Sales Manager - Luxury Fine Art

St. Albans | Full-time - Maternity Cover | OTE £60,000+ | Uncapped Commission + Management Bonus

For ambitious sales professionals, your earning potential is determined by your performance, not a capped commission or bonus scheme.

At Clarendon Fine Art, we don't just sell artwork, we create exceptional experiences and help clients discover pieces they'll treasure for a lifetime.

As the largest gallery group across the UK, US and at Sea, we're looking for ambitious, commercially minded leaders who enjoy developing high-performing sales teams, building exceptional client relationships and driving outstanding commercial results.

This is a commercial management role, not simply a retail management position. If you're motivated by coaching others, growing a successful business and delivering exceptional client experiences, we'd love to hear from you.

You'll thrive in this role if you:

• Love driving commercial performance and exceeding ambitious targets.
• Enjoy coaching others to achieve more than they thought possible.
• Enjoy a hands-on approach to driving both performance and sales.
• Build strong client relationships whilst developing your team.
• Are proactive, resilient and commercially curious.
• Take ownership for the performance of your gallery.
