We’re looking for a Manager, Art & Design Direction to lead the visual expression of our brand across content, campaigns, and digital experiences. This is a player-coach role for someone with exceptional taste, a strong design point of view, and the ability to execute at a high level while managing and mentoring a small team.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As Manager, Art & Design Direction, you will sit at the intersection of brand and content, shaping how Poshmark shows up visually across every touchpoint — from social and editorial to campaigns and brand moments.

You’ll partner closely with the Fashion & Creative Director to translate strategic vision into compelling visual execution, while setting the day-to-day creative standard for your team. This role requires someone who can move seamlessly from concept to execution — equally comfortable building a campaign mood board as they are working in Figma or AI-assisted design tools to bring ideas to life. Will be responsible managing all creative projects for the Revenue team.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

CREATIVE DIRECTION & VISUAL EXECUTION

• Own the visual direction for brand and creative content initiatives, from concept through final delivery

• Develop and maintain a cohesive visual language across all channels — social, campaigns, editorial, digital, and marketing collateral

• Concept and produce high-quality visual assets that reflect Poshmark’s brand and resonate with our community

• Bring a fashion-forward, culturally relevant perspective to all creative work, staying ahead of trends in fashion, retail, and visual culture

TEAM LEADERSHIP

• Manage and mentor a small team of creatives (designers and copywriter), providing clear, actionable feedback

• Prioritize and allocate work across the team, balancing creative quality with timelines and business needs

• Foster a culture of craft, curiosity, and high creative standards

• Partner closely with the Creative & Fashion Director to align on vision and escalate key creative decisions

PROJECT & PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

• Own the end-to-end creative production process: briefing, concepting, execution, review, and delivery

• Manage multiple projects simultaneously with strong organizational rigor (timelines, asset tracking, stakeholder reviews)

• Collaborate cross-functionally with Marketing, Product Marketing, Growth, Partnerships, and other teams to deliver impactful creative

• Ensure all deliverables are on-brand, on-time, and meet a high quality bar

TOOLS, ASSET MANAGEMENT & CREATIVE OPERATIONS

• Stay current on emerging design tools, AI-assisted creative workflows, and new platforms

• Introduce new processes and efficiencies without compromising creative quality

• Champion the use of best-in-class tools across the creative workflow

• Own and maintain the shared creative file system, including:

  • Folder structure and organization

  • Naming conventions and version control

  • Access management across teams

• Establish and enforce standards to ensure creative assets are scalable, accessible, and easy to use across the organization

• Serve as the central point of coordination for creative assets, ensuring seamless collaboration across Brand, Marketing, and cross-functional teams

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

CREATIVE & DESIGN

• 5–8 years of experience in art direction, design, or creative content, ideally within fashion, e-commerce, or consumer brands

• A strong portfolio demonstrating exceptional taste across typography, color, composition, and visual storytelling

• Experience directing and producing both still and motion content (photo, video, social, campaign)

• Deep interest in fashion, style, and visual culture

TECHNICAL SKILLS

• Expert proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere)

• Strong working knowledge of Figma and design systems

• Familiarity with AI-powered creative tools (e.g., Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, RunwayML, or similar)

• Experience designing across digital formats: social, web, email, and digital OOH

Leadership & Management

• Experience managing or leading creative teams, formally or in a project leadership capacity

• Strong communicator who can provide clear, constructive creative direction

• Ability to balance hands-on creative work with team leadership responsibilities

Project Management

• Highly organized with experience managing multiple projects across stakeholders and timelines

• Comfortable using project management tools (e.g., Asana, Monday, Notion)

• Ability to scope work, anticipate risks, and keep projects moving efficiently

Bonus Points

• Background or strong interest in resale, secondhand fashion, or the creator economy

• Experience working with influencer or creator content workflows

• Familiarity with performance-driven or growth marketing creative
