Open Approach is Growing Again

Who We Are

We are a client-focused, values-driven company that provides comprehensive technical support for organizations of all sizes and types here in New England and beyond. We support a wide variety of technologies for our clients, and prioritize our clients’ needs and best interests over our own sales numbers.  We are an MSP (Managed Services Provider) and deeply care about the success of our clients.

As such, we are not a sales-driven organization. Rather, we let sound and reasonable decision-making drive our bottom line. This translates into long-term relationships with our clients that are rewarding on many levels, not the least of which is a high degree of personal interaction that enhances the enjoyment of our work and our success.

Open Approach is committed to cultivating and preserving a culture of inclusion and connectedness. The collective sum of the individual differences, innovation, knowledge, self-expression, and talent that our employees invest in their work represents our culture.  We welcome the unique contributions that you can bring in terms of education, opinions, culture, ethnicity, race, sex, gender identity and expression, nation of origin, age, languages spoken, veteran’s status, color, religion, disability, sexual orientation and beliefs.

The Ideal Candidate

We are looking for an enthusiastic, empathetic, personable, self-driven individual undeterred by the challenges that come with working in a small but growing tech company. Day to day tasks can vary significantly; in the morning you could be working through alert remediation, documenting standard practices, and complex technical client implementation projects, but by the afternoon you could find yourself architecting DR/SC solutions or troubleshooting storage latency. If you’re enthusiastic about architecting and implementing highly technical solutions, have the people skills to be strategic with our clients, then this could be the fit for you!

A successful candidate for this position will, above all, closely reflect the values that we have built this company upon; honesty, integrity, and an ambition to continually improve every aspect of our work.

If you’re interested, please submit to us your resume, cover letter, and a brief introduction, and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.
