  • Proven experience in the art world – whether in galleries, museums, or auction houses.
  • Proficiency in MS Office 365 and a readiness to learn new database systems.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
  • Impeccable client service and the ability to work effectively with diverse stakeholders.
  • Strong organisational skills with the ability to multi-task, prioritise, and meet deadlines under pressure.

Why Join Us?

At Lawsons, you will be part of a collaborative, knowledgeable team who share a passion for fine art and a commitment to excellence. You'll enjoy:

  • Working with a wide variety of artworks spanning centuries and styles.
  • A vibrant, fast-paced environment where no two days are the same.
  • Opportunities for professional growth in the art and auction industry.
