We have a Luxury Gallery Sales Manager opportunity at our prestigious Nottingham Gallery. We’re looking for a proactive sales-focused individual, who is passionate about delivering great customer service to achieve and exceed sales targets. You’ll be responsible for inspiring and developing your team to reach and surpass their own targets and follow your lead to succeed! You’ll work on supporting our current loyal client base, as well as proactively building and nurturing new customer relationships for the gallery and the business by selling our exceptional art, by artists including Billy Connolly, Bob Dylan, Ronnie Wood, and Johnny Depp to name a few. There are new releases and gallery events and exhibitions throughout the year, which you’ll champion, to help you strengthen and make the most of these client relationships. If you’re looking for the opportunity to be well rewarded and build long lasting relationships as well as motivate others to do the same, you might just be who we’re looking for.

Who We’re Looking For

• You have a proven track record of driving and achieving sales targets.

• You are highly motivated to achieve against gallery targets.

• You’re confident in your ability to effectively communicate in person and by phone.

• You are confident, highly presentable, and with an understanding of exceptional customer service.

• You have previous 1-2-1 sales experience and can adapt to different client needs.

• You are confident overseeing the implementation and effective use of business development activities, organising promotional events, and generating interest for your gallery.

• You’re confident to support our current loyal client base, as well as proactively building and nurturing new customer relationships for the gallery.

• You can inspire, motivate and lead your small team of Art Consultants to achieve sales targets throughout the year.

• You can operate and maintain a welcoming and presentable gallery.

• If you have driving license, this is desirable (for possible home consultation visits with clients).

• This role also entails moderate physical duties on a daily basis. We need you to be able to handle such tasks whilst working.

What We Can Offer You

• A salary of £31,000 plus excellent uncapped commission and sales bonus structure (£40K OTE)

• Staff discounts and a benefits platform for other retailers

• Access to our Financial and Mental Wellbeing Platform

• Enrolment into our Pension scheme

• 28 days initial holiday allowance, plus 1 additional day for each year of service (to a maximum of 33 days per annum)

Who We Are

Since opening our first gallery over 25 years ago, Castle Fine Art has become the UK’s market leading publisher and retailer of original and limited-edition art. As the industry's leading art retailer, with a network of galleries across the UK, we remain as committed as ever to our motto, ‘Your world, our art’. We are still owner-managed and although we are a national retailer, we work hard to be informal and keep ‘family-feel’ to business. We work with some of the biggest names in art but know we could not be the successful business we have become without the passion, commitment and skill of our team. That is why we invest heavily in our people, offer great opportunities for further training and development as well as a valuable benefits package.

How Many UAV Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a UAV Job?

If you’re aiming for a role in the Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) industry, it can feel like every job advert expects you to know a never-ending list of tools: flight control systems, autopilot frameworks, simulation platforms, sensor suites, communication stacks, mission planning software, GIS tools — and on it goes. With so many names and acronyms, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and assume you must learn every tool under the sun before you’ll be taken seriously by employers. Here’s the honest truth most UAV hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can use the right tools to solve real UAV problems safely, reliably and in context. Tools matter — absolutely — but they always serve a purpose: solving problems, reducing risk, improving performance, or guiding safer operations. So the real question isn’t how many tools you should know — it’s: which tools you should master, in what context, and why. This article breaks down what employers actually expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look credible, confident and job-ready.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in UAV Job Applications (UK Guide)

Whether you’re aiming for roles in UAV design, robotics/controls engineering, autonomy & computer vision, flight test & certification, embedded systems, operations, ground control software, systems integration or regulatory compliance, the way you present yourself in an application can make or break your chances — and that often happens before the hiring manager reads past your first few lines. In the UK UAV/jobs market, recruiters and hiring managers scan applications rapidly. They look for relevant experience, measurable delivery, technical credibility, domain awareness and safety/regulatory understanding — often making a decision within the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down exactly what hiring managers look for first in UAV applications, why those signals matter, and how to structure your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you get noticed — not filtered out.

The Skills Gap in UAV Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) — commonly known as drones — are among the fastest-growing technologies globally. From infrastructure inspection and agriculture to emergency response, surveying, logistics and defence, UAVs are transforming how organisations gather data, deliver services and improve efficiency. In the UK, demand for UAV professionals is increasing rapidly. Yet despite a growing number of graduates with engineering, robotics or aerospace backgrounds, employers continue to report a persistent problem: Many graduates are not ready for real UAV jobs. This is not a reflection of intelligence or academic effort. It is a widening skills gap between what universities teach and what employers actually need in the UAV sector. This article explores that gap in depth — what universities do well, where programmes fall short, why the divide exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the gap to build a successful career in UAVs.
