House Manager, Paris

House Manager, Paris (with international travel) 
Accommodation provided
Salary: c. €7,000 net per month depending on experience.
 
One of our private clients requires an exceptional, hands-on House Manager to oversee their private residences, based in Paris and acting as a trusted right hand to the principals.
 
The Role
This is a rare opportunity for a House Manager who combines polished, high-level management skills with a genuine willingness to roll up their sleeves. Based at the family's principal residence in Paris, the successful candidate will ensure every property is maintained to impeccable, hotel-standard presentation at all times, and will travel regularly to the family's other residences in Europe and internationally.
 
The principals are looking for someone who can act as a seamless extension of themselves: a person with an innate eye for detail, a natural sense of taste and style in the home, and a real passion for organisation and table service. This is very much a doing role as well as a managing one; the successful candidate will be equally comfortable leading the household team as ironing, reorganising cupboards or checking stock levels themselves.
 
Key Responsibilities

• Overseeing the day-to-day running of the household to the highest standards across multiple properties
• Carrying out thorough pre-arrival checks ahead of the family's visits, such as quality control, fridges, stocks, flowers and candles, so that each property feels ready and welcoming
• Supervising, training and developing the existing household team, including standards of presentation and uniform
• Hands-on involvement in household tasks, including ironing, tidying and organising cupboards, and managing stock levels
• Overseeing table service and setting the standard for entertaining at home
• Managing property maintenance and coordinating contractors, from decorating works to technical repairs
• Working closely with the principals' Personal Assistant and wider household staff to ensure smooth coordination across all residences

Candidate Profile

• Extensive experience as a House Manager, Head Housekeeper or Butler within a formal UHNW private household, ideally across multiple properties
• A classically trained, traditional approach to private service, combined with a modern, hands-on attitude
• An exceptional eye for detail, with genuine taste in interiors, presentation and decorating
• Highly skilled in table service, housekeeping and the care of fine items
• A natural leader, confident training and supervising staff while working alongside them
• Comfortable with an irregular schedule, for example extended working blocks followed by a full week off
• Happy to travel frequently between properties at short notice
• Discreet, polished and professional, with an impeccable understanding of the expectations of private service
• European passport or existing right to work in France required
• Fluent French

Hours & Package
Irregular hours, structured around the family's schedule and travel, with extended periods of work balanced by extended time off. A one-bedroom apartment is provided, located close to the main residence.
