The passion for online marketing, and its application to the beautiful end product, with which thousands of people in several countries find their way to culture every day, makes Peppered an inspiring, professional environment.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <span id="pp_page_instance_2716"></span> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <h2>About us</h2> <p>Peppered is home to the marketing SaaS (software as a service) Platform that empowers venues in the cultural domain to bring their arts or events to the world. We provide cultural organisations with superior web-, mail- and marketing solutions, at a fraction of the costs, by working as a collective.</p> <p>We develop and expand our tools continuously, in which we combine a data-driven approach with input from clients, knowledge institutions, and research agencies. This unique combination of technique and insights - delivered via a SaaS model – delivers a huge contribution to the success of cultural organisations in the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, the UK, and the US.</p> <p>We do not deliver websites, instead, we deliver systems and instruments that allow our User Success team to provide the best possible online marketing tools to our users. This is a one-of-a-kind company with a unique focus on software development, and a place where you can work on technology ranging from web typography and (micro-) animations, to API integrations and multi-media, from CSS all the way to PHP and SQL and dev-ops tooling. </p> <p>Check out sites like <a href="https://hnt.nl/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hnt.nl</a>, <a href="https://theaterrotterdam.nl/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">theaterrotterdam.nl</a>, <a href="https://ccha.be/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ccha.be</a>, and <a href="https://elvespeilet.no/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">elvespeilet.no</a> to get a feeling of our platform and its clients.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <span id="pp_page_instance_2719"></span> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <h2>Team</h2> <p>As an Implementation Expert, you make a significant contribution to the development of our product. Working in the Customer Success team – consisting of 5 Members – you ensure the further development of the system and make new and improved functionality available to our customers in the cultural sector.</p> <p>Together with the Development Team, you will contribute to our continuous quality and performance improvements, ensuring we maintain our lead in the market and the platform is as easy to work with as possible.</p> <p>Having hands-on experience with HTML/SCSS might be particularly useful, as you might be implementing customers’ requirements into the future product using these technologies. Our goals are to be light and nimble in terms of our own development, as well as load times while maintaining excellent SEO scores. This Peppered recipe (namely delivering the maximum number of features with the least amount of code) allows for a fast development and release cycle, almost continuously deploying improvements to over 80 websites with a vastly different look and feel.</p> <p>At Peppered you don't jump from one project to another. In the 23 years that Peppered has existed, we have built a broad and versatile application that organisations such as theatres, orchestras, and concert halls can use to design their online environment professionally.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <span id="pp_page_instance_2722"></span> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <h2>The way we work</h2> <p>Because of our collective approach, every venue profits from the latest developments, as they are being rolled out every 3 weeks for everyone.
