About The Position

Posh is a platform dedicated to fostering genuine human connection through IRL communities based on shared interests. Founded by event organizers frustrated with the growing loneliness epidemic, Posh provides the ultimate platform for launching, monetizing, and finding communities. In six years, Posh has grown to a team of 70, reached over 8 million users, secured $70 million in venture funding, and facilitated over $350 million in transactions. As the company scales, Posh's aesthetic, lifestyle, and culture are crucial differentiators. The Creative Director will own the visual and creative identity of Posh end-to-end, defining its look and feel across all platforms, leading internal and agency talent, and setting the standard for all creative output. This role involves defining the brand's future visual identity, creating key assets personally, and managing external partners to scale creative efforts. The work spans Brand & Culture (identity, campaigns, content, merchandise, partnerships, event activations, storytelling) and the GTM Creative System (ensuring brand cohesion across marketing, product marketing, performance creative, sales enablement, community, and in-product experiences). This role reports to the CEO and collaborates with Product and GTM leadership. It is an in-person position at the SoHo NYC office, 5 days a week.
