Overview
A UHNW Principal is seeking a polished, energetic Travelling Housekeeper and Service Steward to join a small, established household team. This is a rare opportunity to become part of a trusted “core team” supporting the Principal across Monaco, within Europe and the USA, travelling regularly and working to exceptional standards.
This role is best suited to a yacht interior or high-end hospitality professional who enjoys fast-paced service, takes pride in immaculate housekeeping, and is comfortable being hands-on. You will provide confident, informal service (drinks, light food, guest support) alongside detailed cleaning, laundry, wardrobe care and organisation. Service is a major part of the role, but you must also be fully willing to handle all housekeeping tasks, including bathrooms, to a luxury standard.
Travel is a key element. Flights are typically private, and accommodation is in high-quality private residences and villas. Discretion, composure, and pace are essential.
