Who We Are

At Clearly Filtered, we exist to build people up. We’re on a mission to help people protect their health, starting with the water they drink. We create high-performance water filtration products backed by science and transparency, and we hold ourselves to a simple standard: every person who finds us should be better off for it.

We’re a growing direct-to-consumer company with a team that cares deeply about our employees, our customers, our products, and doing great work together.

 

About the Role

We’re looking for an IT Manager who is equally at home fixing a laptop and building a security awareness training program. This is a hands-on, boots-on-the-ground role and the primary IT resource for everyone at Clearly Filtered. You’ll own end-user support, device and systems management, IT security and compliance, and employee training, and you’ll work closely with our Data & Technology team on anything that requires deeper technical architecture. The right person is organized, responsive, and self-directed. You receive high-level direction and figure out the rest yourself!

IT Security & Compliance

• Develop, maintain, and enforce IT security policies covering acceptable use, device security, and data handling
• Manage endpoint security including antivirus, MDM, and device encryption
• Own access control and identity management across all company systems
• Monitor for security threats and respond when issues arise
• Support compliance requirements and conduct periodic security audits
• Maintain data backup and business continuity processes

IT Training & Enablement

• Deliver IT onboarding for all new hires covering systems, equipment, and security expectations
• Build and maintain an IT resource library of how-to guides and FAQs
• Lead annual company-wide security awareness training including phishing simulations

• Medical, Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance benefits
• 401(k) with company match

What to Expect
