## Description

At Catawiki, you're part of a unique marketplace for extraordinary objects. As Category Manager for Asian & Tribal Arts, you'll build and own the category's end-to-end supply and demand strategy, growing high-quality supply and shaping the buyer and auction proposition.

**About the role** Asian & Tribal Art is one of Catawiki's most distinctive and commercially complex categories. As Category Manager, you'll directly lead an international expert team and focus on building long-term relationships with high-quality sellers and serious buyers.

**What you'll do**

- Build and own the end-to-end marketplace strategy, growing high-quality supply and creating demand from serious buyers and collectors

- Own the category P&L and use data to make clear decisions on supply, demand, pricing, reserve-price strategy and performance

- Shape auction and demand planning around seasonality, collector behaviour, market movements and seller portfolios

- Build long-term relationships with high-quality sellers and serious buyers, working closely with Sales and Business Development

- Directly manage, coach and develop the expert team, including performance, talent development and succession planning

- Work cross-functionally with Marketing, Operations, Product and Commercial teams to unlock growth and improve the buyer experience

**What you'll bring**

- Marketplace, e-commerce, category or commercial leadership experience in a similarly complex business

- A track record of owning growth, budgets or P&L outcomes and turning plans into results

- A data-driven, action-oriented approach and the confidence to make decisions quickly

- Proven direct people-management experience, including coaching, performance management, talent development and succession planning

- Strong influencing and communication skills across teams, stakeholders, sellers and buyers

- Entrepreneurial energy, resilience and a hands-on approach in a fast-moving environment

**What success looks like**

- A clear end-to-end marketplace strategy is in motion, with priorities, owners and measurable outcomes

- A strong pipeline of not only high-quality, repeat sellers and buyers but also spotting new supply opportunities and how to reach a young collector audience

- More consistent auction quality, commercial discipline and buyer experience

- An engaged, motivated and self-sufficient expert team with a growth mindset, personal development ambitions and commercial mindset

**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

- 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, fostering an inclusive and queer-friendly environment
