CAREERS

Work With Us

From the beginning, we’ve wanted NorthWinds® to be different from other companies. Different in how we treat our clients, different in how we work with each other, and different in the results we achieve. These differences are best captured in our fundamentals that are the foundation for our unique culture. We call it The NorthWinds Way. Whether you join us from one of our three offices or work remotely, here’s what you can expect when you’re part of the NorthWinds team.

What It’s Like Working at NorthWinds

We Grow Talent

We are lifelong learners. Our leaders are accessible, resourceful, and passionate about sharing best practices. We focus on providing meaningful experiences, education, and exposure so that our team members can grow their careers.

We’re Motivated by Progress

We are relentless about improvement and continually challenge the status quo. We embrace innovation by taking intelligent risks and thinking differently. Team members work in a Scaled Agile (SAFe) environment where we have a bias for action and aren’t afraid to change course when needed.

Tiger Team
We’re Relentless about Improvement- finding ways to get things done better, faster and more efficiently- we call it Tiger Innovation. Gathering the right people in the same room and clearing their calendars allowed this team to successfully deliver a three-month development project in one-week.

We Support Our Team

Encouraging and supporting each other is our norm. We operate on the philosophy that nothing is beneath any of us and that if you see something, you take care of it. We are cheerleaders who regularly extend meaningful acknowledgement and appreciation to team members who are living out The NorthWinds Way.

We Support Our Team
Going beyond our Pitching in Wherever Necessary fundamental to get work done, we are the best cheerleaders for each other when personal challenges come to our employees.

We Engage with One Another

Strong relationships are critical to our success; the best solutions are generated through personal communication, collaboration, and a commitment to blameless problem-solving. We are passionate about excellence, but we have fun too.

We Engage With Each Other
One of our fundamentals is Keep Things Fun which we do in all sorts of ways including all employee events twice a year- engaging with each other face to face is one of our favorites.

We Value Diversity & Inclusion

Everyone deserves a work environment where they feel a sense of inclusion and belonging. Our team represents a variety of backgrounds, skills, and viewpoints. We are better decision makers when we embrace diverse perspectives.

We’re Community Supporters

Every team member has the opportunity to make a difference in their community. We are stewards of the communities we are a part of and do all we can to support and give back to strengthen partnerships.

Making a Difference is such an important fundamental our company gives each employee 20 hours of paid time to support organizations of their choice, including Red Cross, Meals on Wheels, Operation Bootstrap, and the Salvation Army.

“At the end of the day, it’s no surprise why I do what I do. Not everything makes sense, but it’s who I work with that makes it worthwhile!”

Nicole McCue

Senior Project Manager
(Project Management)

“I feel like there are opportunities for growth. NorthWinds is accepting of new ideas and has a goal of working smarter, not harder. I think the benefit package is nice. Everyone that I’ve worked with from HR, help desk, and new team members has been friendly and helpful. I’m pleasantly optimistic to see where and how NorthWinds continues to grow.”
