About this role
Working at Catawiki means supporting the operations behind a global marketplace where millions of people buy and sell extraordinary objects. As an Office Management Intern, you'd be hands-on across the full spectrum of facility and office management—ordering supplies, managing inventory, processing shipments, and handling invoices—while also shaping the employee experience through data analysis, event planning, and onboarding support. The role offers genuine exposure to how a corporate office functions and connects different departments, making it well-suited for someone still exploring their career direction within HR, hospitality, or office management.
You'll split your time between practical, operational tasks and more strategic initiatives. On one end, you're maintaining office cleanliness and stock; on the other, you're analyzing attendance patterns, collaborating with L&D on new hire onboarding, and thinking creatively about how to engage Catawiki's remote workforce. You'll also work with external suppliers to manage company events and improve the workplace environment across their Amsterdam office and beyond.
The position requires you to be enrolled in a relevant degree program in the Netherlands and physically present four days a week in their Amsterdam office on Rokin. You'll need strong interpersonal skills, fluency in English, comfort with Google tools, and the physical capability to lift and move objects regularly. If you're motivated to learn the fundamentals of office management in a fast-growing, mission-driven environment with a genuinely diverse team, this internship offers real responsibility and visibility into how different functions of a business work together.
