Job Description

At Linden Galleries, we don’t just frame art; we preserve memories and elevate environments. We are seeking a Gallery Assistant who is equal parts artist, consultant, and strategist. This is not a "behind the counter" job—it is a dynamic role for a high-level multitasker who can guide a corporate client through a complex design consultation in the morning and manage the inventory and precision assembly of those very pieces in the afternoon.

The ideal candidate possesses the "Goldsmith’s touch" for detail and the "Architect’s mind" for business operations.

Your Impact & Responsibilities

1. Consultative Design & Sales

• The Expert Eye: Use your mastery of color theory and aesthetics to guide clients through custom frame selections, ensuring every piece of art is elevated by its housing.
• Relationship Building: Act as the primary point of contact for individual collectors and corporate accounts, providing professional updates and expert advice.

2. Studio Operations & Bookkeeping

• Financial Stewardship: Manage the "business of art" by creating accurate sales quotes, processing work orders, and maintaining rigorous inventory control.
• Workflow Mastery: Balance competing deadlines and high-priority projects with a focus on efficiency to ensure the gallery meets its promises to every client.

3. Precision Craftsmanship

• The Final Inch: Execute precise measurements, material cutting, and final frame assembly where a single millimeter makes the difference.
• Problem Solving: Proactively identify and resolve technical assembly issues or unexpected project shifts to keep the production line moving.

What You Bring to the Table

• The Hybrid Skillset: You are as comfortable with a calculator and spreadsheet as you are with a color wheel and a miter saw.
• Attention to Detail: You have a "measure twice, cut once" philosophy and take personal pride in the physical quality of your work.
• Physical Resilience: You are comfortable handling large-scale artwork and heavy materials (glass/frames) with care and stamina.
• Communication Prowess: You can translate complex framing concepts into clear, exciting options for clients and provide transparent project updates.
• Adaptability: You thrive in a studio environment where project scopes can shift, requiring quick thinking and a calm, solution-oriented demeanor.

Unlike standard retail roles, a Gallery Assistant at Linden Galleries is a respected partner in our creative process. We offer a workspace where your business acumen is valued as much as your artistic talent. You will have the autonomy to manage projects from initial quote to final hanging, seeing the tangible results of your hard work every day.
