The posting

Shape the way an exceptional family experiences the world.

We are looking for a Head of Travel & Lifestyle to serve a discreet, internationally active ultra-high-net-worth family. This is a leadership role for someone who will own, build and elevate the family’s entire Travel & Lifestyle function.

This is not a booking role. You will be the strategist behind every journey, season and celebration. You’ll anticipate needs before they arise, curate experiences few people ever access, and lead a team that delivers flawlessly, often at a moment’s notice.

If you thrive on complexity, love the art of the extraordinary, and want a long-term home where your expertise is trusted and valued, this is your next chapter.

What You’ll Own

Strategy & Vision

  • Design and lead the family’s long-term Travel & Lifestyle strategy
  • Plan key trips, holidays, seasons and events well ahead, while adapting seamlessly to evolving business and personal schedules
  • Bring fresh inspiration by researching and proposing new destinations, hidden gems and once-in-a-lifetime experiences

Leadership

  • Lead, inspire and develop a dedicated Travel & Lifestyle team
  • Set clear priorities, deadlines and quality standards, and make sure they are met
  • Take full ownership of the function’s performance and results
  • Partner closely with other teams across the organisation as a fully integrated member of the wider team

World-Class Travel Delivery

  • Oversee all domestic and international travel, from multi-destination itineraries to last-minute changes
  • Arrange private and commercial aviation, helicopters, yachts and bespoke ground transportation
  • Source and secure the finest hotels, villas, chalets and private residences worldwide
  • Conduct scouting trips and property inspections across the globe
  • Orchestrate exclusive events, activities and leisure experiences

Partnerships & Value

  • Cultivate relationships with the world’s leading luxury suppliers
  • Negotiate exceptional rates, terms and added privileges
  • Ensure every expense is benchmarked, transparent and delivers outstanding value, with no compromise on quality
  • Monitor commissions and supplier markups with full clarity

Safety & Peace of Mind

  • Work hand in hand with the Security Team to assess and manage travel risks
  • Oversee travel insurance and resolve on-trip issues swiftly and discreetly

REQUIREMENTS

You’ll be a great fit if you bring:

  • Proven experience in luxury Travel & Lifestyle for UHNW families
  • Previous experience serving UHNW principals directly in a private client environment
  • A strong professional background in the luxury travel industry
  • Deep knowledge of premier international destinations, luxury hospitality and private aviation
  • Demonstrated success leading and developing a team
  • A structured, systematic mindset paired with genuine creativity and initiative
  • Strong negotiation skills and an established network of premium suppliers
  • A proven track record in cost optimisation and commercial thinking
  • The ability to manage a high workload and shifting priorities with calm and precision
  • A high sense of responsibility, discretion and integrity
  • Fluent Russian and English (additional languages are a strong plus)
  • A truly international outlook and comfort working across cultures

Mobility

  • Ability to travel internationally at short notice, including to the UK, Schengen Area, US and other key destinations, without visa or immigration restrictions that could delay urgent travel
  • Willingness to travel regularly and accompany the family when required

Why Join Us?

  • A role with real ownership. Build and lead a function, not just run it
  • Access to the extraordinary. Work with the world’s most exclusive destinations, properties and experiences
  • Long-term stability. A trusted, fully integrated position in a close-knit, high-performing team
  • Global exposure. Regular international travel and scouting across the world’s finest locations
  • Highly competitive compensation package!

Confidentiality is guaranteed for all applicants. We look forward to hearing from you.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
