The Purser Desk is growing, and we’re looking for an experienced Superyacht Purser to join us on a freelance basis.
The position will initially be part-time, providing remote Purser support for one of our clients, with the requirement expected to grow and the potential to develop into a full-time role.
The work will cover a broad range of Purser responsibilities and shoreside operational support. We’re looking for someone who already understands the demands of the role and can confidently pick up requests, manage priorities and see things through from start to finish.
No two days, or requests, are likely to look quite the same, so you’ll need to be comfortable working independently, finding answers when they aren’t immediately obvious and keeping track of multiple moving parts.
- Previous experience working as a Superyacht Purser
- Strong knowledge across the core Purser functions
- Excellent organisation and attention to detail
- Confident managing multiple priorities and deadlines
- Excellent written and verbal communication
- Comfortable communicating directly and professionally with Owners’ Representatives and other senior stakeholders
- Comfortable working independently and remotely
- Professional, discreet and dependable
- Resourceful and confident taking ownership of requests from start to finish
- Comfortable using the systems and software commonly used within yacht operations
Location: Remote
Contract: Freelance
Hours: Part-time initially, with the potential to develop into a full-time role
Start date: [TBC]
Salary: DOE
This could particularly suit an experienced Purser looking to move shoreside while continuing to use their knowledge and experience within the industry.
Please send your CV along with a short introduction telling us about your Purser experience, your current availability and why this opportunity interests you. Please note, references should be included/contactable.
As this is initially a part-time freelance role, please also include your current location/time zone and approximate availability each week.
Please apply by email - do not DM.
