This is a highly client-facing, sales-driven position for an exceptional individual who combines a passion for art, design and luxury with a natural talent for selling and building lasting relationships.
You will be responsible for delivering an outstanding client experience from the moment a customer enters the store, actively developing sales opportunities and turning visitors into loyal TASCHEN clients and collectors. You will represent the TASCHEN brand to an international clientele of collectors, art professionals, interior designers, architects, stylists, tastemakers and high-net-worth individuals.
We are looking for a confident and ambitious sales professional who thrives in a premium environment, understands the expectations of luxury clientele and is motivated by achieving — and exceeding — sales targets.
