## **Who we are**

,, \- at Catawiki, we come across exceptional objects such as these every day. 

Catawiki is the leading online marketplace to buy and sell special objects. We offer over 75,000 special objects in auction every week — each reviewed and selected by one of Catawiki’s hundreds of in-house experts specialised in Art, Design, Jewellery, Fashion, Classic Cars, Collectables and many more.

We've sold 10 million unique items to date and it’s our mission to become the world’s most popular auction destination for special objects.

We’re an innovative, pioneering and **fast-growing scale-up**. If you think you can make a difference to our team, go ahead and apply.

**About the role and team:**

  
We are looking for an experienced Jewellery expert with a specialism in Pre-Owned & Brand Jewellery to support the team of experts in a growing area of Catawiki Jewellery auctions in Japan.

  
## What you’ll do:

* As a Catawiki expert, you will use your specialist knowledge, to be responsible for creating attractive auctions by evaluating and arranging lots submitted by our users. Balanced with your knowledge and experience of the trade, you will review the lot titles, descriptions, pictures, and provide users with an estimated and realistic value based on this information.
* One of our main focuses is to keep user transactions as transparent and fair as possible, and your expertise and experience play a large part in maintaining this standard. We pride ourselves on being a unique, interactive platform so a professional, polite and courteous approach with our sellers is an absolutely essential attribute. Your efforts result in exceptional auctions that bidders will find irresistible. To keep your own auctions attracting bidders, you will be regularly working with our sales department, to recruit and develop new sellers and diversify the selection of lots offered in your auctions. Finally, you’ll also be working together with our marketing department to generate an increase of potential bidder attention at your auction.

**What you'll bring:**

We’re seeking someone who prides themselves on their professionalism with a blend of the following attributes:

* Expert knowledge in your field;
* Gemmology Diploma from one of the schools recognised by the FEEG + GIA.
* 5+ years experience in the Jewellery trade with knowledge in the manufacturing process and quality control;
* Experience in appraising & assessing Pre-owned & Brand Jewellery;
* Good grasp of market prices and good understanding of the various layers needed when curating a lot online;
* Extensive trade knowledge with a network of potential sellers and experts in your field;
* Documented commercial / customer facing experience;
* Excellent communicative skills;
* Good computer skills are essential;
* The diplomatic competence needed to act as a mediator in disputes between users;
* A real team player;
* Fluent English and Japanese language skills.

## **Here’s what we can offer you**

This is your chance to join our mission to fulfil people’s passions, as part of a young and dynamic organisation. You'll be part of an enthusiastic, highly-motivated team of 800+ Catawikians. Additionally, you can expect:

* A challenging role in a diverse, international and fast-growing organisation with over 50 nationalities.
* Regular fun activities both on and offline e.g summer parties, boat rides and regular team events.
* Great secondary benefits including a holiday allowance and a fantastic pension plan paid for by Catawiki.
* Hybrid ways of working between home and office. We offer remote and activity-based working, suited to the team and individual responsibilities
* We care about our teams’ wellbeing and offer a holistic wellbeing programme including our Employee Assistance Programme offering clinical services, single-session therapy, wellness support and more.
* Tailored learning and development opportunities to support your personal and professional growth;
* We want to help you celebrate special occasions in life by:  
   * providing employees with a 100 EURO Catavoucher upon joining and 50 EURO birthday Catavouchers;  
   * Extra days of annual leave for work anniversaries at 3, 5, 8 and 10 years;  
   * Additional leave allowances for important life events such as moving, engagement & marriage;  
   * Each year Catawikians get an additional day’s leave to Pursue their Passion!

Please note that our benefits offering changes depending on which country you are employed in. For our country-specific offering please ask your recruiter. 

## **Our commitment to you** 

Catawiki’s eclectic team represents an international and intergenerational mix of people from different professional and cultural backgrounds. We foster an inclusive and queer-friendly work environment, committed to making every Catawikian feel welcomed and empowered. Whatever your story, we encourage you to bring your unique perspective to the table.

Catawiki stands with Ukraine and encourages people displaced by the current conflict to apply. In addition to the several initiatives we’ve launched, we’re open to ideas on ways we can continue to support the humanitarian effort.

## **Our offices and way of working**

We have sensational offices in Amsterdam, Groningen, Paris and our newest office in Lisbon. Most of our employees are within commutable distance of one of our office locations and enjoy a hybrid work model. This means we expect you to be in the office 2 out of 5 days, roughly 40% of your working time, to collaborate and connect with each other. The exception is of course, if the job description specifically states that the role is 100% remote, as some experts and sales positions are.

Apply directly with an English CV and cover letter by submitting your information at the bottom of this page. By submitting your application you agree to .

_If you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles._
