The posting

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.

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

Your Mission

As a Model Trains Expert, your mission is to bring your specialist model trains expertise to the curation of high-quality, compelling auctions that attract engaged collectors and trusted sellers. Your knowledge of brands, rarity, condition, valuation, and collector expectations is central to ensuring each lot is relevant, accurately assessed, and commercially strong.

By combining deep category expertise with sound commercial judgement, you play a key role in growing the Model Trains category, maintaining transparency, and strengthening trust within the collector community.

What You’ll Do

  • Evaluate and arrange model train lots submitted by users, ensuring each auction features attractive and relevant listings
  • Create compelling weekly lot selections using your expertise and professional network
  • Review titles, descriptions, and images to assess quality and provide accurate estimated values
  • Safeguard transparent and fair transactions through consistent expert evaluation
  • Communicate rejections professionally and diplomatically, maintaining strong seller relationships
  • Collaborate with Sales to attract new sellers and diversify the range and quality of lots
  • Partner with Marketing to increase bidder engagement and visibility for your auctions

What You’ll Bring

  • Expert knowledge in Model Trains
  • Strong commercial acumen and documented commercial experience
  • An eye for trade and value within the collectibles market
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to act diplomatically in user disputes
  • A network of potential sellers and experts within your field
  • Good computer skills and confidence working with digital tools
  • Good command of English, written and spoken

Where You’ll Be

This is a 100% remote role that can be based in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain, or the United Kingdom.

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.
  • Celebrate life’s moments with us. You’ll receive a €100 Catavoucher when you join, a €50 Catavoucher on your birthday, and an extra day off each year to “Pursue Your Passion”. We also offer additional leave for key work anniversaries and important life events. Benefits may vary by location.

Our Offices and Way of Working

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.

Interested?

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
