FRONT OF HOUSE MANAGER
ABINGDON
Up to £35,000 + Excellent Benefits + Events + Long-Term Career
The Opportunity:
Are you a Front of House Manager, Reservations Manager, Hotel Manager, Guest Relations Manager or Duty Manager looking to transfer your hospitality experience into a unique client-facing career? We're recruiting for a highly respected specialist business that has become one of the world's leading names in Aviation and Military Fine Art. Working with collectors across the UK and internationally, the company also attends prestigious airshows, exhibitions and military events.
This is not a traditional sales position, and previous sales experience is not required. The company is looking for someone from a hotel or hospitality background who understands exceptional service, builds relationships naturally and can manage the complete client journey.
You'll join a friendly team of 14 people in a stable, long-established business where many employees have built successful careers.
The Role:
- Build relationships with new and existing collectors
- Provide a polished, highly personal client experience
- Understand clients' requirements and recommend suitable artwork
- Manage enquiries and orders from the first conversation through to delivery
- Coordinate worldwide shipping for high-value artwork
- Keep clients updated and provide excellent after-sales service
- Represent the company at prestigious airshows and exhibitions
- Develop relationships with VIP clients, artists and military organisations
- Support gallery events and generate new client relationships
- Maintain accurate customer and order information
- Travel to a small number of UK events each year using company vehicles
