About Sunset
Sunset helps tech startups shut down by handling all the legal, tax, and operational burdens associated with winding down. We are the one-stop shop for dissolutions, ensuring founders and investors avoid penalties, reduce liabilities, and can immediately move on to what's next.
In just 1.5 years, we’ve helped over 200 venture-backed startups shut down, generating millions in revenue and raising millions from some of the world’s best investors.

This role is not for you If:
Mission Alignment: You aren’t excited by Sunset’s mission of helping founders move on to what's next, and supporting them through a challenging time.
Early-Stage Challenges: You’re not interested in early-stage startups.
Location: You don’t live in NYC or want to move to NYC.
Work Environment: You don’t want to work in person, 5 days a week in Dumbo, Brooklyn.
What success looks like in this role:
Shaping the Product Vision: Based on real-world problems that our customers and team are facing.
Shipping World-Class Products: Helping us deliver products on-time and without surprises.
Synchronizing with the Team: Ensuring everyone knows how to sell it, market it, adopt it, and onboard onto it.
In the first 6 months, you'll:
Learn: Immerse yourself in everything Sunset, our customers, and the dissolution process. Gain a comprehensive knowledge of our products, services, and industry landscape.
Analyze: Talk to our customers, internal team members, and partners to distill core problem areas and an end-to-end user journey.
Roadmap: Start owning the product roadmap alongside the C-Suite.
Ship: Own new features end-to-end, taking them from ideation to launch.
Measure: Start building dashboards and key metrics that help us know what success looks like for our customers and product team.
UX: Advocate for incredible user experiences, ensuring simplicity, elegance, and functionality in every feature we ship.
Benefits:
At Sunset, we believe in taking care of our team. Our comprehensive benefits package includes:
Health Coverage: We cover 100% of premiums for medical, dental, and vision insurance, offering the best and most comprehensive plans available.
Generous Time Off: Enjoy 20 days of Paid Time Off (PTO) per year, plus 9 company-wide holidays.
