• Experience optimising auction strategy, including reserve pricing, sell-through rate, and cash flow
• Strong analytical skills to monitor performance, identify trends, and guide sellers
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills in a remote environment
• A well-established network of dealers, collectors, curators, or experts within Automobilia communities
• Fluency in English, additional Dutch or German language skills are a plus

Where You’ll Be

This is a 100% remote role that can be based in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain, or the United Kingdom.

• Create a visible impact by working at scale in a global organisation serving millions of customers across 80+ categories. In our flat structure, every role has a broad scope and directly impacts both our customers and the business.
• Learn and grow through our Learning & Development initiatives, including clear development plans and mentorship programmes to support your career progression.
