Art Collection Manager
As an art collections manager, you’ll likely work with valuable art collections for private clients. You’ll need to know how to take care of valuable pieces, how to maintain them and how to be responsible and trustworthy. Working as an art collections manager will require excellent knowledge of art and the art market, while likely liaising with clients as well.
Art collections managers can work for private clients, looking after their own collections, or for an art house or museum, where you’ll interact with visitors, possible buyers, and more. You may even need to be involved in purchasing new art pieces, which is why an in-depth understanding and interest in art is often required.

Some of your duties as an art collections manager may include:

Working hours will depend on your employer, but this can be a part- or full-time position. If you work for an art gallery or a museum, you may have a more full-time, permanent role.
