In 2017, Posner joined Verition Fund Management, a hedge fund founded by former Amaranth Advisors' executives, as a vice president.[7][8] Prior to that, she advised companies on investor relations and strategies.[5]
While working in quantitative finance in 2018, Posner observed the closure of several physical retail stores, attributing it in part to the rise of online shopping.[5][1][9] Based on this observation, she co-founded StyleScan, a B2B software specializing in AI, where she is CEO.[10][11][12] In July 2022, Posner was became a co-inventor of "System and Method for Rendering Clothing on a Two-Dimensional Image," which underpins StyleScan's depth-based virtual-try-on platform.[13]
