Expert Modern and World Coins Expert (Coins & Banknotes)

Kurz zusammengefasst

Catawiki is a unique online marketplace that auctions more than 100,000 exceptional items each week, ranging from sports memorabilia to rare fossils. The company's mission is to become the world's most popular destination for special objects, and it relies on in‑house experts to curate and sell these items. The role advertised is **Expert Modern and World Coins Expert (Coins & Banknotes)**, focused on the precious‑metals segment of the business. The successful candidate will work remotely from any of Catawiki's European hubs and will be a key driver of the coins and bars auctions that sit at the heart of the platform's global market. On a daily basis the expert will own and grow the coins and bars auction portfolio. This includes evaluating, curating and structuring lots, ensuring authenticity and commercial appeal, and managing auction quality, volume and pricing in line with fast‑changing spot prices and premiums. The role requires constant market monitoring, tracking spot rates, demand shifts, geopolitical and macro‑economic drivers, and reacting swiftly to opportunities or risks by adjusting strategies, volumes and seller focus. A commercial, trader‑like mindset is essential: negotiating deals, maximising revenue while protecting buyer trust, and balancing short‑term gains with long‑term category health. Building and activating a strong network of bullion dealers, traders, mints, banks and collectors is also central, as is onboarding high‑quality sellers and scaling existing relationships. Close collaboration with Sales and Marketing will help segment sellers, launch campaigns and promotions, and ensure a seamless buyer experience. Data analysis of auction performance, conversion, pricing and buyer behaviour will be used to continuously optimise submissions, estimated values, timing and volumes. The must‑have qualifications are explicitly listed. Candidates must be experts in modern coins, bullion and precious metals, with deep knowledge of pricing, premiums, liquidity and market mechanics. They need commercial experience buying, selling or trading coins, preferably in fast‑moving or price‑sensitive environments, and must actively follow precious‑metals markets to make rapid, informed decisions. A strong, pre‑existing network of dealers, traders, banks, mints and collectors is required, as is an entrepreneurial, results‑oriented attitude focused on revenue growth and volume. The role also demands data‑driven decision‑making, clear and diplomatic communication, fluency in English, and the ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, international and diverse setting. Nice‑to‑have attributes include a proactive, independent work style that still aligns with organisational goals, and the ability to balance commercial drive with diplomacy when handling stakeholders and disputes. The remote nature of the position offers flexibility while still providing the impact of working at scale in a global organisation that serves millions of customers across more than 80 categories. Catawiki's flat structure gives the expert broad scope and direct influence on both customer experience and business outcomes, complemented by Learning & Development programmes and clear development plans.
