About the job

Your Mission

You will shape and manage the Books auctions by evaluating, selecting, and presenting high-quality lots. Your expertise ensures that listings are accurate, compelling, and aligned with market demand.

By leveraging your knowledge and network, you will help grow the category, onboard relevant sellers, and maintain fair and transparent transactions for users.

Knowledge of French literature books is highly appreciated and will be considered a strong asset.

What You’ll Do

  • Evaluate submitted book lots and determine their suitability for auction
  • Create clear and attractive listings to drive engagement and sales
  • Assess titles, descriptions, and images to ensure quality and accuracy
  • Provide estimated values based on expertise and market knowledge
  • Guide sellers on auction performance, pricing, and optimisation strategies
  • Monitor auction results and extract insights to improve future outcomes
  • Onboard and develop relationships with sellers, expanding the European buyer market

What You’ll Bring

  • Expert knowledge in Books, ideally within the literary or antiquarian domain
  • Broad understanding of publications, with generalist knowledge as a plus
  • Experience trading on platforms such as Catawiki, eBay, 1stDibs, Yahoo, or at book and antiquarian fairs
  • Strong analytical skills, with the ability to interpret auction data and trends
  • Commercial awareness, including pricing, sell-through rates, and cash flow dynamics
  • Excellent communication skills, with a professional and courteous approach
  • Strong research skills and a well-developed network within the books and collectibles market

How We Work

  • Operate with a high level of ownership in managing and improving your auction category
  • Collaborate with sellers to optimise listings and auction performance
  • Use data and insights to continuously refine auction strategies
  • Maintain transparency and fairness in all user interactions

Where You’ll Be

This is a 100% remote role.
