What is a consignment manager?

Consignment Managers are professionals responsible for overseeing the process of selling goods on consignment, where items are sold on behalf of their owners and payment is made only when the goods are sold. They coordinate inventory intake, pricing, display, and sales, and often act as a liaison between consignors (owners) and buyers. Their duties may include evaluating item condition, negotiating consignor agreements, and managing records of sales and payouts. Consignment Managers typically work in retail stores, galleries, or online marketplaces that specialize in consigned goods.
