Estate Manager in Pasadena
We are looking for an experienced Estate Manager for an UHNW family in Pasadena. The family owns multiple properties throughout CA, but your main priority will be the Pasadena residence. This is a Mon-Fri role, but will require flexibility.
The client is looking for someone comfortable wearing multiple hats to manage all household operations, has a strong eye for detail, and is mechanically-inclined (i.e. someone who can talk to the electrician and understand and relay the information to the principal). This is a well-oiled machine and needs a highly qualified leader to maintain fluidity. The ideal candidate is a jack of all trades, has no ego and sees no job as too big or too small. The family is incredibly private/low-profile so discretion is crucial!
Day to day:
Manage and oversee all household operations, projects and repairs
Source multiple estimates from subcontractors
Manage vehicle maintenance and records
Manage domestic employees; handle any related scheduling & HR issues
Facilitate vet care for dogs
Coordinate holidays and other events hosted at home
Review final invoices before submitting for approval
Working with office team/accounts payables to ensure vendors are paid promptly
Requirements:
Experience managing large properties (20k sqft+); multiple properties a plus
10-15 years related experience, preferably with multiple families
Long tenures at previous roles
Accustomed to daily communications with the principal
Excellent communication and negotiation skills
Comfortable around dogs
Must be energetic and physically fit
Local candidates with a local rolodex is highly preferred
Ability to be flexible and work overtime as needed or directed by principal
Highly responsive, including after “typical” business hours
This is a fully-staffed residence with an Assistant Estate Manager, Houseman, Nanny, and 3 Full-Time Housekeepers. One of the Housekeepers has been with the family for 8-9 years and has followed them to Pasadena from Orange County. This type of loyalty only means that this is a great family to work for!
