About Wax Poetics

Since 2001 Wax Poetics has been delivering deep-dive journals covering everything related to record collecting culture. Wax Poetics has now evolved into a premier music collectibles marketplace, connecting artists, collectors, and fans through rare and exclusive items. By bridging music storytelling with unique memorabilia and items, Wax Poetics continues to inspire fans to celebrate and preserve music culture. 

As we grow our operations and launch new collections, we’re looking for a multi-faceted, highly organized and proactive Collection Account Manager to lead the end-to-end delivery of our artist-led auctions and brand projects — from early creative development through to shipping and fulfilment. This is a role at the heart of what we do and requires a ‘Swiss Army Knife’ candidate who is confident across all aspects of delivery.

• Problem-solve issues in real time and keep drops moving forward
