Job Description

The Art Marketplace is looking for a part-time Social Media Manager/Coordinator to run our content presence. This is a hands-on role covering the day-to-day of our Instagram – setting the format, posting daily, and staying close to clients and prospective clients through the channel.

We are not looking for a generalist social media hire who happens to like art. We are looking for someone who is already embedded in the art world – who knows which shows matter this month, who has a point of view on the market, and who can turn that fluency into content that reads as informed rather than promotional.

Key Details
Pay: £1,000 per month
Time: Up to 15 hours a week

Job Requirements

What We’re Looking For:

– Genuine immersion in the contemporary art world – you already go to openings, follow gallery programming, and can speak knowledgeably about artists, markets, and institutions
– Strong video shooting and editing skills (comfortable with mobile-first production and editing tools)
– A sharp eye for what makes content feel authentic versus promotional
– Writing ability suited to a plain, confident, non-hype register
– Comfort working independently and managing a production schedule without heavy oversight

Job Responsibilities

What You’ll Do:

– Set the format and direction of our Instagram presence – content mix, cadence, visual approach
– Post daily, with a focus on selling the works we have listed
– Edit founder content and videos on occasion
– Manage day-to-day interactions with clients and prospective clients on the platform – replying to DMs and comments, following up on inquiries
– Develop and pitch content ideas grounded in real market activity – a notable sale, an artist’s institutional trajectory, a trend worth flagging
– Attend gallery openings, fairs, and exhibitions when relevant, and use them as source material for content
– Maintain our editorial calendar and manage the production pipeline from concept to publish
– Track engagement and comp data to inform what content gets made next
– Work within our established brand voice: restrained, factual, peer-to-peer – no superlatives, no urgency, no marketing language
