The ideal candidate will have 5–10+ years of experience in a similar role within a commercial gallery environment, a deep understanding of the global art world, and a strong track record of generating impactful press coverage.

  • Work on strategic media partnerships for specific projects (internal or external involving gallery artists).
  • Develop and oversee effective communication of the gallery (centralised via London) of upcoming news (institutional acquisitions, internal and external exhibitions), expanding on the outreach via newsletter send-outs and social media (mainly via Artlogic).
  • Oversee updated and proof-read content is released to the public on time.
  • Point of contact for all press enquiries.


Other responsibilities may include:

  • Overseeing the design of promotional materials ahead of exhibitions and events (invitations, brochures) to ensure the identity of the gallery is recognisable and consistent.
  • Hold monthly reviews with relevant staff members (social media campaign, Google and Artlogic analytics), to assess audience growth and engagement and ensure the press & comms strategy is adhered to.
  • Oversee SEO to optimise gallery visibility.
