About the role and team

At Catawiki, we believe that everyone has something to contribute. As our Learning & Development Intern, you won’t just be shadowing meetings; you’ll be the engine behind how we welcome and grow our talent. This is your "first real job," where you’ll transition from academic theory to driving actual impact in a fast-paced scale-up. You will be a fully integrated member of the L&D team, working closely with Talent Management to shape the "Catawikian" experience from day one.

What you’ll do

Own the DNA Week Experience: Coordinate the end-to-end onboarding journey, ensuring a seamless and inspiring transition for every new Catawiki hire.
Drive Intern Community & Events: Partner with the Talent Management Intern to build a thriving intern community through dedicated events and networking opportunities.
Own Learning Analytics: Maintain and evolve our L&D dashboards, turning data into insights that help us measure the success of our programs.
Develop Educational Content: Support the creation of learning materials and slide decks that make complex topics easy to digest for our 700+ employees.
Think Critically & Iterate: Use feedback from new hires and stakeholders to constantly refine our onboarding. Identify problems and be part of the solutions.

Who you are

Academic Background: You are currently studying Educational Sciences, Organisational Psychology, Human Resources Management, Instructional Psychology, or a related field and are eager to apply your knowledge to a business setting.
Owner’s Mindset: You treat this internship like a "real job," taking full accountability for your projects and driving them to completion.
Data Literate: You are comfortable with Google Sheets and have an eye for detail when it comes to reporting and dashboards.
Presentation Pro: You know your way around Google Slides and can turn information into a visually compelling narrative.
People-First Communicator: You enjoy connecting with people from diverse backgrounds and nationalities, reflecting our collaborative culture.
Agile Learner: You thrive in a "scale-up" environment, meaning you are open to feedback and quick to pivot when priorities change.

Where You'll Be

The role is based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
We embrace a hybrid way of working, which for this role means a minimum of 2 days per week in the office to connect with the team. Since you will be the heart of our DNA Week, there will be weeks where your physical presence is key to successfully hosting our new hires. We believe in being "in the room" for the moments that matter most!

Why You'll Love Working with Us

Create a Visible Impact by working at scale in a global organisation that serves millions of customers across 80+ categories. In our flat structure, every role has a broad scope that directly impacts both our customers and the business.
Learn and Grow with Us through our Learning & Development initiatives, which include clear development plans and mentorship programmes designed to support your career progression.
A Culture of Connection defines us. We’re a passionate, diverse and collaborative team of 800+ Catawikains and 60+ nationalities, all coming together to build a one-of-a-kind marketplace. We foster an inclusive and queer-friendly work environment, committed to making every Catawikian feel welcomed and empowered. Whatever your story, we encourage you to bring your unique perspective to our team.
Celebrate Life’s Moments with us at Catawiki. When you join us, you’ll receive a €100 Catavoucher, and on each birthday, you'll get a €50 Catavoucher to celebrate. Enjoy an extra day off each year to "Pursue Your Passion". We also recognise significant work anniversaries (3, 5, 8, 10 years) with additional time off, plus extra leave for life’s big moments like marriage, engagements, or moving house.

Please note that benefits can vary by location. For specific information regarding what’s available in your country, please consult your recruiter.
