A young, sophisticated, and fast-paced private family is seeking a top-tier Estate Head of Service & Housekeeping to deliver five-star hospitality, elevated household service, and refined support across their Miami residence and Hamptons summer home. The role is based primarily in Miami, with approximately two summer months in Amagansett, where team housing is provided. The schedule follows a five-day structure with Mondays and Tuesdays off and includes weekend boating support.
