Galerie Boketto is hiring a part-time sales associate for PAD London (13–18 October), plus preparation days beforehand to learn the collection and booth.
The gallery
We're a collectible design and contemporary art gallery with spaces in Paris, Porto, and Warsaw, focused on mid-century, Brazilian, and European post-war design alongside contemporary work. For this role, the art background matters less than the sales instinct.
What we're looking for
We want someone whose sales record comes from design — galleries, showrooms, interiors, high-end retail, design fairs. Someone used to reading a client's taste in seconds, closing on price points in the thousands, and making an unfamiliar object feel essential. The curation and artist stories, we'll teach you during prep. The instinct to sell, you already have.
The role
- Prep: learn the pieces, prices, and positioning before the fair opens
- On the booth: engage collectors and close deals on the spot
- After each interaction: capture the details and pass them to our Paris team, who handle documentation and admin remotely. You sell and communicate; you don't paperwork.
- Commission on what you close, including deals that land after the fair, if you started them
The clients
PAD London draws serious collectors, interior designers, and architects: people who already know what they like. Some will be Boketto regulars; most will be meeting the gallery for the first time on the booth. You're selling to buyers who expect expertise, not a pitch.
Profile
- Proven sales track record in design, furniture, or luxury retail
- Attention to detail and a commitment to material integrity and presentation standards
- Fluent English; French a strong plus
- Comfortable on your feet across a multi-day fair
- Based in or able to work in London for the duration
- Comfort working on-site in a fast-paced event environment, with flexibility to support evening or weekend hours as needed during PAD London
