Senior Product Manager Trust and Support

What you will do

Catawiki is touching extremes in terms of categories as well as object values. We sell objects ranging from the average Art House Poster to Hard to Find Stamps, to Antique Weaponry, to Loose Diamonds and Classic Cars. Whilst the average lot value on Catawiki is modest we do frequently sell objects with a value above €100K, and incidentally sell objects with a value above €500K. This makes the payment challenge at hand very unique. 

Catawiki has very challenging growth ambitions. Not only will this push our Payment setup to the limit, think about global pay-in and and pay-out coverage. Also we are driving our buyer and seller growth, by providing the best possible solutions for many different customers. Including a wide range of sellers, starting with the passionate enthusiasts who sell once in a blue moon to large commercial networks who have objects in auction everyday. 

As we’re rapidly expanding, we’re looking for an experienced Senior Product Manager Payments to strengthen our team of high performing Product Managers, Engineers, Designers and Data Scientists.
