Catawiki
Catawiki is an online auction marketplace that connects buyers with sellers of unique and special objects across more than 500 categories, including art, antiques, collectables, fashion, and jewelry. Founded in 2009 in the Netherlands, the company has grown to serve over 500,000 monthly active buyers and appoints hundreds of in-house experts to curate and validate the auctions, ensuring quality and authenticity. Its platform attracts millions of unique visitors each year and is a leading player in European online auctions.
Catawiki has a significant presence in Spain, where it hires experts who are recognized authorities in their fields to support the local curation of auctions. The company actively recruits internationally for these specialist roles, making it relevant for seasoned professionals looking to apply their expertise in a digital, fast-paced environment and potentially relocated from abroad. While its global headquarters is in Amsterdam, its expert roles in Spain offer an opportunity to work within a multicultural company from a local base, with flexible working arrangements.
