What we're looking for:

• Business development experience and skills
• Proven experience in e-commerce or social media marketing
• A track record of taking responsibility for meeting sales/ revenue targets
• Ambition and drive, with a history of meeting personal sales goals
• A welcoming, confident, and outgoing personality
• Ideally an intuitive understanding of whether an artwork has a wide potential market
• A strong passion for art is a plus but not essential

What we'll offer you:

• A competitive base salary with uncapped commission potential including a lucrative commission structure
• Being part of a team with a dedication to the mission and excellence in social commerce
• Career growth; we are widely recognised as the leading innovator in our field
• Comprehensive ongoing training from our industry-leading social commerce team
• Remote working with flexible working hours where appropriate to accommodate the dynamic nature of online sales events, including weekends and occasional evenings. A significant proportion of our clients are US based so evening meetings will be required
