Advertising & Partnerships Lead
We’re looking for an Advertising & Partnerships Lead to grow strategic partnerships across the global art ecosystem. This role is designed for someone deeply embedded in the art world who can open doors immediately — someone who has and can build trusted relationships with senior decision-makers across galleries, art fairs, museums, and art-adjacent businesses. This is a revenue carrying role with clear performance targets tied to advertising, data product growth, and subscriptions.
This role sits within Artsy and Artnet’s Expansion team which is responsible for growing revenue across both brands—deepening existing partner relationships while developing new opportunities across the art ecosystem. You will be responsible for selling and scaling our advertising offerings to art businesses (incl. galleries, museums, art fairs, and other related businesses), and cross-selling new and existing products across Artsy and Artnet's partner bases. You'll have the opportunity to help re-define the playbook and shape how we position our brands to partners and cultural institutions globally.
What You’ll Do:
- Build and grow partnerships with galleries, museums, art fairs, and art-adjacent businesses across advertising and our portfolio of commercial products.
- Leverage your existing network within the art world to create immediate commercial opportunities and accelerate partnership growth.
- Own the full sales cycle from prospecting and relationship development through negotiation, closing, and renewal.
- Develop strategic, consultative relationships with senior stakeholders across the art ecosystem.
- Identify cross-sell opportunities across our product suite as the business evolves—from advertising and intelligence tools to entirely new offerings in development.
This role is a fit for you if:
- You have 7+ experience in advertising sales, digital media partnerships, or sponsorship sales, ideally within the art, luxury, culture, or lifestyle sectors.
- You bring an established network within the contemporary art world and can immediately engage senior decision-makers across leading galleries, museums, fairs, and related institutions.
- You are highly relationship-oriented but also comfortable operating in a metrics-driven environment with clear pipeline and revenue accountability.
- You understand how brand storytelling, audience engagement, and visual identity contribute to successful advertising partnerships.
- You are entrepreneurial, self-directed, and excited by the opportunity to help build and shape a growing business function.
- You communicate with credibility and confidence across both creative and commercial stakeholders.
- You have experience using Salesforce and sales analytics tools to manage pipeline health and performance reporting.
- You are currently authorized to live and work in the UK. This role will be based in London with 3+ days/week in-office.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This role is unlikely to be a good match if you:
