TextStore Manager - Full-Time, Keswick, Cumbria

Bring art to life for our customers and lead a team at the heart of Lucy Pittaway Ltd’s growing gallery network.

We’re looking for a motivated and people-focused Store Manager to lead our Keswick Gallery, one of eight across the North of England. This is a fantastic opportunity to run a thriving retail space for an award-winning art business and help customers discover pieces they’ll treasure for years to come.

 Why Join Us

At Lucy Pittaway Ltd, we believe in more than selling art –we create experiences that make people smile. Our business has grown from one gallery in North Yorkshire to eight across Yorkshire, Cumbria and Newcastle, plus a thriving online store. Along the way, we’ve won multiple awards,
including the UK’s Most Popular Published Artist, and expanded into printing, framing, and retail solutions for artists.

You’ll be part of a friendly, ambitious team with a down-to-earth culture where creativity meets commercial drive. Every day is different – from leading your team to hosting events and connecting with customers who share a love for art.

 What You’ll Do

  • Lead and motivate your gallery team to deliver outstanding service and meet sales targets.
  • Inspire customers with expert, friendly consultations on original artwork, prints, and merchandise.
  • Grow your gallery’s success by building a loyal client base and spotting new sales opportunities.
  • Keep the gallery looking its best, ensuring artwork and displays are presented to the highest standard.
  • Support events and initiatives to increase footfall and customer engagement.

Full training on our products and systems will be provided –
We just need your retail expertise, leadership skills, and enthusiasm.

About You

  • A natural people person – friendly, confident, and engaging.
  • Experienced in retail management or leadership, ideally with a track record of driving sales.
  • Comfortable leading from the front, whether chatting with customers or motivating your team.
  • Organised, flexible, and happy to work weekends and occasional evenings for events.
  • Passionate about creating memorable customer experiences – art knowledge is a bonus but not
    essential.

What We Offer

  • Salary: £34,000 + KPI bonus + commission opportunities
  • Staff discounts across artwork and merchandise
  • A role with variety, growth, and real impact within a fast-growing, award-winning company
