About Us

Sofar Sounds is a global community that connects creatives and audiences through unique and intimate experiences. We transform everyday spaces – from living rooms and rooftops to boutiques and museums – into captivating venues for live performances, creating inclusive events that bring people together to create space for discovery, community and connection. Founded in London in 2009, Sofar now operates in 400+ cities worldwide. The majority of these cities are run by a globally connected network of independent event organizers, empowered and supported by our distributed team.

We are deeply passionate about the work we do. When we’re not working, you can probably find us at a live show or telling anyone in earshot about the new song we can’t stop listening to. Discovering and supporting artists gets us out of bed every morning – and knowing that we’re creating memorable, intimate fan experiences worldwide drives our work forward.

The Role

As a Freelance Local Producer, you’ll join a global network of entrepreneurial community builders and tastemakers, collaborating and learning from peers around the world while shaping the cultural landscape in your city. Our Producers have strong business instincts, cultural fluency, and deep local networks they can activate - from artists and venues to brands and community partners. They’re natural promoters who are passionate about creating impactful and memorable pop-up experiences that provide opportunities for real-life, meaningful engagement. Producers are resourceful, proactive, and driven; whether it’s figuring out how to creatively sell tickets or dealing with a live event curveball, they know how to get things done and thrive on the challenge.

This is an entrepreneurial, independent role designed for self-starters who want meaningful ownership over how Sofar shows up in their local community. You’ll be supported by Sofar’s Global Communities team and have access to training, resources, and opportunities to connect with other creators around the world.

If this sounds like it’s up your alley, we can’t wait to meet you!

*Please note that this is a freelance, commission-based partnership, not a traditional employment role, offering flexibility and ownership in exchange for accountability and initiative. While the schedule is self-directed, much of the work naturally happens during evenings and weekends, when live events and community engagement come to life.

What You'll Do:

Strengthen Sofar’s brand in your local community, promoting and selling tickets in your city with self-directed local marketing tactics.
Create a vision to build and execute your city’s strategy - number of monthly shows, neighborhoods, show theme ideas, etc.
Lead curation and booking for experiences in your city with the highest-quality, diverse set of artists and venues, continuing to grow our networks, as needed.
Own the staffing and quality of shows in your local market, working to ensure magical experiences that are rooted in hospitality
Manage your city’s financial performance, ensuring financial success and health of every event
Build relationships with local businesses to drive sales of sponsorships and private events
Identify and build relationships with local organizations with like-minded audiences to build community, broaden our reach, and co-promote shows.
Collaborate with other local leaders to grow your city through diverse experiences that generate buzz and amplify Sofar’s brand awareness
Support Sofar’s Business Partnerships and Global Communities teams by ensuring high-quality curation and seamless event operations for inbound partnership opportunities that elevate the Sofar brand

Who You Are:

You have a strong pulse on your city, the unique nature of each neighborhood, and where people like to spend their free time
You’re a natural connector and excel at building relationships with diverse community-driven organizations, media partners, or local businesses that would add strategic and financial value to your vertical's growth
You understand how to promote and build strategic alliances that will ultimately sell more tickets at our shows
You take pride in your work and approach every opportunity with professionalism and ownership, ensuring the best experience for artists, venues, partners, and guests.
You have exceptional time management skills and are a clear communicator
You can work autonomously, but understand the importance of remaining connected to the broader organization

Our global Sofar team is deeply passionate about music and the work we do. When we’re not working, you can probably find us at a live show or telling anyone in earshot about the new song we can’t stop listening to.

If our mission and job opening resonates, you're encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn't precisely match the job description. We are committed to creating a culture of belonging and building a diverse team that reflects a variety of lived experiences, perspectives, and skills.
