OUR CULTURE

We’re a small team with big ambitions, both for what we want to achieve and also the environment we’re building. We want to create a company that remains thoughtful as we scale and tries to be genuinely progressive in how we operate. We want people to really own what they do and be given the autonomy and freedom to make mistakes, learn, and create something meaningful. We all work incredibly hard because we care about what Avant Arte is here to do – we’re looking for exceptional people who are proactive, hungry to learn, and want to put their pride in our collective achievements. We know that creating an inclusive environment that promotes and values diversity is critical if we want to build something with impact and meaning.

WHAT WE NEED

Avant Art’s content and marketing has a reputation as among the most innovative and high-quality of any in the art world, and is an extension of the brand's mission to make collecting art more accessible. The Creative and Content Lead plays a central role in the delivery of this, managing a content team of creatives and practitioners in the creation of cut-through content that tells the story of each artwork we release. This role will suit someone excited by the idea of both leading a team and leading by example - providing direction and guidance at times, while remaining hands-on in delivery at others.

• Content creation and direction: Leading a team of Creatives and Writers, overseeing all content creation, with a primary focus on edition launch campaigns. Coming up with and pitching innovative content ideas to both artists and their teams and to institutional partners. Driving our creative storytelling across social channels, particularly Instagram, ensuring consistency and quality in every piece of content we put out.
• Project and team management: Managing the workload of the content team, ensuring work is well distributed and projects correctly resourced. Working closely with the production lead to manage the content production budget.
• Strategic Planning & Improvement: Maintaining a content strategy that underpins the delivery of impactful content with strong ROI. Responding to data on performance to continually improve the efficacy of our content.

The main skills we’re looking for are:

• You will be an inspiring team leader with excellent project management skills.
• You’ll be a strong art director and writer.
• You will have a proven track record for developing content strategies leading teams that deliver outstanding content across multiple content types.
• You will be experienced in working for a digital business where content needs to deliver on a tangible sales agenda without compromising on brand TOV.
• You will be able to inspire people across departments about the potential of what we can achieve with our content.
• You will thrive in a fast-moving environment.

We think you’ll probably have:

• Strong experience working in creative and content for a top culture, tech or fashion brand, publisher, high-growth start-up or agency.
