Senior IT Project Manager

About KlirWe are hiring to make water betterFor too long, utilities have had to manage water through fragmented systems, siloed data and workflows held together by institutional memory. As costs rise, teams shrink and operational decisions demand real time clarity, connected data is no longer a nice to have. It is essential.At Klir, our mission is simple: Make Water Better.We believe the future of water is generative, built on connected data, clear workflows and operational continuity. Klir is the Operational Data Hub that unifies sampling, monitoring, permits, backflow and reuse into one connected view of the utility. When data, systems and decisions flow through a single hub, teams gain the confidence, control and time they need to focus on what actually moves water forward.Backed by Insight Partners, Bowery Capital and Spider Capital, Klir is entering a period of rapid growth and expects to double its customer base this year.
