• Contracts & Artist Files: Keep agreements, consignment forms, and artist dossiers neatly organized and easy to access; track renewal or signature deadlines.
• Artist & Patron Coordination: Maintain contact sheets, schedule studio visits or check‑ins, and ensure relationship notes are up‑to‑date in our CRM/Sheets.
• Light Social Media Support: Respond to Instagram DMs and comments, queue story posts, and assist with basic Canva edits or caption proofreading.
• Event Assistance: Pitch in on guest‑list management, run‑of‑show docs, and on‑site hospitality for intimate dinners, previews, and openings.
• Research & Special Projects: Compile quick briefs on venues, patrons, or cultural trends, and jump into ad‑hoc tasks that keep The Salon moving forward.

• Exceptional verbal & written communication; natural proofreader.
