About the role

You’ll join a passionate, category-specific team of experts who curate exceptional auctions for Catawiki’s growing global community of collectors and enthusiasts. You’ll play a vital role in ensuring the quality and authenticity of every auction, helping connect unique sellers with eager buyers.

This role is ideal for someone eager to develop deep category expertise, build commercial acumen, and make a tangible impact in a dynamic, customer-focused environment. You will collaborate across departments such as Sales and Customer Experience, contributing to an outstanding buyer and seller journey.
