• Office Manager / Administrator

  • Sep 2015 - Mar 2016

  As Office Manager/Administrator in a small and fast-paced auction house, I had a diverse range of responsibilities. My role ranged from the day-to-day running of the Sydney office through to project management of offsite and single-owner sales. Organisation, problem solving and communication are the key skills I developed in this role. I successfully managed staffing and sale budgets, created logistical plans for the set up of offsite sales and managed sound working relationships with stakeholders both within and outside of the business. Regular tasks included the upkeep of client and inventory systems, client enquiries, organising shipping, payment of invoices and managing the Sydney budgets, coordinating valuations and negotiating contracts. During the sale period, I was responsible for managing interest lists, condition report requests, registering bids and coordinating shippers and couriers. On the sale day, I was responsible for the smooth running of the auction which required me to be flexible, be able to think on my feet and make decisions independently.

• 19th Century European Paintings - Department Assistant

  • Jan 2010 - May 2012

  In my role as Department Assistant in the European Paintings Department, Sotheby’s London I learnt the importance of being organised and flexible when working in a fast paced environment. I was the personal assistant to the department head which required organising travel, international VISA’s, scheduling diary appointments and coordinating departmental meetings (developing agendas, taking and distributing minutes and following up with action points). I was the department assistant for five specialists, a cataloguer and an administrator which required me to prioritise and manage competing interests and deadlines. I coordinated marketing for the department as well as editing content prior to printing, updating and approving all client mailing lists for marketing distribution and sale catalogues. I was the liaison for the catalogue production, press and bids departments which required me to have a good overall understanding of the business as well as develop strong working relationships. An area of interest for me was client development and targeting, I was responsible for the coordination, organisation and planning of client events for the department, the most successful being a breakfast and private view for clients at the National Gallery, London.
