Estate Manager – Palm Beach, FL

We are seeking a highly capable and steady-handed Estate Manager to join a private Palm Beach household and help lead its next chapter of excellence. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in high-level operations, brings deep experience in construction, renovations, and systems implementation, and carries a grounded, solution-oriented presence.

The estate is already operating at a high standard with an incredible, long-standing team in place. Now, we’re looking for someone who can partner with the Chief of Staff to refine systems, streamline operations, and set the tone for a growing leadership structure. This is not a role for someone dramatic or reactive. The right person leads with calm authority, clear direction, and a natural 24/7 mentality that comes from pride in ownership and commitment to excellence.

What You’ll Do:

  • Oversee day-to-day estate operations with precision and efficiency

  • Manage construction projects, renovations, and property enhancements from concept through completion

  • Develop, refine, and implement systems and SOPs to optimize estate operations

  • Partner closely with the Chief of Staff to lead, mentor, and manage an exceptional household team

  • Ensure the estate functions seamlessly at all times, proactively addressing issues before they arise

  • Maintain vendor relationships and hold contractors accountable to the highest standards

  • Provide calm, decisive leadership in both routine and high-pressure situations

Who You Are:

  • Experienced in hospitality, hotels, or private estates, with a strong operational background

  • Deeply knowledgeable in construction, facilities, and property management

  • A natural leader who commands respect through quiet confidence and competence

  • Grounded, dependable, and unshaken by pressure

  • Someone with the instincts and stamina for a 24/7 role in a dynamic household environment

  • A systems builder who loves turning complexity into clarity

Why This Role:
This is an opportunity to step into a respected household with a loyal team and help shape its future. For the right candidate, this role will evolve into a true leadership position—partnering at the highest levels to manage people, projects, and performance with excellence.

If you bring the discipline of hospitality, the technical knowledge of construction and renovations, and the steady presence of a proven operator, we’d love to hear from you.
