As a Happiness Technician, helping people is your passion, and delighting our clients is your primary responsibility. There are a lot of other responsibilities that go along with this role, but they all support the primary responsibility of delight.

Delivering happiness via managing technology and client relationships is no easy task. Our goal is to build relationships based on trust which result in happy, passionate, loyal customers and colleagues through listening to their needs and guiding them to the fullest use of the products we offer. We need people with the right mix of compassion, communication skills, and the technical knowledge to get the job done.

We’ve found that one of the keys to delighting our clients is top-notch communication. As a member of our helpdesk team, you will be the first point of contact when a client reaches out to us for help. The ability to listen attentively and with compassion, and then respond responsively, comfortably, and with care is the first and most important requirement of this position.

In general, a typical day for a Happiness Technician involves:

  • Helping clients and Newmind teammates
  • Troubleshooting, investigating, and solving problems
  • Crafting and editing helpful support documentation

Being a Happiness Technician requires:

Working at Newmind is like working with family and friends. This is probably because we’ve all become good friends since we started working together, and because some of us have been friends for a long time before we started at Newmind. We have a mandatory 40 hour max work week that reinforces our values of GSD (Get Stuff Done) and Rest and Reflect. We’ve developed a fast, intense work pace and ethic at Newmind that is countered by a core value of Rest and Reflect. If you are curious about what life at Newmind is like, please check out our Facebook page and Blog.
