Curators 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.
\n
\nThis is an entrepreneurial, independent role designed for self-starters who want meaningful ownership over how Sofar shows up in their local community. This role encompasses all aspects of event planning and curation, marketing and promotion, and overall event execution. 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.
\n
\nIf this sounds like it’s up your alley, we can’t wait to meet you!
\n
\n*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.

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 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 build Sofar's presence and bring in new audiences through the promotion and curation of impactful live programming. You’ll join a global network of entrepreneurial community builders and tastemakers who delight in influencing their local cultural landscape. Our event 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 requires building new audiences through active promotion and marketing; success will not rely on an existing customer base or passive demand. You’ll be supported by the Sofar 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.

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.
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. The role encompasses event planning and curation, marketing and promotion, and event execution. 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.

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.
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. The role encompasses event planning and curation, marketing and promotion, and event execution. 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.

Regardless of the setting, each Sofar experience is an invitation to be truly present. To learn more: www.sofar.com, @sofarsounds.As a Freelance Pop Culture Events Producer, you’ll conceptualize, curate, produce, and promote Sofar experiences inspired by the cultural moments, fandoms, and media obsessions shaping the world right now. From artist singalongs and film-themed performances to immersive events built around iconic franchises, viral trends, award shows, or major releases, you’ll create experiences that tap into the passions of highly-engaged fan communities.
\nOur Pop Culture Producers are trend-hungry and culturally fluent.

You instinctively know which moments will resonate and which fandoms will actually sell tickets. You’re creative enough to transform those cultural touchpoints into unique formats – live-scored screenings, themed performance nights, community watch-alongs, singalongs, or unexpected experiential twists – and strategic enough to reach the fanbases that will show up for them.
\nLike all Sofar Producers, you’re entrepreneurial and resourceful – whether you’re rolling out a concept tied to a global phenomenon, jumping on a viral trend, or bringing a local cultural moment to life.

Our Curators 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. Curators 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.
\n
\nThis is an entrepreneurial, independent role designed for self-starters who want meaningful ownership over how Sofar shows up in their local community. This role encompasses all aspects of event planning and curation, marketing and promotion, and overall event execution. 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.
\n
\nIf this sounds like it’s up your alley, we can’t wait to meet you!
\n
\n*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.
","descriptionBodyPlain":"Note: While this is a freelance role, candidates must be local to the market in which they are applying.\n\nAbout Us\n\nBorn 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 while expanding to comedy, singles, dance, and more — all connected by Sofar's renowned track record for discovering rising talent.\n\nCountless mainstage performers like Billie Eilish, Jack Harlow, Chappell Roan, Leon Bridges, Olivia Dean, YEBBA, Teddy Swims, Remi Wolf, Hozier, and Lola Young have played 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.\n\nNo 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.\n\nThose 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.

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. 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.

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.

","openingPlain":"While this role is hybrid, candidates must be based in the designated city.\n\nAbout Us\n\nBorn 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 while expanding to comedy, singles, dance, and more — all connected by Sofar's renowned track record for discovering rising talent.\n\nCountless mainstage performers like Billie Eilish, Jack Harlow, Chappell Roan, Leon Bridges, Olivia Dean, YEBBA, Teddy Swims, Remi Wolf, Hozier, and Lola Young have played 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.\n\nNo 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.\n\nThose 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.\n\nThe Role\n\nAs 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. \n\nThis 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. 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.\n\nIf this sounds like it’s up your alley, we can’t wait to meet you! \n\n*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.

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
It's just a gig, but everyone's single.
Our Sofar Singles events are designed to get people off of the apps and into real life, in a low-pressure environment designed for enjoying music and connecting with people. As a Freelance Sofar Singles Event Promoter, you'll launch our Sofar singles vertical in your city and nurture the growth of the brand as it scales. You’ll be a true Sofar ambassador, collaborating with other Producers in your city as you build a strong and vibrant following for Sofar Singles. You'll identify and book compelling spaces for these pop-up events, curate incredible musical lineups, execute local marketing initiatives to fill the room, and deliver exceptional experiences designed for connection.
Singles Events Producers live and breathe community experiences. You’re always discovering unique venues, experiences, and ideas that create meaningful connections, and you have networks you can easily tap into to organize unforgettable events (think venues, partners, local businesses, performers, etc.). Like all Sofar Producers, you’re entrepreneurial, resourceful, and driven – whether it’s creatively selling tickets or handling a day-of-event curveball, you know how to make things happen and thrive on the challenge.
*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.
