An estate manager functions as a director of a large property [or many residences] with or without estate grounds. As such, experience in employment matters, budgeting, gardening and landscaping, security matters, contractor management and event planning are essential. In the absence of a house manager or butler, the estate manager may also supervise staff working within the properties. Given the high responsibility this role requires, previous, well-referenced experience in this area of management is crucial. Please visit the Job Descriptions page for a full list of duties.
