About Klir

We are hiring to make water better!

For 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. We work with large, complex water utilities across North America, including major cities and regional authorities.

As Klir scales its enterprise customer base, the number and complexity of concurrent implementations is increasing.

We are hiring a Senior IT Project Manager to own the governance, coordination, and successful delivery of a portfolio of enterprise implementations of Klir. This role is critical to ensuring predictable delivery across multiple customers while maintaining strong customer partnerships and high-quality outcomes.

This person will act as the primary conduit between Klir and multiple enterprise customers, working closely with customer-side IT project managers while orchestrating Klir’s internal implementation, data, product, and customer success teams.

Location: This position is hybrid-based in Toronto.

Role Description

The Senior IT Project Manager is accountable for the end-to-end delivery of a portfolio of enterprise Klir implementations, from project initiation through go-live and handover to Customer Success.

You will manage multiple concurrent projects at different stages of delivery, balancing priorities, risks, and stakeholder expectations across customers. You will establish consistent governance while adapting delivery approaches to each customer’s environment.

You are not expected to perform hands-on technical implementation, but you must be highly comfortable with enterprise IT concepts, integrations, and data migration conversations, and able to lead those discussions with confidence.
