What Wikipedia says

A posadnik (Russian: посадник, pl. посадники, posadniki) was originally a representative of the ruling prince in some towns during the times of Kievan Rus'. Following its disintegration, the posadnik became the highest-ranking official in the Russian cities of Novgorod (from 1136) and Pskov (from 1308).
