Our Vacancies

A warm, private family in San Francisco is looking for a Household Assistant to support their House Manager across two beautiful properties. The principals are kind and generous, and many of their staff have been with them for years. That loyalty says a lot about the household.

No two days in this role are the same. Your main focus will be the family’s gifting programme: finding thoughtful, unusual gifts for family, friends, colleagues and staff throughout the year. It’s a lovely project and one you can make your own. You’ll also help with formal dinners and larger gatherings, work with the florist to keep both homes full of flowers, and act as a trusted right hand to the House Manager. This suits someone with a polished service background, ideally from yachting, who likes variety and takes pride in getting the details right.

Own the family’s gifting programme: sourcing, buying, wrapping and delivering personal gifts for family, friends, colleagues and staff, and keeping track of key dates and preferences
Provide polished service when the family entertains, from intimate formal dinners to larger parties

Run errands across the city with care and good judgement
Help the House Manager coordinate staff schedules for a small team of housekeepers, groundskeepers and other household staff
Step in for the House Manager during their leave or time away, keeping both homes running smoothly
Take on whatever the household needs on a given day, with a positive, can-do attitude
