<h5>Freelance Local Producer </h5>While this role is hybrid, candidates must be based in the designated city. Born in a London flat in 2009, Sofar began as an answer to a growing problem: live music had lost its magic. It blossomed into a global movement that kept music at its heart whileexpanding to comedy, singles, dance, and more — all connected by Sofar's renowned track record for discovering rising talent. Countless mainstage performers like Billie Eilish, Jack Harlow, Chappell Roan, Leon Bridges, Olivia Dean, YEBBA, Teddy Swims, Remi Wolf, Hozier, and Lola Young haveplayed Sofar shows early in their careers. More than just a gig, Sofar empowers artists by providing a professional platform that spans both the physical and digital worlds, handling everything from booking and promotion to filling the room, while granting artists access to an ecosystem of opportunities including brand partnerships, a powerful content engine, and global media placements. No two Sofar shows are the same, but each pairs world-class live experience with beautiful and unique spaces — from a ski jump, cave, boat, or hidden museum room, to private living rooms, gardens, and rooftops. Regardless of the setting, each Sofar experience is an invitation to be truly present. Audiences fully immerse themselves in the performance, using their devices not as an escape, but as a tool to support the artist and stay connected to the community. Those of us who work at Sofar are deeply passionate about what 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. <h5>The Role </h5>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. The role encompasses event planning and curation, marketing and promotion, and event execution.
