Role Overview
We are looking for an individual to join our team as an Illustration Agent at an entry level, joining a team of 30 across the UK, the EU, and the US.
Benefits
We offer a comprehensive training package which covers sales training, artist briefing and development, project management, and creative trend awareness. You will be using all of those skills and more as an Advocate Agent! If you have experience in Publishing or sales, we can offer an increased package.
About the Role
This role is fully remote - which means you can work from home, or anywhere, but we are looking for an individual based in the UK. Currently, we have base offices within the UK and US where our teams meet casually.
An Illustration Agent is the middle person between illustrators and clients, so you work with the Advocate artists to develop & create marketable/saleable work, make the connection between artist and client, and ensure everything works out during the project. There is an existing group of clients that you will look after following training, and there is a degree of new business development. In a nutshell, it's a creative sales role.
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.
Salary
The Illustration Agent's starting salary is £28-35K, depending on prior experience, with OTE £45K-£65++ and after training.
Working Conditions
Expect a long and lucrative career at Advocate Art. We have a very high retention rate! The market in kids and decorative publishing is buoyant, and above all the people in it are great. We offer full training in a casual virtual environment. Travel expenses are paid worldwide, New York, Italy, etc. or if you need a face-to-face meetup. We offer a bonus scheme to prove that we reward success and hard work alongside great healthcare plans.
Working hours for this position are Monday – Thursday, 9 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. and Friday 9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., but you have flexibility since you are no longer expected to report to a physical office.
