Asian & Tribal is one of the most culturally rich and commercially complex categories within Collectables. It spans Asian Art, Tribal & Ethnographic Art, and related subcategories where heritage, craftsmanship, provenance, and collector trust are critical. The category attracts a diverse global buyer base ranging from emerging collectors to highly specialised, repeat buyers, and requires strong judgement, commercial sharpness, and leadership to balance growth with quality.
This is an opportunity to lead an established category with real depth, a strong expert team and clear headroom for growth. You will set the commercial direction, turn opportunity into focused execution and build a category that grows in both scale and quality. It is not a role for maintaining the status quo: you will make choices, create momentum and take ownership of the outcomes.
As Category Manager, you own the category strategy and commercial performance. You lead and develop an international team of Experts, build strong external networks with sellers and institutions, and ensure a high-quality buyer experience that reinforces trust and repeat engagement.
This role is based in the Netherlands with a hybrid setup. You are expected to work from the Amsterdam office two days per week to collaborate closely with other Category Managers, Commercial teams, and key stakeholders.
