About Montana Jenkins
Montana Jenkins is a specialist platform-management business supporting galleries and art dealers with their online presence. We create, improve and manage artwork listings across platforms including Artsy, Artnet, 1stDibs and gallery websites.
We are looking for someone with a genuine understanding of both art and business to help grow the company and gradually assume responsibility for client relationships and day-to-day operations.
The opportunity
This is an entrepreneurial position for someone who wants meaningful responsibility and the opportunity to help build a growing art-market business.
This is initially a flexible, remote and self-employed commission-based position. There is no fixed salary or guaranteed number of hours at the beginning. Earnings are uncapped and will be based on an agreed percentage of revenue actually received from the clients you introduce, with additional earning opportunities for accounts you personally manage.
The intention is for the position to develop into a permanent paid management role as the company and client base grow.
What you will do
- Research and identify suitable galleries, dealers and art businesses.
- Approach prospective clients and explain how Montana Jenkins can improve and manage their presence across online platforms.
- Build lasting relationships with galleries and understand their individual requirements.
- Help onboard new clients and gradually take responsibility for managing selected accounts.
- Coordinate with our international production team and check that work meets the required standard.
- Contribute ideas for improving our services, processes and overall growth strategy.
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.
Who we are looking for
- A strong interest in and understanding of the art market.
- Commercial awareness and the confidence to communicate with gallery owners and decision-makers.
- An entrepreneurial outlook and comfort with performance-based earnings.
- Excellent written and spoken English.
- Strong organisation, attention to detail and personal initiative.
- The ability to work independently and manage your own time.
Experience with galleries, auction houses, Artsy, Artnet, 1stDibs, Artlogic or online sales would be helpful, but extensive previous experience is not required. Applicants from any career stage are welcome; attitude, judgement and commercial potential matter more than a particular background.
What we offer
- Uncapped commission and the opportunity to build recurring earnings.
- Additional income for client accounts you personally manage.
- Direct training in specialist art-market platforms and gallery operations.
- Genuine influence over the future direction of the company.

Qualifications
- Genuine knowledge of, or a strong and demonstrable interest in, the commercial art market.
- A commercial and entrepreneurial mindset, with the confidence to identify opportunities and turn conversations into working relationships.
- Comfortable conducting outreach, following up consistently and dealing positively with rejection.
- Excellent written and verbal communication, including the confidence to speak professionally with gallery owners, dealers and other decision-makers.
- Strong organisation, attention to detail and the ability to manage prospects and client work independently.
- Comfortable with a flexible, performance-based position where earnings are initially generated through commission.
- Able to learn new platforms, systems and AI-supported workflows quickly.
- Available for occasional calls and meetings during UK business hours.
Previous experience in gallery sales, business development, account management, auction houses or online art platforms would be beneficial but is not essential. Knowledge of Artsy, Artnet, 1stDibs or Artlogic would also be an advantage.
A relevant background in art history, art business, arts management, marketing or business may be helpful, but commercial instinct, initiative and willingness to learn are more important than a particular qualification.
