SimpleClosure is the leading platform for company dissolutions and asset management, having raised $20M+ and serving 7,000+ companies. The company streamlines the entire business shutdown process and operates Asset Hub, a marketplace connecting dissolved company assets with buyers including AI labs, RL environment providers, and enterprise AI teams.
You will own and grow buyer-side partnerships across the AI ecosystem, originating and closing complex, high-value licensing deals. Your core responsibilities include: identifying which organizations need which assets (pre-training corpora, post-training/RL data, codebases, specialized datasets); structuring and negotiating commercial terms including MSAs, licensing structures, exclusivity, and pricing; translating buyer needs internally to shape how supply is sourced and packaged; and staying ahead of a fast-moving market in training methods and data vendor competition.
This is a senior, high-autonomy role requiring deep knowledge of the AI data and model-training ecosystem. You should have 7+ years in BD, partnerships, or commercial roles with meaningful time in or adjacent to AI/ML. Ideal candidates have prior experience at an AI lab, RL environment company, or data/evaluation vendor, or have sold to/partnered with those organizations. You need a track record originating and closing complex partnerships, comfort structuring licensing terms alongside legal, and enough technical fluency to earn credibility with researchers without being an engineer. An existing network across labs and the AI ecosystem is a strong plus.
You'll represent Asset Hub credibly with senior technical and commercial stakeholders, build repeatable playbooks and infrastructure for scaling partnerships, and operate as a self-starter comfortable with ambiguity in a young, fast-moving business. The role is based hybrid in New York (Midtown) or San Francisco, with flexibility to work remotely within those metros.
