Role details
Job description
About Sunset
At its core, Sunset was founded to help founders. We started by supporting startups through shutting down, but we've since expanded into unlocking a new revenue stream for all types of businesses. In 2025, we earned a secret: the data every company generates on a daily basis (collaboration, communication, building) is some of the most valuable training data in the world. Public and synthetic can only get frontier models so far, so the next generation of model progression depends on real, proprietary data grounded in how actual businesses operate. We're a primary source of it, partnering directly with the frontier AI labs building what's next.
Why join Sunset now:
- We've scaled from $0 to a multi-eight figures run rate in a matter of months
- We've raised from top-tier investors (Floodgate, Afore, Ludlow, Hustle Fund, etc.)
- We're small enough that you'll carry outsized responsibility and grow as fast as the company does
- You'll partner and build for the fastest and most important companies in the world
- You'll be a part of building a massive, category-defining business from the ground floor
The Role
Sunset is hiring a Business Development Representative for the Data Partnerships team. You'll be the first point of contact for operating companies exploring a new revenue stream through data licensing. Your primary responsibility will be building qualified pipeline for our Account Executives and maintaining a high standard in every interaction.

- 12+ months of SDR experience: or a consulting, closing, or operations role with clear quota ownership
- You're relentless and don't slow down after hundreds of no's
- Comfortable going after healthy, ongoing companies with no urgent trigger pushing them to say yes: persistence matters even more here
- Technically sharp enough to speak to the data/de-identification angle if it comes up
- Always look for ways to improve and iterate
- High EQ and IQ: sharp and credible, not a stereotypical hard-sell rep
Bonus
