You will work directly with the leadership team to open strategic conversations, build referral partnerships, identify pilot opportunities and help shape our US growth strategy.
Fine Art Restoration Company is a specialist conservation and restoration business working with fine art, antiques, collectibles and high-value specialist contents.
In the UK, we have built a trusted reputation with insurers, adjusters, private clients and professional partners who require expert support when important or sentimentally significant items are damaged.

We are now bringing that specialist capability to the United States through our studio in Marina, California. Our aim is to become a trusted partner to insurers, restoration contractors, adjusters and specialist claims professionals who need access to fine art and specialist contents expertise.
Fine art and specialist contents are often among the most sensitive, valuable and complex elements of an insurance claim.
When artwork, antiques, collectibles, family heirlooms or other specialist items are damaged by fire, water, smoke, impact, mould, accidental damage or catastrophic events, insurers and restoration partners need access to trusted expert support.
Fine Art Restoration Company brings specialist conservation knowledge, claims experience and a clear service proposition to this market.
Your role will be to help us connect that expertise with the right partners across the United States.
This is a rare opportunity to help shape a specialist business from the ground up in a major market.
In the first 90 days, you will help map the priority partner landscape, identify the highest-value targets and begin opening senior conversations.
Within six months, you will have helped establish a credible pipeline of partnership opportunities, pilot relationships and qualified referral channels.
Within twelve months, you will have contributed to building a repeatable US partnership model for fine art and specialist contents claims.
We are open-minded about the exact background of the right person.
You may have worked in insurance claims, restoration, specialist contents, business development, account management, loss adjusting, private client insurance, broker relationships or a connected field.
You are likely to be a strong fit if you have:
Fine art conservation experience is not essential.
Experience with high-value contents, complex claims, restoration, private client insurance or specialist property claims would be highly valuable.
We are open to the right structure for the right person, including:
The role can be remote from anywhere in the United States, with travel required for meetings, conferences, events and partner visits.
Compensation will depend on experience, network strength and working structure.
For a full-time role, we expect to offer a competitive salary, performance-related incentives and appropriate benefits.
For a consultancy or fractional arrangement, we are open to a monthly retainer with success-based incentives linked to qualified introductions, pilot partnerships and revenue-generating opportunities.
Final compensation structure will be discussed transparently with suitable candidates.
