Household / Estate Manager Jobs

Household Managers

Household manager /butler candidates through MBF assure that a household is operating smoothly. As a household manager, you should have previous household management (or similar) experience. You will often manage the duties and schedules of the household staff, as well as arrange for external household services as needed. In addition to being familiar with all domestic roles and responsibilities, MBF’s household managers provide hands-on services themselves. Duties may include managing a household budget, keeping supplies stocked, making travel arrangements, maintaining care of employer’s valuables, planning and coordinating special events, running personal errands for the employer and household, and coordinating all aspects of entertaining including receiving guests, assisting in proper table setting, and arranging outside service providers. Candidates may either manage the household or they work under an estate manager.

Estate Managers

MBF’s estate managers function as the director of a large property and often multiple residences. Because estate managers supervise all household staff, you must possess expertise in a vast array of areas including human resources (hiring, training, bookkeeping and payroll of all household staff), landscaping procedures, security planning, contractor maintenance/scheduling, and planning /executing social events for the employer. Our estate managers also run a variety of personal and household errands.

Estate manager candidates must possess a business background, either through a degree, a training program, or related experience. Social etiquette is also a necessity, therefore you should have excellent interpersonal skills and understand appropriate practices. An aptitude in technology background is also essential for an effective estate manager.
