This role combines art expertise, market insight, and digital strategy to deliver successful online auctions and strengthen the auction house’s digital presence.

Coordinate photography, editing, and layout of digital catalogues to ensure visual and editorial excellence. Collaborate with marketing and content teams to highlight key lots and thematic narratives. 3. Auction Management Manage the full lifecycle of online auctions—from lot creation and scheduling to sale execution and results reporting. Oversee data input and accuracy on the online platform (titles, dimensions, images, estimates, provenance, etc.). Liaise with operations and logistics teams to ensure smooth pre-sale and post-sale handling. 4. Client Relations & Sales Cultivate and maintain relationships with collectors, advisors, and institutions. Provide tailored advice to buyers and sellers before, during, and after auctions. Support live bidding and online sale monitoring to maximize participation and results. 5. Market Analysis Stay current with developments in the global and regional contemporary art markets.
