The National Gallery Recruiting Sales Coordinator for Events and Venue Hire
Commercial events and museum venue hire
The National Gallery in London is recruiting a Sales Coordinator, also styled Sales Co-ordinator, to support its Commercial Events Team. The position handles enquiries about venue hire and supports event-related sales and business development for the museum. The employer's Arts Jobs listing gives a closing date of Friday 20 November 2026 at 23:59 UK time.
This is a distinct visitor and commercial-events role, separate from the National Gallery's previously advertised digital research, analytics and ticketing product-management positions.
Sales, event coordination and administration
The role supports the team's commercial income targets by managing incoming venue-hire enquiries, qualifying potential bookings and processing enquiries promptly and professionally. The Sales Coordinator also assists with marketing, business development, client communications and professional networking.
The employer expects the postholder to represent the Gallery at relevant trade shows and industry events. A customer-facing background or front-of-house experience is helpful, alongside strong organisation and a proactive approach.
Term, location and salary
The advertisement describes a full-time, one-year fixed-term contract in London, with a flexible hybrid-working arrangement. Arts Jobs lists the vacancy in its £30,000–£40,000 annual salary band; this is an advertised range category, not a confirmed individual contract offer.
Applicants should verify the precise salary, employment benefits, workplace attendance and any necessary work rights using the employer's linked recruitment site.
How to apply before 20 November
The National Gallery asks candidates to apply through its recruitment website, linked as 'Apply now' in the official Arts Jobs announcement. The deadline is 23:59 on Friday 20 November 2026, and interviews are expected in the week beginning Monday 30 November.
Use the gallery recruitment system rather than relying on an unverified external email address. The exact requirements and progress of the vacancy should be confirmed on that portal.
