular in social, logistical, luxury, and cultural affairs
• Master’s degree in Business Administration, Hospitality, Estate Management, or other related fields. Specialized knowledge in aviation, maritime, or property management would be advantageous
• Proactive, innovative, and flexible work demeanor with excellent time management and organizational skills
• Proven ability to identify and resolve issues through lateral and strategic thinking
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English; fluent French is a significant advantage due to the Southern France real estate portfolio, and fluent German is considered a strong plus also
• Located preferably in Zurich, but it is not a necessity
• Willingness and ability to travel frequently between Switzerland, Southern France, and other asset locations as required

We offer a highly stimulating environment comprised of principled and highly competent individuals, a carefully curated open-minded, and meritocratic culture that welcomes diversity of opinions and is based on radical transparency where the flow of information is not restricted by egos, hierarchy or formalities, where we trust our people and their ideas and initiatives and enable them to make miracles happen. Exceptional performers are rewarded exceptionally.
