Estate Manager | Dubai / UAE

THE POSITION

The role of Estate Manager for the Dubai properties is a newly created position and will include day-to-day management of staff, who are from a variety of backgrounds, to ensure calm and efficient running of the properties whilst maintaining a family atmosphere in the least intrusive way.  The Estate Manager will report directly to the Principals and will closely liaise with the Family Office and the Principal’s EA.

THE FAMILY

The family consist of 2 adults and 3 children (aged 12, 9 and 8).  The children are at school in Dubai and this is the family's primary family residence.  There are four properties, all on The Palm, with staff of different nationalities, currently working across all properties, although this arrangement is currently being rationalised.  Management of the staff is a major responsibility although in liaison with the CEO of Family Office.  Presentation of the properties must be meticulous but the house is a family home and a warm and comfortable atmosphere must prevail. It must also be a friendly and respectful work environment.

THE CANDIDATE

Male or female, there is an absolute requirement to find candidates who have prior experience of working in the Arabian peninsular, someone with established knowledge and understanding of the cultural mores and local workforce. Knowledge of the language would be a massive benefit!
