Estate Manager
Often Estate and Household Manager jobs
are thought of as being the same. A job title is what the employer wants
to call it. For purposes of our definition, these two jobs are not the
same. When taken to a greater range of responsibility the title
Household Manager gives way to the Estate Manager who has all the same
skills and more. There will have more property, staff and issues to take
care of. Management often includes careful financial oversight, policy
making authority and use of executive level communications skills. There
may be a very large estate involved with significant auxiliary features
such as stables, golf course, vineyard and so forth. There may be
private aircraft and yachts to oversee and perhaps multiple homes to
oversee. There may be an involvement with the employer's business. As
with the Household Manger, the Estate Manager needs to understand the
jobs of all staff that he or she oversee. Salaries range from $80,000 to
$150,000 or more with corporate style benefits.
