The Studio
BREAKFAST is a world-renowned fine art studio known for conceiving and producing the most technologically advanced art sculptures ever created. Our pieces have been acquired by many high-profile private and corporate collectors in the world including Harvard University, Rockefeller Center, Tiffany & Co, and more.
The Position
BREAKFAST is seeking a Technical Account Manager to own client relationships and to manage small and midsize custom projects. You will be responsible for managing the delivery of our kinetic artwork and ensure a white-glove customer experience. A high degree of comfort working cross-functionally is essential. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable working with the production team to develop a deep understanding of how our pieces are created, the engineering team to understand how our pieces are designed and the finance team to build and track budgets.
Every step of the way, you will have the opportunity to make meaningful and visible improvements to our internal processes.
The Technical Account Manager will own client relationships for all of the Flip-Disc Editions that we place with private collectors (directly and through art fairs). You will own the client onboarding process - ensuring that the client understands and can execute everything necessary to optimize the artwork. This includes helping them prepare for and manage the installation process and calibrating the piece for their specific location. You will provide on-going support to our clients to ensure optimal functionality of the art.
The Technical Account Manager will also manage small and midsize custom projects. Starting when the piece is first conceived, you will work closely with the production manager and engineering team to develop a detailed project plan and budget. You will be responsible for working with our production team and the client to ensure the seamless end-to-end execution of the plan, including on-site installation.
For pieces that are already installed, you will manage their ongoing support. This includes conducting remote and on-site service calls, working with the engineering team when necessary.
This role will report to the Managing Director/co-founder.
