Junior Commercial Operations Project Manager

Your Mission

Catawiki is on a journey to scale its Commercial organisation to support its mission of connecting passionate enthusiasts with exceptional objects. To further unlock this growth, the company is expanding the function that empowers its Sellers, Sales and Expert teams with the strategy, tools, and insights they need to thrive.

As a Junior Project Manager in Supply Operations, you will help drive the execution of cross-functional initiatives that improve how high-potential sellers are attracted, engaged, and retained. You will work closely with Sales, Category Management, Product, and other operational stakeholders to coordinate priorities, support rollouts, and turn strategic plans into scalable workflows and day-to-day execution.

This role will support a broad range of initiatives across commercial enablement and seller excellence, from product GTMs to operational improvements in the CRM system and curation tooling. It is a hands-on, collaborative, and analytical role, ideal for someone early in their project management career who enjoys bringing structure to complexity, keeping stakeholders aligned, and making sure execution happens smoothly.

What You'll Do

This team sits at the intersection of the commercial organisation (Sales & Experts) and the Product & Tech organisation, designing and delivering programs that unlock commercial growth, operational efficiency, and customer delight across the supply funnel.

Its remit spans:

Sales operations & enablement: driving sales excellence by equipping sales teams and commercial stakeholders with the insights, processes, and tools they need to succeed.

Expert operations: enabling domain experts to scout, assess, and optimise supply through support, tooling, and data, from object intake to auction placement.

Seller excellence: defining what “good” looks like for sellers and shaping behaviour through programs that blend education, accountability, and incentives. The team partners with Product, Marketing, Trust & Safety, and Data Science to deliver initiatives such as seller education, loyalty programs, affiliate supply, and product co-design.

The team is made up of project and program managers, led by a Manager reporting into the VP of Commercial Operations. It operates cross-functionally, building bridges between Commercial and Tech to design scalable, high-impact solutions.
