Director of Marketing

Company Overview

Every year, hundreds of thousands of businesses shut down, yet the process remains messy, expensive, and underserved. At SimpleClosure, our mission is to make business shutdowns seamless, compliant, and stress free, because closing a company shouldn’t feel harder than starting one.

We recently raised our $15 million Series A and were named one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies of 2025. Backed by top investors and trusted by hundreds of startups, we’re rapidly establishing ourselves as the technology leader in this space. Join us and make an outsized impact as we create innovative solutions for businesses, their teams, and their stakeholders.
