Lead Category Launcher, New Verticals

We are all social creatures, but the dominant “social” companies today have evolved into digital loneliness machines, driving isolation, anxiety, and mental health challenges across our lives.

Human connection is lost. Posh is a beacon guiding us back.

Posh enables anyone to become an event organizer, build a community around their followers, and bring people together in person to cultivate real-world human connections. Founded by event enthusiasts and college dropouts, we’ve built the ultimate tools for creating, marketing, and monetizing in-person communities globally. In just three years, Posh has grown to a team of 60, expanded to 5M+ users, secured $40m in venture funding, and facilitated over $220M in transactions. We've achieved more than teams ten times our size in a tenth of the time—and there's so much more to come.

Posh is expanding into new frontiers, and we’re looking for a Lead Category Launcher to lead the expansion into building out the supply of new event categories (ex: Art & Fashion, Fitness, Food & Drink, Networking, etc).

This role is equal parts strategist, operator, and entrepreneur. You’ll be the “mini-CEO” for our next big category launch, taking a boots-on-the-ground approach to building a community of organizers, understanding their needs, and collaborating internally to evolve Posh into a valuable platform for their unique use cases. You’ll partner across teams to design, execute, and scale new business lines that shape the future of how we connect IRL.

If you thrive in ambiguity, love building from zero to one, and have an analytical mind, you’ll feel right at home here.
