What are the responsibilities and job description for the Art Consultant position at Wendover Art Group?
Shape the Art. Influence the Client. Build the Business.
Wendover Art Group is seeking an Art Consultant who understands that great art programs require more than a strong aesthetic eye. They require an understanding of the client, brand, market, budget, and business objective behind the design.
This role is built for a design professional who can move seamlessly between creative strategy, client engagement, and disciplined execution, developing artwork programs for leading design firms, hospitality brands, ownership groups, purchasing firms, retailers, and commercial clients.
You will not simply respond to a design brief. You will help shape the creative direction, challenge the expected, and translate ideas into compelling artwork programs that can be successfully executed at scale.
About Wendover Art Group:
Wendover Art Group is a privately owned, vertically integrated designer and manufacturer of artwork serving residential, commercial, hospitality, healthcare, and multifamily markets. Built on the values of Honor, Excellence, Team, and Smart, Wendover has grown revenue more than 12x since 2005 by setting industry standards for quality, consistency, and execution. Our mission is clear: to build the best art company in the world by delivering superior value to our customers.
Position Description
The Art Consultant is responsible for the end-to-end development of custom and programmatic artwork across Wendover’s core business, national retail partners, and commercial clients. This role blends creative direction, account development, and project execution, with direct responsibility for growing and maintaining key relationships.
Art Consultants operate as trusted advisors, leveraging Wendover’s integrated design and manufacturing platform to deliver artwork programs that align with brand standards, budgets, timelines, and market demands.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop custom and programmatic artwork across Wendover’s core, retail, hospitality, and commercial businesses
- Build and grow relationships with A&D firms, interior designers, hospitality brands, ownership groups, purchasing firms, and national retail partners
- Translate client vision, brand standards, market positioning, and budgets into distinctive, commercially relevant art programs
- Curate artwork through sourcing, graphic manipulation, material selection, and finishing treatments
- Create sophisticated concept presentations, trend boards, artwork specifications, and placement packages
- Present creative direction and recommendations confidently to clients and internal leadership
- Own projects from initial concept through quoting, approvals, production, and delivery
- Partner closely with Sales, Design, Product Development, Manufacturing, and Operations to turn creative concepts into executable solutions
- Understand account and project performance and identify opportunities to expand relationships and grow the business
- Represent Wendover in client presentations, market visits, and industry events
What It Takes to Succeed
Successful Art Consultants pair creative credibility with commercial accountability. Top performers demonstrate:
- A refined design point of view, but you also understand that creativity must translate into execution.
- You can look at a space, brand, or design direction and determine what artwork will elevate it and then work through the details required to make that vision real.
- You are equally comfortable developing a concept, presenting to a sophisticated client, managing competing priorities, and driving the details of a complex project.
- You are curious about the market and constantly developing your perspective on art, interiors, hospitality, retail, materials, color, and emerging design direction.
- Most importantly, you want to do more than execute someone else's ideas. You want to influence the direction, build client relationships, and contribute to the growth of the business.
