Director of Marketing

Company Overview

Most companies don't end in acquisition — they end in closure. Yet shutdown has never been given the same rigor, clarity, or professionalism as the moments that came before it. Nearly 4 million companies shut down every year, creating a massive, overlooked market. SimpleClosure is building the infrastructure to change that.

Having raised over $20M from leading VCs and trusted by more than 7,000 companies to date, we streamline the entire business dissolution process — from legal and tax to operational and administrative — as one coordinated effort instead of a patchwork of disconnected steps. We take it a step further by connecting founders with buyers for their remaining assets, so they can realize value that would otherwise be lost.

Joining SimpleClosure means helping define an entirely new category, solving complex, high-impact problems, and building the products and processes that support founders through one of the most important moments in a company's journey.

Job Overview

We’re hiring a Director of Marketing to own and operate the full marketing engine at SimpleClosure. This is a senior, execution-heavy leadership role for someone who thrives in structure, clarity, and accountability.

You will translate company strategy into repeatable marketing systems that drive predictable, measurable growth. This is not a brand-only or vision-only role, it is a systems-oriented, performance-accountable role with full ownership of how marketing operates day to day, from people and process to performance and planning.

Marketing at SimpleClosure is central to our ability to deliver predictable, durable growth. The Director of Marketing will play a critical role in turning momentum into a system, and ensuring the company is positioned to compound growth over time.

You’ll report to the Head of GTM and Revenue.
