Sales Consultant - Luxury Fine Art

Reference: AUG20268418 | Permanent Contract | Full-time or Part-time | Stamford

About the role

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 driven people who enjoy building long-term client relationships, proactively generating business, and achieving outstanding sales results.
