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 6 years, Posh has grown to a team of 70, expanded to 10M+ users, secured $70m in venture funding, and facilitated over $400M in transactions.
About the RoleThis is a sales team, we call it Partnerships, but this team acquires the organizers who bring new events, and new GMV, onto the platform. As an Account Executive, you own the full sales cycle: sourcing, demoing, closing, and getting an organizer's first event live and collecting its first dollar. We call it Partnerships because we're not just closing a deal and moving on, we're looking to genuinely support organizers as they grow. Success is measured in two numbers: organizers activated, and GMV grown underneath them. You'll focus on organizers where speed, volume, and sharp qualification matter as much as relationship-building.
This role reports to our Head of Sales and sits on the Partnerships team. It is strictly in-person, 5 days a week, at our SoHo, NYC headquarters, with roughly 10% travel to industry events, conclaves, and customers.
You're joining at a pivotal moment for Posh's go-to-market motion - the strategy, playbooks, and standards you help set now will define how we build a world-class Partnerships org as we scale.
