Account Manager

Account Manager (Chicago)

We're looking for our next Account Manager in Chicago.

If you've built strong relationships in hospitality, interior design, or A&D community, keep reading.

If you're the person clients call because they trust your expertise—not because you're the cheapest—you'll likely be a great fit.

If you enjoy opening doors, developing long-term partnerships, and helping bring incredible projects to life, we'd love to meet you.

We're looking for someone who understands the hospitality design industry and has an established network throughout Chicago and the surrounding market.

This opportunity is flexible:

• An experienced full-time Account Manager looking for their next chapter.

• An established multi-line representative looking to add a complementary, non-competing luxury art line to an existing portfolio.

At Kevin Barry Art Advisory, we partner with some of the world's leading hospitality brands, designers, ownership groups, and developers to create thoughtful, impactful art programs that elevate the guest experience.

We're not just selling artwork—we're helping shape spaces people remember.

If this sounds like you—or someone you know—let's connect!
