About Us
Sofar Sounds is a global community that connects creatives and audiences through unique and intimate experiences. We bring people together to create space for discovery, community and connection in non-traditional, unexpected places across 78 countries and growing.
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 Producer, you’ll curate, produce, and promote concerts and other live events to build a strong and vibrant Sofar community in Margate and surrounding locations. You’ll be a true Sofar ambassador – mapping out the strategy for Margate. You will be supported by the Sofar London team as you produce exceptional events, conceptualise and execute local marketing initiatives, sell local sponsorships and private shows, and expand Sofar’s footprint.
Our Producers have strong business sense, maintain a keen awareness of cultural trends, and have communities that they can easily tap in to organise amazing live events (including performers, unique locations, sponsors, etc.). They’re entrepreneurial, resourceful, 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. If this sounds like you, we can’t wait to meet you!
*Please note that our Producers are freelancers who earn commission-based pay. It will allow for a flexible schedule, but your activities will likely take place over weekends and evenings.
