Job description

A high-profile private principal in Jeddah is seeking an experienced Personal Butler for an immediate, long-term, live-in role providing warm, attentive personal service and front-of-house support in the main residence. This is a focused, principal-facing position: a respected place for someone who takes genuine pride in fine service and is looking for stability and long-term tenure rather than a short-term opportunity.

The role

Personal service & hospitality

- Attentive daily personal service to the principal: anticipating preferences, routines, and standards

- Formal and informal table service for the principal's meals and guest occasions

- Wardrobe care: pressing, organization, packing for travel, and careful handling of fine garments

- Preparation of light snacks, meals, and beverages (tea, coffee, juices) throughout the day

- Discreet handling of errands, travel logistics, and special requests

Residence & operations

- Maintaining the residence in a consistently high, guest-ready condition

- Operating smart home systems, security cameras, entertainment systems, and household technology with confidence

- Coordinating with any household staff as appointed by the principal

- Care for household pets: feeding, grooming appointments, and vet visits (dogs, cats, and other animals)

The package

A long-term appointment in a discreet private household, offering stability, dignity, and a respected place in the residence, for someone for whom fine service is a career rather than a transition. Compensation is set well above the standard for private household service and reflects the trust and standards of the role. The position includes live-in accommodation, meals, medical coverage, paid leave, travel home, and end-of-service benefits, with all sponsorship and engagement costs fully covered by the employer. Engagement is under formal written agreement, and complete terms are confirmed during the selection process. Selection will be thorough.
