The role

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 100,000 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.

What you'll do

We are looking for a highly commercial, market-driven coins and bars expert with deep expertise in precious metals, bullion coins, and bars. This is a fast-moving, high-responsibility role at the heart of a global market where prices, demand, and risks shift daily.

You will be active in the coins and bars segment, constantly reading the market, reacting quickly to opportunities and risks, and maximizing performance. This role goes far beyond curation: it requires planning, trading mindset, pricing abilities and discipline, strong networks, and close collaboration with Sales and Marketing to drive sustainable growth.

How you'll work

This is a 100% remote role based in one of our established hubs in Europe.

Our vibrant offices in Amsterdam and Lisbon are designed to inspire collaboration. Most Catawikians operate in a hybrid setup, combining office-based and remote work, with a minimum of two days per week in the office, unless a role is explicitly stated as fully remote or fully office-based.

Your Mission

  • Taking ownership and driving impact
  • Being open to change and feedback
  • Being passionate about our mission and our customers.

Own and grow bars and coins auctions

  • Evaluate, curate, and structure lots and auctions, ensuring authenticity, strong commercial appeal, competitiveness.
  • Actively manage auction quality, volumes, and pricing in line with fast-changing precious metals markets.
  • Closely monitor spot prices, premiums, demand shifts, geopolitical and macro-economic drivers.
  • React quickly to opportunities and risks, adjusting auction strategies, volumes, and seller focus accordingly.
  • Think and act like a trader: negotiate and maximize revenue while protecting buyer trust and platform integrity.
  • Contribute to balancing short-term opportunities with long-term category health.
  • Leverage and expand your network of bullion dealers, traders, mints, banks, and collectors.
  • Proactively onboard new high-quality sellers and scale existing ones, ensuring reliable supply and competitive offerings.
  • Work closely with Sales to segment sellers, onboard high-potential leads, and scale top performers and make sure we are delivering excellence to our customers through working with sellers.
  • Collaborate with Marketing to plan campaigns, promotions, and content that respond to market momentum and buyer demand.
  • Analyze auction performance, conversion, pricing, and buyer behavior.
  • Use insights to continuously optimize submissions, estimated values, auction timing, and volumes.

This is a role for someone who is commercially sharp, decisive, and comfortable with responsibility, operating in a category where speed, trust, and expertise are critical.

What You'll Bring

  • You are an expert in modern coins, bullion, bullion coins, and precious metals, with strong knowledge of pricing, premiums, liquidity, and market mechanics.
  • You have commercial experience in buying, selling, or trading coins, ideally in fast-moving or price-sensitive environments.
  • You actively follow precious metals markets and are used to making quick, informed decisions.
  • You are highly results-oriented, motivated by revenue growth, volume, and performance.
  • You bring a strong network of dealers, traders, banks, mints, and collectors, and know how to activate it.
  • You are entrepreneurial, proactive, and comfortable owning outcomes while working within organizational frameworks.
  • You are confident collaborating with stakeholders to drive growth.
  • You are data-driven and use insights to guide pricing, planning, and optimization.
  • You communicate clearly and diplomatically, fluent in English.
  • You thrive in a fast-paced, international, and diverse environment.

How We Work

  • We work proactively and independently while aligning with organisational goals
  • We collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including Sales and Marketing
  • We operate in a fast-paced, diverse environment with ambitious commercial targets
  • We balance commercial drive with diplomacy when managing stakeholders and disputes
