About the Role

Are you a master organiser with a black belt in logistics and an eye for the tiniest detail? Do you thrive in dynamic, high-standard environments and love the thrill of managing beautiful properties across the UK? Then step into your next big adventure.

Our high-profile client is seeking a polished and proactive Private Estate Manager to oversee an exceptional portfolio of private residences across London, the South of England, and key international locations. This is not your average 9-5 – you’ll be hands-on, on the move, and at the heart of an exquisite, fast-paced world.

The Role Includes:

• Being the go-to person for all estate-related matters – nothing gets past you.
• Booking and managing contractors, trades, and suppliers with military precision.
• Regular travel between properties to ensure standards are impeccable
• Overseeing refurbishments, landscaping, and interior updates – think country house to cosmopolitan penthouse.
• Full responsibility for hiring, training, and managing household staff across multiple residences – including housekeepers, chefs, and other domestic team
• Sourcing and vetting new hires with discretion and speed – from recruitment through to onboarding and probation management.
• Working directly with the client – they’re hands-on, meticulous, and expect the same. You’ll need to anticipate needs before they’re even spoken.

What We’re Looking For:

• A seasoned estate/property manager with experience in ultra-high-net-worth environments.
• Proven ability to recruit, manage, and retain private household staff in demanding, multi-property settings.
• Unflappable, with a hawk’s eye for detail – if a picture frame is 2mm off, you’ll spot it.
• Strong knowledge of contract negotiations, and scheduling.
• Happy working independently, but confident working closely with an exacting, highly involved principal.
• Willingness to travel frequently – this is very much a boots-on-the-ground role.
• Impeccable discretion and confidentiality. Always.

Perks of the Role:

• Travel opportunities to stunning homes in beautiful locations
• Work with a client who values excellence – your work will always be appreciated (and noticed!)
• Variety, challenge, and never a dull moment
