• Draft design tickets for marketing materials such as signage and digital ads, clearly communicating project needs and timelines.
• Maintain accurate database entry and support client reporting tasks, demonstrating strong attention to detail when working with sensitive information.
• Lead one independent research project focused on areas such as market research, competitive analysis, web or gallery traffic patterns, or vendor evaluation.
• Occasionally assist with digital marketing initiatives, including SEO, email marketing, and paid media campaigns.

What we would like you to have:

• A strong interest in the contemporary art world
• Comfort working with data in tools such as Google Sheets or Notion in a data‑driven environment.
