Overview

Oplu is leading the search for a Fund Operations Associate for a single-family office.

The Associate works alongside the Finance Manager across fund operations, payments, investment documentation and entity administration. This is an operations role, not an investment role. It suits someone who wants a long-term career in fund and family office operations rather than a route into investing.

The role calls for 2–5 years' experience in fund administration, portfolio or asset management operations, audit, banking operations, or a family office.

Turkish language is essential. Candidates must have the existing right to work in their base country. No visa sponsorship is offered.

The Opportunity

The family office holds a broad portfolio of private equity and venture capital fund commitments and direct investments, alongside hedge fund and public market holdings, with US and Cayman structuring.

The investment team has a defined remit. Everything outside it sits with finance operations: capital calls, subscriptions and redemptions, payments, KYC, documentation, portfolio data, and the administration behind new entities and bank accounts.

The Associate and the Finance Manager share this workload. There is no fixed split. Work goes where the volume is.

The team is small and fully remote. The role suits someone who takes ownership of whatever needs doing, including areas of overlapping responsibility, and sees it through. Confidentiality is fundamental.

Who This Role Suits

This position is suited to a finance professional who enjoys the discipline of fund administration and demonstrates exceptional attention to detail.

Relevant professional backgrounds include:

• Fund Operations Associate at a fund administrator or General Partner (GP).

• Fund Administrator.

• Portfolio Operations Analyst at an asset management firm.

• Audit Associate at a Big Four or mid-tier firm covering fund clients.

• Banking Operations Associate in middle-office or back-office functions.

• Family Office Analyst.

Key Responsibilities

Documents and Email Management

• Check the shared inbox daily and flag anything requiring action.

• Save fund notices, statements and agreements to the correct Google Drive folders, keeping archives accurate and up to date.

• Distribute relevant documents to the team.

Fund Operations

• Record capital call notices in the cash flow sheet and check called and uncalled amounts against fund records.

• Review capital account statements against internal records, then file and distribute them.

• Check management fees on capital call notices against fund terms and follow up on discrepancies.

• Complete monthly line-by-line reconciliations against internal records.

• Process subscriptions and redemptions across private equity, venture capital, hedge fund and public market holdings.

• Complete new subscription packs, including forms and KYC documentation, and archive signed copies.

Direct Investments

• Track funding schedules for direct investments and coordinate the required cash.

• Review cap tables and legal documentation for key terms and record them accurately.

• Follow up on KYC, signatures and documentation through to completion.

• Maintain accurate and up-to-date portfolio records.

Portfolio Data and Reporting

• Check that data flowing into Addepar is complete and accurate.

• Review IRR and MOIC calculations for accuracy.

Payments and Invoices

• Prepare payment instructions for capital calls and investments, coordinating payment dates with the EA team.

• Track engagement letters and invoices.

• Follow up on smaller invoices until payment is completed.

• Update bank balances across multiple banking institutions twice a month and report internally.

Entity Administration and Coordination

• Support the formation of new US entities, including bank account openings, signatures and corporate resolutions.

• Coordinate US visa matters with immigration counsel.

• Maintain private equity and venture capital files for US tax purposes and liaise with relevant advisers.

• Coordinate with Cayman administration.

• Handle urgent ad hoc tasks and follow them through to completion.

Requirements

Must-haves

• Proficiency with Google Workspace and disciplined electronic document management.

• Excellent numerical accuracy, attention to deadlines and follow-through.

• Ability to manage multiple smaller tasks simultaneously and identify discrepancies proactively.

• Flexible, collaborative approach to working within a small team where responsibilities overlap.

• Absolute discretion when handling sensitive financial information.

• Existing right to work in the candidate's country of residence. No visa sponsorship offered.

Strong Advantage

• Fund administration experience at a fund administrator, General Partner or family office.

• Experience with Addepar or a comparable portfolio reporting platform.

• Exposure to US tax administration for investment vehicles.

• Familiarity with Cayman fund administration and offshore structures.

• Experience preparing KYC and subscription documentation.

Preferred Background

Why This Role

Overview

Oplu is leading the search for a Finance and Operations Assistant to join an established UHNW family office in Milan.

This is a dual-track support role across finance and operations. The successful candidate supports both the Finance Manager and the Project and Operations Manager, responsible for the day-to-day running of the office across both functions: Xero reconciliations, cash reports, payment runs, supplier records, insurance claims, and the operational detail that keeps a UHNW family's personal and professional affairs in order.

This is a finance-first role in a small team. The family office describes it as entry level, but the person must already be financially literate and able to work independently from the start. There is scope to grow towards a Finance Manager role over time.

Who This Role Suits

A Finance Assistant, Accounts Assistant, or Bookkeeper who wants to build a career in a family office. Experience supporting a Principal, entrepreneur, or family, where business and personal finances overlap, is particularly relevant.

The role would also suit a PA or EA who has genuinely run the books for a Principal, including reconciliations and reporting, and now wants to move fully into finance.

A degree is not required. What matters is hands-on competence. You understand a P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow, and you need the numbers to reconcile. Presence matters too: polished, articulate, and composed with senior people.

Not a corporate accountant on autopilot. Not an EA who wants to sit at the Principal's shoulder.

Key Responsibilities

Finance Support

• Record and reconcile global bank transactions from several bank accounts and credit cards on Xero, weekly and monthly.

• Monitor several bank balances and prepare weekly cash reports.

• Retrieve and upload raw data for reporting purposes.

• Produce monthly, quarterly, and year-to-date global P&Ls for the Finance Manager to review.

• Issue invoices where necessary.

• Submit quarterly reimbursement reports to the Principal's company for expenses paid with personal funds.

• Organise the weekly payment run; draft, input, and execute payments on instruction.

• Submit Principal's company card receipts on the Brex platform.

• Maintain accurate payment records and handle highly sensitive information with discretion.

• Provide administrative assistance tracking investments across different platforms.

• Execute stock trades on instruction and report across accounts, highlighting realised profits following any sales.

• Complete ad hoc duties as instructed.

Operations Support

• Assist with data inputting, including forms, questionnaires, and similar.

• Submit and track health insurance claims.

• Assist with keeping track of suppliers and contracts, and keep the Property Registry duly organised.

• Keep the Family Office Google Drive storage in order and file documents in the right place.

• Calculate and track the family's yearly carbon offsets and report on them.

• Keep track of the family's days per country.

Requirements

Must-haves

• Hands-on bookkeeping, accounts, or finance administration experience, ideally on Xero.

• A working understanding of a P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow, and of realised versus unrealised gains.

• Experience handling mixed business and personal expenses for a Principal, entrepreneur, or family.

• Strong numeric skills, financial acumen, attention to detail, and a genuine interest in finance.

• Excel proficiency.

• Tech and IT savvy; comfortable with basic troubleshooting and investigating elementary IT issues.

• Minute-taking.

• Familiar with Mac OS and Gmail.

• Fluent English, written and spoken; excellent presentation and communication skills.

• Proactive, self-starting, and hands-on; able to pick up new challenges with a positive attitude.

• Able to work under pressure, respect deadlines, prioritise logically, and work effectively in a small team.

• Existing right to live and work in the UK. No visa sponsorship.

Strong Advantage

• Previous exposure to a HNW or UHNW family office, private office, or private wealth environment.

• Studying for, or planning to study for, a professional accountancy qualification (ACCA, CIMA, ACA, or AAT).

• Fluency in Spanish.

• Prior exposure to Brex or a comparable corporate-card platform.

• Prior exposure to multi-jurisdiction family office operations, including days-per-country tracking and international reimbursement flows.

• Location: Middle East. Specific country and city shared with shortlisted candidates under NDA.

• Contract: Full-time, permanent.

• Compensation: Commensurate with senior executive-chef benchmarks for private households at this tier. Full package shared with shortlisted candidates under NDA.

• Relocation: Single-status relocation support provided.

• Start Date: As soon as possible.

• Confidentiality: Highly confidential search. NDA required before further details are disclosed.

The Opportunity

Oplu is leading the search for an experienced Executive Chef to lead the culinary operation of a highly confidential private household in the Middle East.

The Executive Chef holds full accountability for the kitchen: menu development, food quality, kitchen operations, cost control, team leadership, food safety, and the household’s dining experience. The position reports to the Operations Manager and leads an established team of approximately 20 Chefs and Stewards. The culinary remit is equally divided between private dining and formal occasions, events and
visiting guests.

This is a senior appointment in a demanding private environment. The successful candidate will set standards for a brigade, run a kitchen with no prescribed supplier list, deliver international cuisine of consistent quality, and hold the discretion that a confidential household at this level requires.

Who This Role Suits

This role is best suited to an established Executive Chef or Senior Head Chef with a track record of leading large brigades to consistent high standards, ideally with private household, royal household, embassy residence, or super-prime estate exposure.

The right candidate is technically excellent, calm, commercial, and comfortable operating inside a confidential private environment. Not a commercial-hotel chef at heart. Not a chef who needs the structure of a prescribed supplier list. Comfortable with a single-status relocation and a demanding service pattern.

Key Responsibilities

• Ensure effective coordination between the kitchen, service team, and other departments.

• Deliver a broad range of international cuisine across both private dining and formal occasions.

• Support dietary and nutritional requirements, including familiarity with calorie-controlled dining.

Leadership and Team Management

• Recruit, train, develop, and supervise the culinary team.

• Establish clear performance expectations and maintain professional kitchen standards.

• Prepare staffing schedules and manage labour requirements in line with service needs.

• Conduct training and coaching to improve culinary skills, productivity, and service standards.

• Promote teamwork, discipline, professionalism, and a positive working environment.

• Evaluate team performance and address performance or conduct issues appropriately.

• Lead and coordinate the established team of approximately 20 Chefs and Stewards.

Food Cost and Financial Management

• Develop and manage food budgets in coordination with the Operations Manager.

• Monitor food costs, portion control, waste, spoilage, and inventory levels.

• Work closely with purchasing and suppliers to maintain quality while achieving cost objectives.

• Conduct regular inventory checks and investigate significant variances.

• Implement procedures to minimise food waste and maximise quality-adjusted spend.

• Ensure proper use and maintenance of kitchen equipment and resources.

Food Safety and Hygiene

• Ensure full compliance with applicable food safety, sanitation, and hygiene regulations.

• Maintain high standards of personal hygiene, kitchen cleanliness, and food handling.

• Implement and monitor HACCP and other relevant food-safety procedures.

• Conduct regular kitchen inspections and ensure corrective actions are implemented.

• Ensure proper storage, labelling, temperature control, and rotation of food products.

Purchasing and Supplier Management

• Work with the purchasing team to establish product specifications and quality standards.

• Evaluate suppliers and maintain strong professional relationships with approved vendors.

• Ensure all products received meet required quality, quantity, freshness, and specification standards.

• Approve or recommend products and ingredients according to culinary requirements.

• Apply professional judgement when sourcing ingredients and products; there is no prescribed supplier list.

Guest Experience and Quality

• Maintain high standards of household and guest satisfaction through consistent culinary quality.

• Respond professionally to feedback and culinary matters raised.

• Work with the Operations Manager and wider household teams to improve the dining experience.

• Ensure food presentation reflects the household’s standards.

• Adapt confidently between private dining and formal occasions, events, and visiting guests.

• Minimum of 5 to 10 years of progressive culinary experience, in a senior chef or executive chef position.

• Strong experience in high-volume food production and kitchen operations.

• Strong knowledge of food safety, sanitation, HACCP, and kitchen hygiene standards.

• Demonstrated experience with menu development, food costing, budgeting, and inventory management.

• Excellent knowledge of international culinary techniques and current food trends.

• Excellent written and spoken English.

• Comfortable relocating on a single-status basis.

• Available to start within approximately two months.

Strong Advantage

• Prior experience in a private household, royal household, embassy residence, or super-prime estate.

• Prior exposure to confidential private environments and NDA-governed service.

• Experience leading a brigade of comparable scale, ideally 15+.

• Experience in a region of similar cultural and dietary context, such as the Middle East, Gulf, or comparable.

Personal Attributes

• Creative and passionate about food and hospitality.

• Strong leadership presence with the ability to motivate and develop teams.

• Highly organised and detail-oriented.

• Calm and effective under pressure.

• Commercially aware and cost-conscious.

• Professional, disciplined, and committed to quality.

• • Location: Regent’s Park, London (W1). Live-out.

  • Salary: £20 to £25 gross per hour, equivalent to £250 to £300 gross per 12-hour shift.

  • Contract: Fixed-term, up to 6 months, with a break clause on both sides.

  • Working Pattern: 6 nights per week, 12-hour shifts, 8pm to 8am. Some ad-hoc travel, UK and Europe.

  • Start Date: On or around 1 February 2027.

  Overview

  Oplu is leading the search for an experienced Night Maternity Nurse, also known as a Specialist Night Nanny, for a warm same-sex couple welcoming their first baby, based in Regent’s Park, London.

  The baby arrives at the end of December 2026. The family returns to their London home at the start of February 2027, when the position begins. The successful candidate will provide overnight coverage for approximately the first six months.

  The Opportunity

  The parents are hands-on and want to stay that way. The core purpose of the role is to protect the parents’ sleep, hold the night with confidence and consistency, and support a healthy feeding and sleep pattern from day one. This is not an outsourced-parenting position.

  The family also travels occasionally: a UK holiday home and short trips into Europe. The successful candidate travels with the family on those trips and holds the same night rhythm on the road as at home.

  A second baby is anticipated in the following year to 18 months, so there is a possibility of a return engagement for the right candidate.

  Who this role suits

  This role is best suited to an experienced Night Maternity Nurse or Specialist Night Nanny with a strong track record of newborn night coverage for private families in London.

  The right candidate is warm, calm, collaborative, and comfortable working alongside hands-on parents. Not directive. Not proprietary. Confident enough to guide, humble enough to fit into a household rather than run it.

  The successful candidate will also be comfortable travelling with the family for a UK holiday home stay or a short European trip when the calendar requires it.

  Key Responsibilities

  Night coverage

  • Provide 12-hour night coverage from 8pm to 8am, 6 nights per week.

  • Take primary responsibility for the baby overnight: feeding, settling, changing, comforting, and monitoring.

  • Support and coordinate feeding with the parents and adapt to the family’s plan.

  • Establish and hold a healthy sleep routine appropriate to the baby’s age.

  • Handle wake-ups, discomfort, and settling without waking the parents unless clinically necessary.

  Handover and parental partnership

  • Deliver clean, concise morning handovers to the parents at 8am, including feeding times, sleep quality, and any observations.

  • Maintain a simple written or app-based log the parents can trust.

  • Work collaboratively with the parents’ own night involvement, particularly around feeding preferences.

  • Communicate any concerns early, calmly, and clearly.

  Newborn wellbeing

  • Monitor the baby’s feeding, weight gain, sleep, and general wellbeing overnight.

  • Recognise clinical red flags and escalate promptly.

  • Maintain a clean, calm, and safe nursery environment.

  • Handle bottle sterilising, baby-related laundry, and nursery restocking as part of the night pattern.

  Travel with the family

  • Accompany the family on ad-hoc travel to a UK holiday home and occasional European trips.

  • Hold the same night pattern and standards on the road as at home.

  Household fit

  • Work discreetly and quietly, integrating alongside a housekeeper present most days and hands-on parents.

  • Respect the family’s routines and boundaries.

  • Handle sensitive information at family level with absolute confidentiality.

  Requirements

  Must-haves

  • Substantial recent experience as a Maternity Nurse, Night Maternity Nurse, or Specialist Night Nanny to private families, with a portfolio of confirmed newborn placements.

  • Strong newborn feeding and settling skills.

  • Age-appropriate sleep-shaping experience for the first six months.

  • Current Paediatric First Aid certification.

  • Enhanced DBS check on file, or willingness to obtain immediately.

  • Warm, calm, collaborative style; comfortable working alongside hands-on parents.

  • Experience with, and willingness to, travel alongside the family, including UK holiday home stays and occasional European trips.

  • Existing right to live and work in the UK.

  • London-based or able to commute reliably to W1.

  • Available to start on or around 1 February 2027 and to commit to up to 6 months.

  Strong advantage

  • Prior experience supporting a same-sex couple household or a first-time-parent household.

  • Sleep training experience for the 4-to-6-month window and beyond.

  • Experience working alongside a hands-on daytime primary caregiver.

  • Additional relevant qualifications, such as Neonatal, Norland, Lactation, or equivalent.

  Preferred background

  • Career maternity nurse who values a warm, collaborative household over a directive one.

  • Comfortable travelling with private families through short holiday stays.

  • Comfortable with a possible return engagement for a second baby within the following 18 months.

  Languages

  • Excellent English, spoken and written.

  Practical Information

  • Live-in is not available for this role.

  • The household has a housekeeper present most weekdays.

  • A standard NDA is required.

  • Travel days follow the family’s schedule; travel costs, including accommodation and transport, are covered by the family.

  Application Process

  Apply via the form on this page. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted. If you do not hear from us within 14 days, please consider your application unsuccessful on this occasion.

• Location: Middle East. Specific country and city shared with shortlisted candidates under NDA.
• Contract: Full-time, annual contract renewed every 12 months.
• Accommodation: Fully furnished, private apartment provided.
• Travel: Some international travel with the Principal and family, often at short notice and subject to change.
• Confidentiality: Strictly confidential search. NDA required before further details are disclosed.
• Compensation: Commensurate with senior performance-chef benchmarks for elite private households.

Overview

Oplu is leading the search for a Pro-Performance Chef to join a high-profile private household based in the Middle East. This is a newly created position, sitting within a well established, discreet household team, supporting the Principals' and family's training and nutrition at the highest level.

The Pro-Performance Chef will take full ownership of nutrition delivery across the year for all family members, translating macro and periodised nutrition plans into meals that are precise, high-quality, and consistently excellent, at home and on the road.

Whether your background is as a Performance Chef to a professional athlete, a Private Chef to an elite household, a Sports Nutrition Chef within a national squad or academy programme, or a Personal Chef with formal nutrition training, this is one of the most considered private culinary appointments in the region this year.

The Opportunity

This is not a private chef role with a nutrition badge on it. It is a performance-chef position, structured around the Principals' and family's advanced training schedules and accountable for translating their plans into daily execution on the plate.

The successful candidate will own the daily menu against agreed macronutrient targets, adapt across the full training cycle, and hold standards while travelling at the same level as at home.

The compensation, travel exposure, and profile of the household reflect the seniority of the position. Compensation detail and full terms are shared with shortlisted candidates under NDA.

Who this role suits

This role is best suited to an experienced Pro-Performance Chef, Private Performance Chef, or senior Private Chef with confirmed elite private or high-performance household exposure.

The right candidate is technically excellent in the kitchen, fluent in macro and periodised nutrition, calm when travelling or with changes to plans and schedules, and comfortable operating as part of a wider team rather than as a solo lead.

This is not a personality-driven front-of-house chef role. It is not suited to a private chef who has only done some nutrition on the side.

Key Responsibilities

Daily nutrition delivery

• Design daily menus to meet macronutrient targets, including protein, carbohydrate, and fat, adjusted by training phases.
• Adapt meal plans across the full training cycle.
• Prepare recovery-focused meals supporting muscle repair, glycogen replenishment, inflammation reduction, and sleep quality.
• Maintain accurate daily food and macronutrient records.

Travel

• Travel internationally with the Principal and family, often at short notice.
• Research local sourcing and suppliers in advance of each destination.

Sourcing and supplier management

• Source high-quality proteins, complex carbohydrates, seasonal produce, and functional ingredients.
• Build and manage specialist supplier relationships in the home market and in frequent travel destinations.
• Apply cost discipline without compromising standards.

Requirements

Must-haves

• Working Pattern: Six-day working week. 24/7 availability mindset. Hours are not fixed and follow the Principal's rhythm.

Overview

Oplu is leading the search for a Personal Assistant to a single ultra-high-net-worth Principal. The role sits within the Principal's Single Family Office, reports to the Chief of Administration, and works alongside another PA already in position.

This is a team-based private PA position. The centre of gravity is day-to-day principal-direct support and social coordination. The Principal entertains, but not every night; the Principal travels, but not every week.

The Opportunity

The Single Family Office runs more like a private office than a traditional family office: informal, fast, judgement-led. The administrative team is young, intellectually curious, and prizes clear thinking over hierarchy. The Principal is commercially sharp, direct, and high-trust once trust is earned.

The successful candidate will hold a critical position in the Principal's Miami life. Continuity, clean handovers, and coverage across the PA pair matter as much as individual capability. The compensation reflects the intensity of the role and the six-day rhythm.

Who this role suits

An early-career Personal Assistant with one to three years' principal-direct experience, or a graduate from a top university with strong support-side internships and the drive to step straight into a UHNW position.

The right candidate is intellectually sharp, socially confident, and genuinely fluent in Miami: the restaurants, the wellness scene, the venue and service-provider network that a UHNW principal would actually use. Not the surface-level Miami of a tourist; the working Miami of someone who lives it.

Fluent Spanish is essential. Additional languages welcome.

This role is not for someone who wants a nine-to-five, a fixed calendar, or a role framed primarily as social. Hours follow the Principal, six days a week, with a 24/7 availability mindset and a genuinely commercial motivation on compensation.

Key Responsibilities

Principal-direct personal assistance

• Day-to-day private PA support to the Principal: appointments, reminders, schedules, personal administration.
• Manage the Principal's daily movements and diary in Miami with precision and discretion.
• Handle personal correspondence, follow-ups, and action lists to closure.
• Coordinate personal shopping, sourcing, online orders, deliveries, and returns.
• Ad hoc in-person errands.

Team coverage within the Single Family Office

• Work closely with the other PA and the Chief of Administration to ensure seamless coverage across locations and time zones.
• Maintain clear communication, structured handovers, and consistent follow-through with the wider administrative team.
• Support household payments, tracking, and related administrative coordination where required.

Guest and lifestyle coordination

• Support the Principal's social plans, dinners, and guest arrangements when required, in coordination with the wider team.
• Maintain the Principal's Miami network of restaurants, venues, wellness providers, and trusted contacts.
• Secure reservations, access, and arrangements at short notice.
• Maintain and update guest lists and required documentation.

Travel support

• Coordinate travel when the Principal is on the move: flights, accommodation, transfers, drivers, reservations, on-the-ground logistics.
• Occasional travel with the Principal when the trip specifically requires it. This is not the primary Travelling PA position; extensive travel is not expected.

Household and supplier coordination

• Liaise with drivers, contractors, venues, and trusted third parties.
• Pet care logistics where required (vet appointments, food, medication).
• Coordinate household and service requirements alongside the on-site household team.

Requirements

Must-haves

• One to three years' experience as a Personal Assistant, Lifestyle PA, or Private PA to a UHNW or HNW Principal, within a private household, Single Family Office, or Private Office. Recent graduates from a top-tier university with strong principal-support internships also considered.
• Native or near-native English, written and verbal. Spanish essential.
• Strong current working knowledge of Miami: restaurants, wellness, events, venues, and the service network a UHNW principal actually uses. Not surface-level.
• Strong academic background, ideally from a top-ranked university.
• Sharp judgement, intellectual agility, and the ability to read rooms, people, and situations quickly and correctly.
• Exceptional organisational capacity and attention to detail; holds complex moving parts and does not drop them.
• Calm under pressure. Discreet. Confidential.
• Confident with technology for bookings, payments, tracking systems, shared calendars, and modern messaging channels.
• Commercially motivated. Six-day working week; 24/7 availability mindset; comfortable with hours that follow the Principal's rhythm, including late finishes and weekends.
• US citizen or Green Card holder. No visa sponsorship offered.
• Miami-based or able to commute reliably from broader South Florida.
• Comfortable signing a standard Non-Disclosure Agreement.

Strong advantage

• Prior experience working in a multi-assistant team where coverage, handover, and collaboration matter.
• Familiarity supporting international UHNW principals across cultures.
• Additional languages beyond English and Spanish.
• Comfort working alongside investment-side colleagues in a Single Family Office structure.

Preferred background

• Early-career Personal Assistant from a UHNW private household, Single Family Office, or Private Office in Miami, New York, Los Angeles, or a comparable international city.
• Graduate from a top-ranked university with strong support-side internships and a clear appetite for a UHNW principal-direct seat.

Practical Information

• Live-in: This is a live-out position. Live-in may be considered by exception for the right candidate but is not the default.
• Standard NDA required.
