🏖️ Professional Traveling Chef — Southampton, Miami & NYC (UHNW Household)

🍽 Opportunity A private UHNW household is hiring a Professional Traveling Chef who'll cook across three homes — Southampton, Miami and New York City — following the family's seasonal calendar rather than staying fixed in one kitchen. At $165,000–$200,000 a year, it's toward the top of what private household cooking pays in the US, and the three-city rotation is the job's real selling point. 👨‍🍳 Role - Cook for the family across Southampton, Miami and New York City residences, following their seasonal calendar - Plan and execute daily meals and entertaining-level events tailored to each household - Manage kitchen operations independently within a formal UHNW household structure - Adapt menus and logistics to each property's rhythm and the family's travel schedule 🌎 ChefJobs Abroad Analysis Most private chef roles fix a cook in one house; this one is built around following the family's own seasonal migration — Hamptons summers, Miami winters, New York in between — which is a genuinely different kind of variety from a single fixed posting. The $165,000–$200,000 range puts this near the top of the US private household market, and the benefits package (health insurance, 401(k) match, PTO, sick days) is more structured than most private chef roles, which often skip formal benefits entirely. Five years' experience is the stated minimum, with UHNW household experience specifically called out — this isn't a first private-service job. ⭐ ChefJobs Rating: 7.6/10 ✅ Best Fit - Private chefs with 5+ years' experience, including specific UHNW household service - Formally trained chefs comfortable holding fine-dining standards in a private, not restaurant, setting - Those who want variety across three well-known US locations rather than one fixed kitchen - Candidates who value structured benefits (health insurance, 401(k), PTO) alongside private-service pay - US-authorised workers able to travel between Southampton, Miami and NYC on the family's schedule - Chefs who prioritise total compensation and stability over international relocation
