We’re a one-of-a-kind marketplace for buying and selling special objects. Each week, more than 110,000 unique items are auctioned, all carefully curated by our passionate in-house experts.

Having sold over 25 million unique objects, our mission is to become the world’s most popular destination for special objects. As a growing, diverse and sustainable scale-up, we proudly live by three core values. If these values resonate with you, we’d love to explore how you can join us.

• Being passionate about our mission and our customers. 

About the role

As a Tableware, Ceramics & Glass Expert within the Interiors team, you will play a key role in assessing and curating lots submitted by our users. Drawing on your in-depth knowledge of a variety of brands and regions, such as Meissen, Richard Ginori, Villeroy & Boch, and Baccarat, you will be responsible for building engaging and high-quality auctions on a weekly basis.

At Catawiki, transparency and fairness are central to the user experience, and your expertise is essential in upholding these standards. You have a strong understanding of what appeals to our audience and will use this insight to review lot titles, descriptions, and images, as well as provide accurate value estimates. When submissions do not meet our criteria, you communicate rejections clearly, professionally, and respectfully.

This role extends beyond expertise; it also requires a strong commercial focus, where you will actively contribute to building and expanding the category. You will proactively identify new supply opportunities, emerging trends, and collectible design segments within Home Decor.

In addition, you will collaborate closely with the sales team, proactively analyzing seller segments, supporting the onboarding of high-potential sellers, and identifying upselling opportunities within the existing seller base. Leveraging your network of sellers, buyers, and fellow experts, you contribute directly to the growth and success of the category.

• An enthusiastic expert in tableware/ceramics & glass objects from all over Europe 
• Specialization in these fields will be considered, but be prepared to learn! 
• Commercially driven and growth-oriented
• Comfortable working with sales targets and performance metrics
• You have an interest in developing a network of dealers/buyers
• Analytical and confident in interpreting auction data
• Excited to experiment with AI tools to streamline workflows, improve conversion, and elevate the buyer experience
• Excellent communicator in English
• Comfortable working remotely and independently
