About the employer

CatawikiPosted on the employer’s careers page · job-boards.greenhouse.ioRecognised sponsor (NL) — employer-level; what this means

Working in Netherlands

Possible country route: Highly Skilled Migrant / EU Blue Card. The highly skilled migrant route normally requires an IND recognised employer and the applicable salary requirement. A residence card in another EU state does not automatically grant Dutch work permission.

IND decision period: up to 90 days, with shorter procedures in some cases. Employer preparation and legalisation take additional time.

What to check before applying
  1. Verify the sponsor. Check the IND recognised-sponsor register and confirm who submits the application.
  2. Confirm the salary category. Ask the employer which current income requirement applies.
  3. Prepare entry and residence documents. The need for an MVV depends on nationality and circumstances; check IND.

Description (EN)

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. 

About the role

Like discovering new things and talking to people? Help us connect great art with the people who love it.
At Catawiki, we bring special objects to people who appreciate them. Our Post-War Art & Prints team helps artworks find new owners through weekly online auctions across Europe.
We’re looking for an enthusiastic intern to support our team with the commercial side of the category. You’ll help us discover potential sellers, learn what makes their work special and explore ways to bring more artworks to auction.

  • Communicate in a friendly and confident way, with an interest in learning about seller relationships
  • Take an organised approach to research, follow-up and supporting team activities
  • Use everyday digital tools, including spreadsheets and online research
  • Speak fluent English, with other languages considered a plus
  • Stay registered as a student at a Dutch university for the entire internship period and be able to provide a tri-party agreement
  • Bring curiosity, energy and a willingness to learn, with no prior background in art, sales or auctions required

How We Work

  • Contribute within an enthusiastic, international team with colleagues from more than 50 nationalities
  • Take initiative and experiment with new ideas in an entrepreneurial environment
