ultra-luxury small hotel located in the mountains, very near São
Paulo city. The Hotel boasts high luxury accommodation, a state of
the art Spa, and a restaurant run by a renowned internationally
trained chef.
Ideal candidate

experience as Head Butler or Estate Management skills. Ideally in the hotel business, who has a vast experience

high-end service industry, and the key to a successful management of
a small Hotel that runs very similar to a sophisticated Estate.
Someone that has a passion to exceed guests’ expectations by
providing a highly personalized, invisible service and anticipating
their needs before they arise.
Regarding the language issue, the client
hopes to find someone with Portuguese as first language, or French,
Spanish and or Italian, so it will be easier to learn the necessary
Portuguese on the day to day work at the business.
Salary gross per annum In the range of
US$65-80,000 + benefits, bonus plan (another 3 to 6 salaries) tied
to performance, and a very substantial upside in vested
stock/shareholding if the person is right and wants to commit to the
long term. Other benefits Complete housing, medical plans, transport
