  • Collaborate with household staff to ensure seamless service for events and daily meals.
  • Manage kitchen organization, inventory, and sourcing of ingredients.
  • Travel occasionally with the family and adapt menus as needed.

  • Flexible, low-key, and collaborative, with a discreet and professional demeanor.
  • Comfortable with occasional travel and shifting between multiple residences.
  • Culinary degree preferred but not required with equivalent experience.
  • Ability to travel on occasion
