Market overview
Staffing in Miami.
Miami is defined by relocation and international scope. A significant share of our Miami engagements involve family offices that moved from New York or Connecticut in the last five years, hedge and crypto funds that established Miami headquarters, and international principals — from Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East — establishing US private operations. That international character shapes almost every search: multilingual candidates, cross-border travel, and coordination with legal and immigration counsel are routine rather than exceptional. Linear works across Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Star Island, Indian Creek, and Palm Beach.
Who we're serving
Our Miami clients are relocated single-family offices, hedge and crypto fund principals, international UHNW families establishing US bases, and a small but growing set of technology founders relocating from coastal markets. Compound households on Star Island, Indian Creek, and in Palm Beach make up a meaningful share of our estate management work.
Compensation in Miami
What roles typically pay.
- Chief of Staff

- Estate Manager
- $200K–$375K base for multi-residence households. Compound estates with 6+ staff and dedicated security sit at the top.
- Executive Assistant

Figures are market ranges; every search is calibrated to the specific mandate.
Hiring in Miami
How searches actually run here.
Successful Miami searches almost always screen for two attributes early: language capability and comfort operating in a cross-border environment. Households and offices in Miami often coordinate with attorneys, bankers, and family members across three or four countries in a normal week, and candidates without international fluency struggle regardless of technical skill. We calibrate language requirements, travel expectations, and time-zone overlap in the mandate — before sourcing begins — to avoid a shortlist that unravels at reference.
Frequently asked
Miami searches.
- Do you place bilingual and multilingual candidates?
- Yes. A large share of our Miami candidates are bilingual (English/Spanish or English/Portuguese), and we regularly source multilingual candidates for international principals.
- Do you work with recently relocated family offices standing up US operations for the first time?
- Yes. This is one of our most common Miami engagements. We often start with a Chief of Staff or Family Office Administrator hire, then build household leadership around them.

- Yes. Our Miami practice covers Palm Beach, Boca Raton, and the greater South Florida market as a single search geography.
