A very private family based in Miami, Florida, is seeking an exceptional Private Chef to join and strengthen their established full-time private chef team. This is a long-term opportunity for a highly experienced chef who understands the expectations of UHNW households and takes genuine pride in delivering outstanding cuisine and service.
The family is known for being generous, loyal, and exceptionally supportive of their staff, many of whom have been with them for years. They offer an excellent working environment, a highly competitive compensation package, and numerous additional benefits that cannot all be detailed in this advertisement.
The chef will work alongside the existing team on a flexible rotational schedule of up to 1 week on / 1 week off, typically 4–5 days on followed by 4–5 days off.
The position is primarily based in Miami, Florida, with the possibility of occasional travel.
The family travels frequently between multiple estates, and the chef may be required to accompany them or travel ahead to prepare for their arrival. Depending on the family's needs and the chef's circumstances, the role may also be primarily based in Miami.
Flexibility with changing schedules, locations, and family arrangements is essential.
The family follows a healthy Californian-style diet, with a strong preference for colorful, beautifully presented farm-to-table cuisine, emphasizing organic ingredients, Mediterranean influences, balanced nutrition, and fresh seasonal produce.
Due to a household member's dietary requirements, the kitchen operates as a strictly gluten-free environment, requiring a thorough understanding of celiac-safe food preparation, ingredient sourcing, and cross-contamination prevention.
The principals have distinct dietary preferences and individual tastes, requiring the chef to be adaptable and comfortable preparing different dishes for each principal within the same meal service.
The children often dine separately from the adults, requiring the chef to accommodate different mealtimes and preferences. On other occasions, the family enjoys dining together. The chef must be comfortable managing multiple meal services throughout the day, preparing up to three meals daily.
The family also enjoys entertaining, so the chef must be confident preparing exceptional cuisine for larger gatherings.
The emphasis is on simple, delicious, nutritious food, beautifully prepared and consistently executed, rather than overly elaborate or Michelin-style presentations.
The role includes daily menu planning, preparing varied and nutritious family meals, managing kitchen inventory, and assisting with kitchen-related tasks such as labelling, food preparation for travel, and coordinating with the wider household team.
The family is seeking one of the industry's finest private chefs, with the professional experience, culinary versatility, and personality to complement an established, long-serving household team.
The ideal candidate will have:
Over 5 years of experience serving UHNW families internationally, with a strong understanding of private household standards, discretion, and service expectations.
Extensive experience catering to international families, adapting to different cultures, preferences, dietary requirements, and lifestyles.
A strong restaurant background, providing an excellent culinary foundation alongside substantial private household experience.
Expert knowledge of healthy Californian-style and Mediterranean cuisine, with a genuine passion for fresh, organic, seasonal, and nutritious food.
A strong understanding of macronutrients, micronutrients, and nutritional balance, with the ability to create meals tailored to individual dietary goals.
Proven experience preparing strict celiac-safe, gluten-free cuisine, including full awareness of hidden gluten sources, ingredient verification, and cross-contamination risks.
Excellent organizational skills and adaptability, including the ability to manage different menus, multiple meal services, changing schedules, and occasional travel between residences.
A genuinely positive attitude, exceptional professionalism, humility, and a team-first mentality.
Personality is just as important as culinary ability.
The family is looking for someone who is genuinely pleasant, professional, flexible, discreet, and completely free of ego.
This is not a position for a chef seeking personal recognition or creative control at the expense of the family's preferences. The right candidate will be equally happy preparing a beautifully executed simple meal as an elaborate dinner for guests, understanding that the family's satisfaction always comes first.
The existing team has worked with the family for many years, and the successful candidate must be able to integrate seamlessly, support their colleagues, and contribute positively to an already excellent working environment.
The ideal chef will embrace the challenge of delivering consistently exceptional food, whether based exclusively in Miami or occasionally travelling between the family's residences.
This is a genuine long-term career opportunity with a family that values, respects, and takes exceptional care of its staff.
The position offers:
A highly competitive salary, flexible for an exceptional candidate.
An outstanding benefits package, including additional benefits that cannot be fully disclosed at this stage.
Relocation assistance and the possibility of temporary housing assistance.
A supportive, professional, and well-established working environment, alongside a long-serving household team.
Long-term stability and career satisfaction with a family known for its generosity and commitment to its employees.
The family is prepared to offer an exceptional overall package to secure the right chef, but places equal importance on experience, personality, adaptability, and genuine commitment to the position.
Candidates must already have the legal right to live and work in the United States to be considered.
Given the family's timeline, trials will be arranged in the next few weeks, with priority given to U.S.-based chefs.
All candidates will be required to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before receiving further confidential details about the position.
This is an exceptional opportunity for a world-class private chef seeking a rewarding, long-term position with a highly respected and generous private family.
