Leads Researcher - 3 month contract

About Posh

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 5 years, Posh has grown to a team of 65, expanded to 7M+ users, secured $70m in venture funding, and facilitated over $300M in transactions.

Overview

We’re looking for a sharp, high-judgment researcher to help us identify the right people and companies to invite into curated events and communities.

This is not a generic lead generation role. We care about who actually belongs in the room and understanding meaningful real connections, not just building large lists.

This is a 3**-month independent contractor role**, with the potential to extend based on performance and business needs.

The role is structured around deliverables and outcomes, not fixed hours. As a contractor, you will have flexibility in how you approach the work and manage your time.

Scope of Work

  • Identify and deliver ~1,000 qualified organizations (leads) per month

  • Research and identify high-quality individuals within specific industries (LinkedIn, Instagram, web, etc.)

  • Map individuals to companies and surface net-new, relevant accounts

  • Apply judgment to determine:

    • Who is influential or relevant

    • Which companies align with target event audiences

  • Provide structured outputs for enrichment and outreach

How Work Is Evaluated

  • Quality and relevance of organizations identified

  • Consistency of output (targeting ~6–8 high-quality organizations per hour equivalent)

  • Clear reasoning behind why individuals and companies are a strong fit

What Success Looks Like

  • You consistently identify decision-makers, connectors, or high-signal operators

  • You avoid low-quality or irrelevant companies

  • You understand nuance (e.g., not all founders or creators are equal)

  • You prioritize quality over speed

This Role Is NOT For You If

  • You’re looking for a full-time salaried role

  • You primarily do data entry or bulk scraping

  • You rely on tools without applying judgment

  • You optimize for volume over relevance

Ideal Background

  • SDR / outbound sales

  • Recruiting / talent sourcing

  • Market research / analyst roles

  • Growth / GTM operations

Tools & Collaboration

  • You may use your preferred research methods and tools

  • We use platforms such as LinkedIn, Instagram, Clay, Airtable, and HubSpot

  • Access to internal tools will be limited to what is necessary for deliverables
