Assistant Artists’ Rights Administrator, Artists’ Collecting Society

Permanent full-time role based in Notting Hill

The Artists’ Collecting Society (ACS) is a London-based not-for-profit Community Interest Company dedicated to the administration of intellectual property rights on behalf of artists and artists’ estates.

As Assistant Artists Rights Administrator, you will work as part of ACS’s small and dynamic team, based in Notting Hill (currently a hybrid working system), to administer our members’ Artist’s Resale Right (ARR) and copyright, register new members and promote ACS, our services, our member artists and our prizes. You will also represent ACS at events.
The role is suited to an individual with both strong organisational and communication skills. You must be able to juggle a number of administrative tasks in a fast-paced environment, and you will always aim for the highest standards of service.

You must have a sharp attention to detail and have excellent written and verbal skills, necessary to administer data, attract new artists, forge and maintain relationships with galleries and arts institutions. You will also be a highly enthusiastic individual who can generate creative ideas both individually and as part of a team to engage new artists and existing members. In addition, you will need to be proficient with IT and be comfortable managing routine administrative tasks, including working on spreadsheets in Excel, fielding copyright requests and inputting information on a variety of software, including a custom database.

Experience in handling sensitive information with discretion will be valued, as will a consistently professional approach.

We welcome applications from proactive self-starters with passion, tenacity, a commitment to excellence and knowledge of the art world. This role is an excellent opportunity for those seeking to gain administrative experience in art non-profits and an in-depth understanding of the secondary art market.
