Responsibilities
- Lead curation and booking for shows in your city, sourcing high-quality, diverse artists and unique venues
- Build and execute your city's event strategy: show frequency, neighborhoods, themes, and growth plans
- Own staffing and show quality for your events, ensuring every guest, artist, and venue has an exceptional experience (we'll facilitate payment for event staff and provide robust customer service to attendees)
- Manage financial performance, keeping events profitable and healthy
- Identify and partner with community organizations to broaden Sofar's reach and co-promote shows
- Support inbound global brand partnership activations with seamless, high-quality event execution
- Collaborate with other Sofar producers globally to share what's working and grow the network
Requirements

- You have a strong read on your city: the neighborhoods, the audiences, and where cultural energy lives
- You're a natural relationship-builder with a track record of closing deals and cultivating lasting partnerships
- You are the marketing engine for your city, using social media, community relationships, press, and grassroots tactics to fill every show
Nice to have

- You have 3-5 years of experience in live event curation, production, or promotions
- You have deep roots in your local scene and an existing network of artists, venues, and community connectors
- You know how to sell tickets, not just produce shows.
- You have experience selling event sponsorships or marketing activations, ideally in live events or experiential marketing
Visa & Work Authorization
- Sofar's reputation unlocks better venues, higher-quality artist bookings, press opportunities, and brand partnerships (Sony, Visa, Delta, and more) that are harder to access independently.
