Responsibilities
Asian & Tribal is one of the most culturally rich and commercially complex categories within Collectables.
It spans Asian Art, Tribal & Ethnographic Art, and related subcategories where heritage, craftsmanship, provenance, and collector trust are critical.
The category attracts a diverse global buyer base ranging from emerging collectors to highly specialised, repeat buyers, and requires strong judgement, commercial sharpness, and leadership to balance growth with quality.
As Category Manager, you treat Asian & Tribal as a high-potential business with depth and long-term upside.
You own the category strategy, drive sustainable growth, and translate data into clear execution.
You lead and develop a team of experts, build strong external networks with sellers and institutions, and ensure a high-quality buyer experience that reinforces trust and repeat engagement.
