'marked later' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech. However, adjectives and past participle verbs sometimes define each other.

'job out of fashion' is the wordplay.
'job' becomes 'post' (post is a kind of job).
'out of fashion' becomes 'dated' (I've seen this in another clue).
'post'+'dated'='POST-DATED'
