Join ShopMy – Powering the Future of Digital Marketing

ShopMy is transforming e-commerce by building the infrastructure for human-led curation at scale. We help brands run performance-driven creator programs while enabling top creators to monetize their influence and partner directly with the brands they love—driving discovery through trusted tastemakers and authentic recommendations.

If you’re excited to help shape the future of curated commerce at the intersection of technology, culture, and taste, we’d love to meet you.

About the Role

This role will help define and grow ShopMy's art ecosystem by bringing the industry's most influential tastemakers onto the platform. That includes artists, collectors, gallerists, curators, and other voices whose perspective, taste, and communities make them uniquely compelling creators.

Owning the art vertical end to end, this person will identify, recruit, onboard, and cultivate top talent.

  • Identify and source right-fit talent: focused on people whose taste translates into commerce
  • Activate relationships we already have with artists and galleries on the platform and turn them into stronger, more visible participation
  • Develop art-world partnerships and events that drive onboarding and brand relevance, including editorially resonant moments and intimate industry gatherings
  • Partner closely with Marketing, Creator, and Brand teams to feature onboarded talent in a way that feels elevated, editorial, and commercially effective
What Sets You Up for Success
  • 5+ years of experience in partnerships, business development, talent relations, gallery relations, or a related commercial role within the art world or adjacent cultural industries
  • Experience working with galleries, artists, collectors, art fairs, or art/media brands
  • Existing network across the contemporary art world, especially among socially active artists, gallerists, curators, and tastemakers
  • Proven track record of building relationships and turning a niche network into business outcomes
  • Excellent communication and organizational skills with sharp attention to detail
  • Passionate about taste-driven commerce, the creator economy, and the intersection of culture and marketing
  • Comfortable operating in fast-moving, ambiguity-rich environments
Bonus Points
  • Familiarity with tools like Salesforce, Notion, or similar workflow systems
  • Experience working in a startup environment
  • NYC-based is a plus, but not required
