🏢 About Klir

Klir is a pioneering integrated water solution that helps utilities achieve safer, compliant, and ecologically-friendly operations. By combining technology with environmental stewardship, Klir offers a mission-driven workplace where your work directly impacts water quality and sustainability.

About This Role

As the Onboarding Success Manager, you will own the end-to-end onboarding journey for each customer, from kickoff to go-live. This role is pivotal in ensuring customers successfully adopt Klir's platform, driving long-term satisfaction and retention while shaping scalable onboarding processes.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day starts with a standup with the onboarding team to review progress across accounts. You then lead a kickoff call with a new customer, outlining the implementation plan. Midday, you troubleshoot a data migration issue with engineering, then update project timelines. You end the day by reviewing a customer's go-live readiness checklist and preparing for a weekly status meeting.
