*MUST BE COMFORTABLE DRIVING IN NYC TRAFFIC FOR THIS ROLE!!!*

We are helping a very kind client find their unicorn junior travel butler. There is travel every month, at minimum 2 weeks out of the month. When traveling, you will either travel with the principal or ahead of him. You will check him into the hotel, ensure his clothing is unpacked, ironed and put away, car services are arranged, reservations are all set and any ad hoc duties that may come up. Some trips you will be needed for the entire stay, other trips you are able to go back to NYC early. When not traveling with the client, he will need you for other duties. Your day will begin by driving him uptown by 7am, driving him to meetings, running errands, assisting his partner with any duties related to the home or admin work, and anything else that might arise. Later in the afternoon, your duties will pick back up – driving to and from meetings, uptown to downtown, driving to dinner etc. This is a 5 day week role, primarily M-F, but when traveling flexibility is required.

Being tech saavy is very important for this role. They might ask you to update items on a Google doc, so familiarity with this is important. You might be asked to pay vendors or invoices, help with travel arrangements, booking flights, ensuring they are using their flight credits, coordinating with other staff etc.
