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

About the role:

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 driven people who enjoy building long-term client relationships, proactively generating business, and achieving outstanding sales results. This is a consultative sales role, not a transactional retail position. If you enjoy developing clients, closing significant sales and being rewarded for your success we'd love to hear from you.

You’ll thrive in this role if you:

• Love working towards and exceeding sales targets.
• Build rapport quickly and influence purchasing decisions naturally.

Our highest-performing Art Consultants typically:

• Start conversations confidently with people they've never met.
• Enjoy being measured on commercial performance and achieving ambitious sales targets.

What you'll do:
