We are seeking a charismatic, energetic Butler to join a high-profile private household for the summer season in NYC (Hamptons).
This is a high-energy hospitality-driven role within a beautifully run private residence where entertaining, family dinners, and summer events are part of daily life.
This is not a rigid, old-school silver-service position. The family is looking for someone modern, warm, proactive, and naturally hospitality-minded who enjoys creating a relaxed but polished environment.
If you thrive in dynamic luxury environments, love hosting, and have strong wine and cocktail knowledge, this is a fantastic seasonal opportunity.
Working closely with the Estate Manager, you will help ensure the household runs seamlessly while delivering exceptional hospitality during family dinners and summer entertaining.
Responsibilities include:
- Providing anticipatory service for principals and guests
- Leading service for family dinners and social gatherings
- Cocktail preparation and elevated bar service
- Wine presentation and pairing recommendations
- Beautiful table settings and event presentation
- Supporting themed evenings and summer entertaining
- Collaborating closely with chefs and housekeepers
- Driving principals or children when required
- Helping create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for family and guests
- Supporting smooth daily operations alongside the household team
The successful candidate will bring positive energy, strong presence, and the ability to read the room instinctively.
This is a lively and social summer household with regular entertaining and family gatherings.
Requirements
- 5+ years’ experience in private service or luxury hospitality
- Strong cocktail and wine knowledge
- Experience supporting entertaining and events
- Valid driver’s license and clean driving record
- Comfortable living on-site
- Strong communication and leadership presence
- Legally authorized to work in the United States
