You will also contribute to the growth of our platform by identifying commercial opportunities, building relationships within the Automobilia community, and helping sellers achieve successful auction outcomes.

What You’ll Do

• Curate high-quality Automobilia auctions by evaluating and selecting lots, particularly car parts, ensuring accurate descriptions, strong photography, and reliable estimated values.
• Maintain high curation standards by reviewing lot titles, descriptions, and images, providing professional advice, and communicating decisions clearly and courteously when items do not meet our requirements.
• Drive commercial performance by applying auction strategies, including reserve pricing and sell-through optimisation, to maximise sales opportunities and support healthy cash flow.
• Analyse auction performance to identify trends, guide sellers, and make informed decisions that improve auction results.
• Build and maintain relationships with dealers, collectors, curators, and other Automobilia specialists to strengthen our network and support platform growth.
• Identify opportunities for improvement by taking a proactive approach, testing new ideas, and refining processes to improve auction quality and commercial outcomes.
• Collaborate across teams to align stakeholders, support sellers and buyers, and represent Catawiki's commercial interests professionally.

What You’ll Bring

• Expert knowledge of Automobilia, with particular expertise in car parts and a strong understanding of the collector market.
• Proven commercial experience, with the ability to identify sales opportunities, engage users, and apply effective auction strategies, including reserve pricing and sell-through optimisation.
• Strong analytical skills, with experience monitoring auction performance, identifying market trends, and using insights to guide sellers and improve results.
• An established industry network of Automobilia dealers, collectors, curators, and specialists.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the professionalism and diplomacy to build relationships, manage negotiations, and resolve disputes.
• A proactive and adaptable approach, with the ability to work effectively under pressure, take initiative, and contribute to process improvements.
• Strong digital literacy and fluency in English, including experience with online sales platforms and the ability to collaborate effectively in a remote team. Dutch or German language skills are an advantage.

How We Work

• Work remotely as a full-time member of the Automobilia team, collaborating with colleagues across locations.
• Take ownership of your auction curation and commercial decisions while contributing to shared team goals.
• Maintain clear and professional communication with sellers, buyers, and internal stakeholders to keep everyone aligned and informed.
• Bring a proactive mindset to your work, exploring new approaches and refining processes to improve auction performance.
