We are representing a high profile couple who are based on the East Coast but also have a home in Menlo Park. They are seeking a butler who is able to work either a morning 6am-2pm or afternoon 2pm-9pm schedule. The candidate needs to be flexible in case there are schedule changes or to cover for someone who is out. The candidate to hire needs to have a commute within 45 minutes to Menlo Park.
The job duties will include, but are not limited to: serving the client (husband & wife) and their guests; working closely with culinary and housekeeping teams; place setting and clearing; and beverage service. The candidates to hire must have a calm demeanor. The candidates to hire will need to be available for potential travel; the client also will spend some time in Arizona for a few weeks. When the couple are not in town, the schedule is more normal such as 9am-5pm.
