About Sunset

Sunset helps tech startups shut down. We’re the 1-stop shop for dissolutions, handling all the legal, tax, and operational burdens that go into winding down. We make sure founders and investors avoid penalties, reduce liabilities, and can immediately move on to what's next.

In 1.5 years, we’ve helped over 175+ Venture-backed startups shut down, are generating millions in revenue, and raised $1.5M from some of the world’s best entrepreneurs and investors.

About the role

We’re looking for someone who can build new and nurture existing relationships with our channel partners (VCs, lawyers, accountants, and founders). Your work will have a direct impact on our company’s growth by increasing the number of qualified, top-of-funnel leads and expanding our network within the tech ecosystem.

This role is for you if:

• You inspire trust: You are polished, professional, and can clearly communicate to VCs, lawyers, accountants, and other C-level executives

• You’re in the top 1% of building & maintaining relationships: You have an incredible ability to build, nurture, and maintain long-term relationships, which eventually lead to sales or qualified leads.

This role is not for you if:

• Mission: You aren’t excited by Sunset’s mission of helping founders find what’s next

• Early-Stage: You’re not interested in early-stage startups

• NYC: You don’t live in NYC or want to move to NYC

• Travel: You don’t want to attend and host events/conferences

• Office: You don’t want to work in person, 5 days a week in Dumbo, Brooklyn

What success looks like in this role

• Growth: Your goal will be to grow the top of the funnel with sales-qualified leads in 2025

In the first 6 months, you’ll:

• Learn: Learn everything about Sunset, our customers, and channel partners

• Analyze: Audit and review all our existing data to uncover the highest impact, lowest effort referral sources. Create lookalike audiences based on your findings.

• Refine: Meet with existing channel partners to introduce yourself, understand their needs, and better hone our value proposition

• Execute: Create campaigns (both in-person and online) to build net new relationships with VCs, lawyers, accountants, and founders

• Repeat: Continuously stay top-of-mind with all our channel partners
