Business Development Manager
Vision XR Gallery — Belgium
Location: Antwerp & Knokke, Belgium
Employment: Full-time
Reports to: Founder & CEO
About Vision XR Gallery
Vision XR Gallery is a fast-growing contemporary art gallery representing established and emerging international artists.
With galleries and activities across Belgium and an expanding international presence, Vision XR is entering its next phase of growth.
We are looking for a highly commercial Business Development Manager to help us expand our collector base, develop new relationships and create new revenue opportunities.
The Role
This is not a traditional gallery sales position where you wait for clients to walk through the door.
Your role is to create opportunities.
You will actively identify and approach potential collectors, entrepreneurs, companies and strategic partners, build long-term relationships and convert these relationships into business.
You will manage the complete commercial process: from first introduction to appointment, proposal, follow-up and closing.
Your Responsibilities
- Proactively identify and approach new potential collectors and clients.
- Build relationships with entrepreneurs, executives and high-net-worth individuals.
- Generate your own qualified leads and appointments.
- Develop corporate art sales and art leasing opportunities.
- Build referral partnerships with architects, interior designers, private bankers, real estate professionals and other relevant partners.
- Manage opportunities from first contact through negotiation and closing.
- Develop existing clients into long-term and repeat collectors.
- Organise private gallery appointments and client presentations.
- Represent Vision XR at selected events, dinners and networking opportunities.
- Maintain disciplined and consistent follow-up.
- Manage your pipeline accurately within our CRM.
- Work towards clear monthly and quarterly revenue targets.
- Collaborate directly with the Founder & CEO on key accounts and larger opportunities.
Who We Are Looking For
Above all, we are looking for someone who can create business.
You are commercially driven, comfortable approaching new people and capable of building relationships with demanding, successful clients.
Ideally, you have:
- 3–7+ years of experience in business development or high-value sales.
- A proven track record of generating and closing new business.
- Experience selling to entrepreneurs, executives or high-net-worth clients.
- Strong networking and relationship-building abilities.
- Excellent follow-up discipline.
- A professional presence appropriate for a premium environment.
- Fluency in Dutch and English; French is a strong advantage.
- A genuine interest in contemporary art, design and the luxury market.
Previous experience in the art world is not required.
We welcome candidates from sectors such as luxury automotive, premium real estate, private banking, wealth management, watches & jewellery,
luxury hospitality and high-end design.
Who You Are
You are ambitious, proactive, persistent, commercially intelligent and results-driven.
You don't wait for opportunities to arrive.
You create them.
At the same time, you understand that high-end sales is about relationships, credibility and trust — not aggressive selling.
You take ownership of your pipeline and don't need someone reminding you to follow up.
What Success Looks Like
Within your first six months, you will have built a strong pipeline of qualified prospects, established new referral channels and partnerships, created a consistent flow of private client appointments and converted new prospects into Vision XR collectors.
Ultimately, your success will be measured by profitable revenue generated, new clients acquired and long-term relationships created.
What We Offer
- A key commercial role within a rapidly growing contemporary art company.
- Direct collaboration with the Founder & CEO.
- Access to a strong international portfolio of contemporary artists.
- An established gallery platform and high-end client environment.
- Significant autonomy to develop your own network and commercial opportunities.
- Competitive salary.
- Company car / mobility package.
- Opportunities to grow internationally as Vision XR expands.
Interested?
If you are excited by building relationships, creating opportunities and growing a business in the contemporary art and luxury sector, we would like to hear from you.
