Creative Director

About Posh

Posh is building a platform that helps people form real-world communities around shared interests. The company was started by event organizers who wanted a better way to create, monetize, and grow event-led communities. In a few years, Posh has reached a team size of 70, grown to more than 8 million users, raised $70 million in venture funding, and processed over $350 million in transactions.

The company believes brand is a durable advantage that can grow without code. As Posh expands beyond 10 million users, how the brand looks, sounds, and feels is central to becoming more than an event platform and instead becoming a cultural home for IRL communities.

Role Overview

As Creative Director, you will lead Posh’s creative identity across the full brand experience. You will define the visual direction, set the creative standard across every customer touchpoint, and guide both in-house and external creative contributors. This is a hands-on leadership role where you will personally produce key work while also building the systems and talent that help the brand scale.

The role reports directly to the CEO and works closely with Product and GTM leadership. It is based in person at the SoHo office in New York City, five days per week.

Scope of Work

Your responsibilities span two core areas: building the brand and culture presence, and creating a consistent go-to-market creative system. The first includes identity, campaigns, content, merchandise, partnerships, and event activations across digital and IRL channels. The second ensures creative consistency across brand marketing, product marketing, paid media, lifecycle, sales enablement, community materials, and in-product experiences.

Responsibilities

• Shape the next phase of Posh’s visual identity, design language, and creative principles, and document them so internal teams and external partners can work from the same standards.
• Personally produce a significant share of the most important work, including hero campaigns, social assets, merchandise drops, and company moments.
• Build and manage a scalable network of agencies, contractors, studios, photographers, and motion artists, while maintaining a high quality threshold for all output.
• Create systems, templates, and review processes that keep brand, product marketing, performance creative, sales decks, community assets, and product moments visually aligned.
• Partner with Growth and Product Marketing to improve the consistency and effectiveness of paid, lifecycle, and launch creative.
• Act as a strong internal champion for the brand by challenging work that does not meet the standard, leading critique sessions, and helping non-designers develop stronger creative judgment.
• Stay closely connected to trends and culture in music, nightlife, fashion, creators, and live events, and use those influences to inform the brand’s output.
• Use AI tools for imagery, video, and ideation to speed up iteration, broaden creative exploration, and increase output.

Requirements

• At least 7 years of experience in design, art direction, or creative roles, including 2+ years in a Creative Director-level or similar position with end-to-end ownership across brand and performance work.
• A strong portfolio showing campaign work, brand systems, merchandise, motion, social content, and partnerships, along with both hands-on creation and leadership of larger systems.
• Comfort working both as a maker and as a leader, with the ability to create directly in tools such as Figma or After Effects and also provide clear direction to agencies and freelancers.
• Strong familiarity with music, nightlife, events, and IRL culture, supported by real engagement, relationships, and references in those spaces.
• Advanced ability with Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and modern motion tools, plus regular use of generative AI for image, video, and ideation work.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for briefs, leadership presentations, and cross-functional alignment.
• Ability to work quickly and maintain a high output without sacrificing quality, knowing when to refine and when to ship.
• High emotional intelligence, with the ability to give and receive direct feedback, manage external partners thoughtfully, and collaborate well across teams.
• Prior in-house creative leadership experience at a consumer brand at Series B–D scale is a plus, especially at a brand that overperformed relative to its size.
• Hands-on experience in motion design, photo direction, or film production is a plus.
• Personal creative work outside full-time employment, such as an art practice, label, zine, collective, or newsletter, is a plus.
• Experience collaborating with musicians, artists, venues, or labels on creative partnerships is a plus.
• A strong personal connection to events, nightlife, or the communities Posh serves is a plus.
