About the Role

Ard Gallery is looking for a proactive and organized individual to manage the operational and business side of the gallery. This is a client-facing role that sits at the intersection of business development, administration, and customer experience.

You will be responsible for driving the gallery's commercial activities, managing day-to-day operations, and ensuring a seamless experience for every client and visitor — while the gallery's creative work continues independently alongside you.

• Pitch the gallery's offerings to prospective clients and partners
• Negotiate and finalize terms and agreements
• Build and nurture strong relationships with existing and potential clients

Revenue & Administration

• Own end-to-end business operations — from lead generation to payment collection
• Maintain accurate records of bookings, agreements, and transactions
• Prepare and issue invoices and follow up to ensure timely collections

Gallery Operations

• Oversee day-to-day gallery admin and ensure smooth ongoing operations
• Develop a solid understanding of the gallery's business model, offerings, and processes
• Assist with on-ground logistics and guest management during exhibitions and events
• Serve as the primary point of contact for all operational and business-related matters

What We’re Looking For

• Strong communication skills in English and Urdu — written and verbal
• Confident, professional, and personable in client-facing situations
• Well-organized and capable of managing multiple priorities independently
• Comfortable with basic invoicing, record-keeping, and business administration
• Prior experience in operations, sales, or a client-facing role is preferred
• An interest in or appreciation for the arts is a plus
