About The Position

About Posh
We are all social creatures, but the dominant “social” companies today have evolved into digital loneliness machines, driving isolation, anxiety, and mental health challenges around the world.
Human connection is lost. Posh is a beacon guiding us back.
Posh enables anyone to build an IRL community based on shared interests, while connecting consumers with the communities of people just like them. Founded by event organizers who were frustrated with the growing loneliness epidemic and the tools available to build their own event brand, we’ve built the ultimate platform for launching, monetizing, and finding IRL communities of people just like you. In just 5 years, Posh has grown to a team of 65, expanded to 7M+ users, secured $70m in venture funding, and facilitated over $300M in transactions.
About The Role
We are looking for a Director of Sales to lead, coach, and scale Posh’s sales team through our next stage of growth.
This is not a “manage from the dashboard” role. We need a true player-coach: someone who has personally sold, managed high-performing sellers, built repeatable systems, and knows how to get in the trenches while still operating strategically.
You’ll inherit a strong foundation: four fully ramped sellers hitting quota, one coming off ramp, and one new hire. Your mandate is to raise the bar across the team, hire and ramp three additional sellers, and build the operating cadence to exceed monthly and quarterly targets.
You’ll lead through coaching, call review, structured 1:1s, pipeline rigor, hiring, onboarding, market expansion and cross-functional partnership. One any given week you should be equally comfortable jumping on a prospect call to close a key partnership, diagnosing why a rep is missing quota, rebuilding an onboarding plan, or traveling into a new market to land strategic accounts
