Job description

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 we offer over 75,000 unique items in auction, carefully curated by our passionate in-house experts.

Having sold over 20 million unique objects to date, we’re on a mission to become the world’s most popular destination for special objects. As a growing, diverse and sustainable scale-up, we proudly live by our core values:

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

If these values resonate with you, we’d love to explore how you can join us on this exciting journey!

What does the role involve?

At Catawiki you have the opportunity to engage and delight our broad variety of customers (Sellers and Buyers) by solving complex challenges and managing disputes and complaints. You make sure that customer queries are addressed and resolved in a correct and timely manner via diverse channels (email, phone, social media). When there is a dispute between a seller and a buyer, you will mediate between the customers and find a solution that works for both.

The customer service department plays an essential role in Catawiki, as our customer service representatives ensure that our customers return to our platform on a regular basis and thereby directly help grow the business. The customer service department is also a crucial link between departments, closely working with Sales and our Experts as well as other departments to improve the overall Customer Experience. Through their close customer contact, CS brings valuable feedback on possibilities for improvements in our services.

This is who you are

You are motivated by providing delight to our customers, you can communicate clearly, and providing excellent customer support is your main goal. You will try your utmost to find fitting solutions to all problems and you do this in a patient and empathetic way. In addition, you are:

Professional speaking and writing skills in German and English; strong communication skills.
Strong analytical and critical thinking skills.
Preferably previous experience in a customer service environment or a customer-related role (hospitality, tourism, retail, call-center, etc.).
Ability to quickly switch between various customer channels like phone and e-mail communications.
Ability to positively interact with your team and other departments.
Available to work 40 hours per week.
You are willing to commute to our Lisbon office and work in the office at least 2 days per week.
You are flexible with working at least 2 weekends a month and on some public holidays.
This role is based in Lisbon, Portugal.

Hear what our current CS Representative say about the role:

"As a CS International Representative at Catawiki, I enjoy being part of a team that strives to provide an excellent level of service to our buyers and sellers. Working with customers that are passionate about their special objects keeps the role engaging and fulfilling. No two cases are the same and we are continually learning and adapting to the fast-paced, exciting environment that working at Catawiki brings. It is valuable to be a part of such a diverse and inclusive company where our voices are valued and heard. We are equipped with the tools and support to thrive as specialists and grow within Catawiki.".

In return

A competitive Annual Gross Base Salary of 18.000€-23.000€ depending on your level, competencies, and overall experience.
Health Insurance from day 1 (including dental coverage), with access to multiple hospitals and clinics and a vast wellness network.
A Work From Home Allowance to help with your monthly household bills.

Please note that benefits can vary by location. For specific information regarding what’s available in your country, please consult your recruiter.

Our Offices and Way of Working

Our vibrant offices in Amsterdam, Paris and Lisbon are designed to inspire and connect. Most Catawikians are within commuting distance of one of our offices and enjoy the flexibility of a hybrid work model. This means we typically ask you to be in the office 2 out of 5 days, roughly 40% of your working time, to collaborate and connect with your colleagues. Of course, if the job description specifies that the role is 100% remote—such as for certain expert or sales positions—then that arrangement will apply.
