Creative Director

About the Company

Posh is building a platform that helps people create and discover in-person communities centered around shared interests. The company was founded by event organizers who wanted better tools for growing event-driven brands and addressing the isolation many people feel in increasingly digital lives. In six years, it has reached a team of 70, grown to more than 8 million users, raised $70 million in venture funding, and supported over $350 million in transactions.

The brand is positioned as a key differentiator for the business. As the company scales beyond 10 million users, the creative identity must help establish it as a cultural home for IRL community rather than just another events platform.

Role Overview

The Creative Director will be responsible for shaping the company’s visual and creative identity from end to end. This includes defining how the brand shows up across every channel, leading internal and external creative partners, and maintaining a consistently high standard across all campaigns, assets, and experiences. The role is both hands-on and leadership-focused, with a strong expectation to create directly while also directing work at scale.

This position reports to the CEO and works closely with Product and GTM leadership. It is a full-time, on-site role based in the SoHo office in New York City, with a 5-day in-office schedule.

Core Focus Areas
