Senior Fine Art Sales Specialist for Established London Art Gallery (Two Positions Available)

Eames Fine Art is looking for two experienced and enthusiastic Senior Art Sales Specialists to join our team.

The job involves working alongside a great team of people in our two art galleries and a collectors' studio in London SE1. It is essential that the candidate has a strong interest in the Arts alongside experience of working in an active sales position and preferably with sales training.

This is a full-time position.

Mid-week days can be negotiable but weekends are required, as is working at one evening event per week (on average).

Immediate start available.

Basic salary will be dependent on skills and experience but full package will also include commission on sales.

Eames Fine Art is an established, commercial art gallery based in SE1 over three venues. We specialise in original artworks by printmakers from all periods in history, as well as a formidable and exciting group of contemporary printmaking artists. We sell works ranging from £200 - £50,000.

Eames Fine Art is offering an exciting opportunity to be a part of a hard-working and passionate team of people. Specialising in original prints means that we manage a high volume of artworks. We have a fast turn-around in the galleries which means the job is busy and varied, it also means that we must be confident talking about art from a very broad range of styles and periods to different collectors.

We are looking for a talented and impressive individual who has a proven track record of sales success in the luxury goods market. A professional background in art is not essential, although confidence and experience in discussing art is important: the successful candidate should have a passion for and knowledge about fine art, and indeed an interest in the Arts in general.

This role is about generating sales and working towards realistic sales targets to generate new business through a self-motivated approach. We are looking for someone who can build relationships with clients using our existing database and converting new enquiries from gallery walk-ins and online enquiries.

ESSENTIAL SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

• Minimum 3 years' experience in sales in an Arts environment
• Should enjoy engaging with people and thrive in a collaborative team environment
• Pro-active, chasing up leads and closing sales
• Comfortable working with database software
• Excellent communication skills and an enthusiasm to build lasting relationships with clients
• Reliability, punctuality and commitment to the role and the company
• Knowledge or interest in the art Eames Fine Art specialises in

We pride ourselves on the Eames brand being relaxed, personable and making art works accessible to everyone. Our venues are welcoming and comfortable but to be so they must always be beautiful, smart, clean, and above all organised. A professional and friendly attitude and behaviour is always expected from everyone on the team. We look forward to welcoming two new colleagues to our sales team soon.
