    Description

    We are seeking an experienced, polished, and highly intuitive Personal & Lifestyle Assistant to become a trusted extension of an Ultra High Net Worth Principal. This is a true principal support role—not an estate or house management position.

    The successful candidate will provide seamless lifestyle support across the principal's residences and while traveling, ensuring every aspect of their day-to-day life is thoughtfully organized and effortlessly executed. 

    This role is centered around anticipating needs, delivering exceptional service, and creating an effortless lifestyle experience with the highest level of discretion and professionalism.

    Working closely alongside the Executive Assistant team and household staff, this individual will focus on supporting the principal—not managing the household. The ideal candidate thrives in dynamic environments, is exceptionally adaptable, and enjoys providing concierge-level service wherever the principal may be.

    Travel is an essential component of this position. The successful candidate should expect to travel approximately 12–16 weeks per year, sometimes for extended periods, providing the same level of thoughtful support whether at a private residence, aboard private transportation, or abroad.

    • Help With final walkthroughs of properties prior to departure to ensure all spaces are secure and no personal belongings are left behind

    • Coordinate appointments, events, reservations, and concierge requests as needed
    • Handle high-end shopping and sourcing for apparel, shoes, gifts, home items, liquor, yacht supplies, and specialty requests

    • Maintain strong relationships with preferred restaurants, vendors, and luxury service providers globally
    • Coordinate grooming, tailoring, and alteration appointments
    • Maintain working knowledge of luxury apparel, designer brands, fabrics, garment care, and wardrobe maintenance to support high-end shopping, tailoring, packing, and presentation needs
    • Ensure all confirmed personal bookings and logistics are communicated to the Executive Assistant team for calendar integration and scheduling continuity
    • Anticipate day-to-day needs before they are expressed, ensuring personal items, consumables, and preferences are consistently prepared and maintained
    • Provide thoughtful personal assistance and lifestyle support to the principal, partner, and family members as needed while traveling or in residence

    • Coordinate with the Executive Assistant team and household staff to maintain accurate inventory systems and overall property readiness
    • Assist in maintaining formal inventory systems for personal items, travel essentials, and household assets
    • Manage wine inventory and in-home bar organization according to the principal’s preferences
    • Coordinate wine selection and cellar management alongside the Executive Assistant team

    Qualifications
    • Prior experience directly supporting an Ultra High Net Worth individual or family is required.
    • Experience traveling with and supporting a principal in a highly personalized service capacity is strongly preferred.
    • Exceptional organizational skills with meticulous attention to detail.
    • Ability to anticipate needs and think several steps ahead.
    • Comfortable working in fast-paced, ever-changing environments.

    Ideal Background
    We recognize exceptional candidates come from a variety of luxury service environments. We are particularly interested in professionals with backgrounds such as:

    • Butler
    • Interior Yacht Steward or Stewardess
    • Luxury Hospitality or VIP Guest Services
    • Wardrobe Manager or Valet

    The Ideal Candidate
    You are naturally service-oriented and genuinely enjoy making someone else's life run effortlessly. You notice the details others miss, anticipate needs before they're expressed, and take pride in delivering exceptional support with warmth, discretion, and professionalism.

    You thrive in changing environments, enjoy traveling, and are energized by variety rather than routine. You are equally comfortable coordinating a last-minute international trip, preparing a wardrobe for travel, sourcing a hard-to-find item, or quietly ensuring every detail has been considered before the principal even asks.

    Above all, you understand that true luxury service is proactive, personalized, and seamless—and you take pride in being the person who makes that happen.
