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’s 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 finally 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 one of the fastest-growing companies in the digital water space. Utilities consistently tell us that Klir has transformed the way they work - and we’re now hiring a Customer Success Manager (Transactional) to manage a portfolio of customers through consistent execution, proactive engagement, and repeatable value delivery.
Location: This position is hybrid-based in Toronto.
