Full-Time Live-Out Estate Manager | Austin, Texas
A highly private UHNW family with a newborn is seeking an experienced, polished, and discreet Full-Time Live-Out Estate Manager to support the smooth operation of their Austin residence. The family has recently relocated to Austin and is seeking someone available to begin as early as August 2026.
Local candidates are preferred, though the family is open to considering exceptional out-of-state candidates who are able to relocate to Austin promptly if offered the position.
The ideal candidate is a calm, capable, and highly organized household professional with strong leadership skills, sound judgment, and a service-minded approach. This person should be comfortable working in a fully staffed private home and should lead by example, fostering a respectful, collaborative, and high-performing household environment.
The family is seeking candidates with a minimum of 8+ years of professional private service experience, excellent long-term tenure with previous employers, strong communication skills, discretion, and a positive, can-do attitude. Because this is intended to be a long-term role, the right candidate should be genuinely committed to the position, schedule, and family for many years to come.
Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Overseeing the smooth, organized, and efficient daily operation of the residence
• Managing household staff, including schedules, duties, workflow, and household standards
• Serving as the primary point of contact between the principals and household team
• Maintaining excellent communication with the family, staff, vendors, and service providers
• Managing household supplies, purchasing, restocking, and inventory as needed
• Assisting with calendars, schedules, appointments, and household logistics
• Arranging transportation and coordinating vendors or service appointments as needed
• Supporting caterers, vendors, and staff during private events and entertaining
• Creating and maintaining a household manual, including vendor lists, protocols, systems, and preferences
• Assisting other household staff when needed and maintaining a true team-player mindset
• Using strong computer and organizational skills to maintain household systems and communication
One of the most important qualities for this role is an exceptional attitude paired with a strong work ethic. The Estate Manager will be responsible for helping create an environment of trust, professionalism, respect, discretion, and high standards throughout the household.
This is a highly confidential private residence. The selected candidate must be comfortable signing an NDA and maintaining strict confidentiality regarding all aspects of the family, residence, staff, and position.
Compensation starts at $150,000+ per year, with final salary based on experience, qualifications, and long-term tenure with previous employers. Health insurance is included, and a relocation stipend may be considered for the right out-of-state candidate.
