About this role

At Catawiki, every day brings the extraordinary! Whether it’s Daniel Ricciardo’s Formula 1 Car , a Woolly Mammoth’s Skeleton , Lady Gaga's Jumpsuit or Usain Bolt’s running shoe , we encounter exceptional objects every day. We’re a one-of-a-kind marketplace for buying and selling special objects. Each week, more than 100,000 unique items are auctioned, all carefully curated by our passionate in-house experts. Having sold over 25 million unique objects, our mission is to become the world’s most popular destination for special objects.

As a growing, diverse and sustainable scale-up, we proudly live by three core values. If these values resonate with you, we’d love to explore how you can join us. Taking ownership and driving impact Being open to change and feedback Being passionate about our mission and our customers. About the role Ready to own the numbers behind extraordinary objects? At Catawiki, every day brings something extraordinary. From rare collectibles to iconic memorabilia, millions of special objects pass through our marketplace.

Behind the scenes, our Finance team helps keep everything running smoothly as we continue to grow internationally. We’re looking for a hands-on Senior Financial Accountant to join our Accounting & Reporting team. This role is ideal for someone with strong accounting fundamentals, a proactive mindset and the confidence to independently manage accounting responsibilities in an international and fast-moving environment. While this role is based in Portugal, you will work closely with our Finance team in the Netherlands and collaborate daily with stakeholders across the business.

As Finance is not yet locally represented in Portugal, this is a role for someone who enjoys ownership, works well independently and feels comfortable operating in a highly collaborative remote setup. You won’t just process numbers; you’ll help strengthen the financial backbone behind millions of special objects while contributing to smarter and more scalable Finance processes. What you’ll do You will become a trusted owner of selected accounting areas and help ensure Catawiki’s financial reporting remains accurate, reliable and scalable as the business continues to grow internationally.
