Job Description

Director of Residences | Private Family | Palm Beach County, FL


A private family is seeking a seasoned hospitality leader to oversee the operations, staff, and standards of their residences. This is a senior, hands-off leadership role for someone who has run a five-star operation and wants to bring that discipline to a private setting.


What you’ll do


  • Lead, train, and develop household managers and staff across multiple properties
  • Set service standards, write SOPs, and hold the team accountable to them
  • Run structured performance reviews tied to compensation
  • Oversee maintenance, vendors, and capital projects through house managers and trusted contractors
  • Manage budgets and provide clear, regular reporting to the principal
  • Serve as the principal’s single point of contact for all residential matters


What you bring


  • 10+ years of senior leadership in luxury hospitality: luxury hotel or resort, private club, or high-end residential or hotel-condo properties
  • A proven record of building teams, training staff, and managing performance
  • Strong financial skills and experience overseeing facilities and projects
  • Polish, sound judgment, and absolute discretion
  • A self-directed approach. You anticipate needs and solve problems without being directed.


Details


  • Based in the Palm Beach area, with periodic travel to a seasonal residence in the Northeast
  • Executive-level compensation and benefits
  • All inquiries are held in strict confidence
