About the Role

Join two dynamic entrepreneurs whose lifestyle spans Puerto Rico, the U.S., and abroad.

This role centers around culinary excellence, travel readiness, and lifestyle management.

If you love to cook, travel, and create order and comfort in luxury settings, this is a career-defining opportunity.

Culinary 

• Prepare fresh, healthy, and creative meals 3–5 nights per week — focusing on light proteins, seasonal produce, and globally inspired recipes.
• Confidently cook in multiple kitchens (home and Airbnb) with varying equipment.
• Plan weekly menus aligned with the principals’ nutritional preferences, health goals, and travel itinerary.
• Grocery shop locally and internationally; source specialty and high-quality ingredients.
• Stock pantries and refrigerators with fresh produce, healthy snacks, and household staples.
• Maintain a clean, well-organized kitchen and manage food inventory to minimize waste.
• Coordinate private chefs or catering for large dinners or entertaining events.

Hospitality & Entertaining

• Plan and execute small dinners, private events, and social gatherings with refinement and creativity.
• Design menus, tablescapes, and settings; shop for decor, linens, and ingredients.
• Coordinate logistics with caterers or chefs for larger functions.
• Provide warm, professional service during events — plating, pouring, clearing, and resetting.
• Manage invitations, RSVPs, guest communication, and follow-up.
• Create a comfortable, welcoming environment for guests in all homes and travel destinations.

Travel Management

• Coordinate and manage all travel logistics for the principals and yourself, including flights, accommodations, ground transportation, restaurants, and experiences.
• Accompany the principals on extended stays (typically 3–8 weeks) in the U.S., Europe, and Canada.
• Arrive early when needed to stage residences or Airbnbs: unpack suitcases, stock groceries, set up Wi-Fi, and prepare the environment.
• Manage check-ins/check-outs, troubleshoot property issues, and liaise with hosts or management.
• Research destinations, book restaurants, wellness appointments, and cultural activities in advance.
• Handle all travel documentation with precision — DOBs, TSA PreCheck, passports, and visa details — ensuring accuracy.

Household & Property Operations

• Oversee daily household operations across multiple residences.
• Manage and supervise vendors (cleaning, maintenance, landscaping, repairs, deliveries).
• Ensure homes remain organized, clean, and functional whether occupied or vacant.
• Track household expenses, utilities, and maintenance budgets.
• Maintain property supplies, linens, and inventory of essentials.
• Oversee household vehicles — registration, servicing, cleaning, and insurance renewals.

Personal & Administrative Support

• Send calendar invites and personal emails on behalf of the principals.
• Track personal projects, goals, and to-dos in Asana, keeping tasks current and visible.
• Run errands, schedule personal appointments, and manage recurring administrative tasks.
• Organize digital and physical documents; maintain confidentiality and order.
• Ensure all messages and communications are cleared by week’s end, with no lingering open loops.

Qualifications & Lifestyle Fit

• 5+ years in private service, hospitality, or personal assistant roles.
• Experienced and passionate chef — self-taught or culinary school trained — comfortable improvising and exploring new cuisines.
• Beginner Spanish or ability to use translation tools confidently.
• Travel requirement: 75–100% annually  all expenses covered. Excellent travel adaptability; enjoys long stays abroad.
• Organized, reliable, discreet, and self-directed.
• Tech proficiency: Google Workspace (Gmail, Calendar, Drive) and Asana.
• Service-minded and aligned with a health-conscious, high-performance lifestyle.
