About the Role
As an Account Manager / Business Developer in the Art Supercluster Sales team, your mission is to drive profitable growth by developing and managing a portfolio of high-value art sellers across Belgium and possibly neighboring regions. Beyond managing existing accounts, you’ll play a key role in prospecting and onboarding new sellers: artists, art dealers and galleries.
Working closely with Catawiki’s in-house art experts, you’ll help execute strategies to accelerate revenue growth.
This role combines a results-driven sales mindset with a genuine passion for art, building lasting relationships that foster success for both our sellers and Catawiki.
You’ll report directly to the Sales Manager and collaborate with a dynamic team of art-focused sales professionals and experts.
About the Art Sales Team

What You’ll Do
As an Account Manager / Business Developer, you will:
- Develop medium and long-term strategic growth plans for your sellers, aligned with the Art strategy and KPIs.
- Build and maintain strong, long-term relationships with your sellers through calls, meetings, and attendance at art fairs and events.
- Partner with art experts to source lots for auctions and organize single-seller auctions.
- Educate and challenge sellers to meet KPIs such as reserve price optimization and quality standards.
- Use data insights to design and run seller incentive programs that drive performance.
- Present account progress, insights and results to senior management and peers.
What You’ll Bring
- A Master’s or Bachelor’s degree, ideally in Business, Economics, or Sales.
- You’re fluent in Dutch, French and English, and know how to adapt your message to different audiences.
- A true self-starter: organized, proactive and confident working independently in a remote setup.
- Proven sales experience, with a strong ability to negotiate, build value and make data work for you.
- A genuine passion for art and a solid understanding of the art market ecosystem.
- You’re comfortable with Google Workspace (Sheets, Slides) and use data insights to drive results.
- Experience with CRM tools like HubSpot, or you’re eager to master them quickly.
Why You’ll Love Working with Us
- Create a Visible Impact by working at scale in a global organisation that serves millions of customers across 80+ categories. In our flat structure, every role has a broad scope that directly impacts both our customers and the business.
- Learn and Grow with Us through our Learning & Development initiatives, which include clear development plans and mentorship programmes designed to support your career progression.

We foster an inclusive and queer-friendly work environment, committed to making every Catawikian feel welcomed and empowered. Whatever your story, we encourage you to bring your unique perspective to our team.
- Celebrate Life’s Moments with us at Catawiki. When you join us, you’ll receive a €100 Catavoucher, and on each birthday, you’ll get a €50 Catavoucher to celebrate. Enjoy an extra day off each year to “Pursue Your Passion”. We also recognise significant work anniversaries (3, 5, 8, 10 years) with additional time off, plus extra leave for life’s big moments like marriage, engagements, or moving house.
