Head of Travel & Lifestyle

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

Leadership

• Lead, inspire and develop a dedicated Travel & Lifestyle team
• Set clear priorities, deadlines and quality standards, and make sure they are met

• 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
