At Catawiki, every day brings the extraordinary! Whether it's Daniel Ricciardo's Formula 1 Car, a Woolly Mammoth's Skeleton, Lady Gaga's Jumpsuit or Usain Bolt's running shoe, we encounter exceptional objects every day.
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.
- Taking ownership and driving impact
- Being open to change and feedback
- Being passionate about our mission and our customers.
About the role and team
As a Decorative Objects Expert within our Interiors team, you will play a key role in expanding and strengthening our Home Decor category.
This role goes beyond expertise alone, it is equally about driving commercial growth. You combine market knowledge of decorative objects with a sharp commercial mindset, understanding what makes an object desirable, collectible, and auction-worthy, and how to translate that into compelling, high-performing auctions.
Your expertise spans categories such as ceramics, glass, sculptures, interior accessories, and collectible decorative pieces, and you are able to assess both their aesthetic and market value.
Your responsibilities
- Evaluate and curate decorative object submissions from sellers across Europe
- Assess condition, provenance, authenticity, and market relevance
- Create weekly curated auctions that are both editorially strong and commercially successful
- Provide professional and constructive feedback when submissions are not suitable for auction
Growing the category
Beyond curation, you will actively contribute to building and expanding the Decorative Objects category.
You will proactively identify new supply opportunities, emerging trends, and collectible design segments within Home Decor. Working closely with our Sales team, you will help attract high-potential sellers, onboard new supply sources, and strategically grow the decorative objects portfolio.
You understand that sustainable growth comes from the right balance between quality and volume, and you know how to curate auctions that deliver both.
Who you are
- You have a passion for Decorative Objects / Home Decor
- 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
Where you'll be
The role can be based in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, or other European countries with a work from home arrangement.
Why You'll Love Working with Us
- Create a visible impact by working at scale in a global organisation serving millions of customers across 80+ categories. In our flat structure, every role has a broad scope and directly impacts both our customers and the business.
- Learn and grow through our Learning & Development initiatives, including clear development plans and mentorship programmes to support your career progression.
- A culture of connection defines us. We're a passionate, diverse team of 800+ Catawikians representing 60+ nationalities. We foster an inclusive and queer-friendly environment where everyone is encouraged to bring their full self to work.
