What are the responsibilities and job description for the Director of People position at POSH?
About POSH
Humans are fundamentally social creatures, but the largest “social” companies today have evolved into purely digital content providers, exacerbating the isolation, loneliness, and mental health challenges plaguing our society. POSH enables anyone to manage and monetize an IRL community centered around their shared interests and backgrounds, bringing people together in-person to cultivate real-world human connection.
Founded by event enthusiasts and college dropouts, we’ve built the ultimate set of tools for organizers to scale social communities and for consumers to find IRL experiences tailored exactly to who they are.
In just three years, POSH has grown to a team of 30, expanded to 3M users, secured $31M in venture funding, and facilitated over $100M in transactions.
