family appointments, liaising with household staff and external stakeholders, and overseeing a range of ad hoc projects.

The successful candidate will be a natural problem-solver who anticipates needs, manages competing priorities and ensures everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. No two days will be the same, so flexibility, initiative and a genuine willingness to go above and beyond are key.
