Job description

Wordpress Development Specialist in Rotterdam (36 hours/week)

Join Europe's fastest growing digital marketing agency in life sciences

Lead WordPress Development Specialist at Sciential BV in Rotterdam

Sciential is a digital marketing agency exclusively serving the life sciences sector. We combine deep industry knowledge with creative digital strategies to help biotech, pharma, and medtech companies reach their commercial goals. From our HQ in Rotterdam, we've worked with 100+ clients across Europe and Asia. Since our start in 2020, we've grown to a team of 30+ experts, and we're looking for a new Wordpress Development Specialist to join our journey.

Are you our new WordPress Development Specialist?

At Sciential, we help leading biotech, medtech, and pharma companies grow through digital marketing. A key part of our work is building and optimizing websites that communicate complex science in a clear and engaging way. That's where you come in. We're looking for a Web Development Specialist to help us design, develop, and maintain websites for our clients. This is an ideal role for someone with strong technical skills, a creative mindset, and an interest in working in the life sciences industry.

What does a typical day look like at Sciential?

It's Monday morning at our Rotterdam office. After a quick coffee, you start by reviewing a client's website performance and making small improvements to optimize loading speed. Next, you join a call with the design team to discuss a new biotech website concept and translate mockups into a responsive layout. Around lunch, you join your colleagues on the rooftop terrace before finalizing a landing page for an upcoming pharma campaign. In the afternoon, you troubleshoot a WordPress plugin issue, add a new feature for a client's site, and end the day with a short brainstorm on how to improve website security across projects. Some days are more about coding, others about design or problem-solving, but every day you contribute to building world-class digital experiences for life sciences companies.

What you will bring to the table:

• 2+ years in experience in WordPress development
• Experience with responsive design and modern frameworks
• Eye for detail, creativity, and technical precision
• Interest in life sciences is a strong advantage
• Ability to translate designs into functional websites
• Fluent in English (Dutch is a plus)
• Proactive, structured, and a real team player

What we offer:

• Salary range: €3,000 - €3,500 gross per month
• 8% holiday allowance + 8% monthly pension allowance
• 36-hour workweek (every other Friday off)
• Four weeks per year remote working from abroad
• Hands-on growth paths toward lead or consultancy roles
• Performance reviews every 6 months with potential 2-10% raises
• Google-style office next to Rotterdam Central Station
• Free yoga, gym access, and a rooftop hangout
• Team events, weekly drinks, and a supportive culture of care, ambition, and teamwork

We serve all companies within the life sciences ecosystem. Whether your company operates in the biotechnology, medical technology, pharmaceutical or clinical sector, we have a solid understanding of your product(s) and target market.
