Job Description

This opportunity is presented by two innovative entrepreneurs whose lifestyle is as dynamic and globe-trotting as their business endeavors. Their lifestyle spans multiple locations, including San Juan, Puerto Rico, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and other international destinations. The company embraces a lifestyle of luxury, health, and high performance, offering an extraordinary role for the right candidate. This role is classified as full-time with an annual compensation package of $80,000, inclusive of room and board, along with comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits. Additional perks include 5 weeks of Flexible Paid Time Off (FTO) which also includes Paid Sick Leave, 7 paid holidays, extensive international travel opportunities, and luxury housing accommodations for the duration of travel assignments.

The role of Travel Personal Chef / Personal Assistant is a multifaceted and highly dynamic position that integrates culinary skill, meticulous travel management, household operations, and personal administrative support. This position caters to professionals who are passionate about food and service excellence, organizational prowess, and the excitement of global travel. The primary function is to ensure that every aspect of the principals' personal lives — including their nutrition, travel arrangements, household management, and lifestyle organization — is executed flawlessly and efficiently.

The culinary responsibilities require the preparation of fresh, healthy, and creative meals 3 to 5 nights per week, focusing on nutritious light proteins and seasonal produce inspired by international cuisines. The personal chef must be adaptable to various kitchen setups, including private homes and Airbnb accommodations, and should plan weekly menus that align with the principals' nutritional preferences and health goals. Grocery shopping, both locally and internationally, sourcing specialty ingredients, pantry stocking, and kitchen organization to minimize waste are essential components of this culinary role. Coordination with external caterers or private chefs for larger events is expected, ensuring flawless event execution.

In hospitality and entertaining, the Travel Personal Chef/Personal Assistant plans and manages small dinners, social gatherings, and private events with refinement and creativity. This includes designing menus and settings, procuring decor and linens, and logistic coordination with caterers. Providing professional service during events—such as plating and guest interaction—is a crucial part of delivering a warm guest experience across all residences and travel destinations.

The role heavily emphasizes travel management. The successful candidate coordinates all travel logistics, managing flights, accommodations, ground transport, dining, and activities for the principals and themselves. Extended stays of 3 to 8 weeks are typical in the United States, Europe, and Canada. This includes arriving ahead of the principals to prepare residences by unpacking, stocking groceries, setting up Wi-Fi, and managing check-ins. Handling travel documentation with precision and proactive research into destination activities is also a top priority.

Oversight of household and property operations demands managing multiple residences, supervising vendors for cleaning, maintenance, and other services, and ensuring the homes are immaculate and functional. Budget tracking, supply management, and vehicle oversight complete the comprehensive property management duties.

Lastly, the position requires personal and administrative support—all conducted with discretion and confidentiality. Managing calendars, appointments, correspondences, running errands, and administrative task oversight ensures life runs smoothly for the principals. Proficiency with Google Workspace and Asana is vital as they use these platforms to monitor personal projects and daily to-dos.

This role is a career-defining, unique opportunity for anyone who excels at blending culinary artistry, travel logistics, household management, and personalized service, all while embracing a global, health-conscious, and active lifestyle. Those who thrive in this position will enjoy a great sense of fulfillment in creating extraordinary experiences, comfort, and efficiency for two entrepreneurial principals in a luxury setting.
