Sofar Sounds is a global community that connects artists and audiences through unique and intimate experiences. Sofar shows transform everyday spaces – from living rooms and rooftops, to boutiques and museums – into captivating venues for intimate gigs, creating inclusive experiences that bring people closer together. Founded in London in 2009, Sofar creates space where music and arts matter in 400 cities around the world.

Our global team is distributed across the US and UK, and is backed by some of the best-known consumer industry investors (TCG, Battery Ventures, Union Square Ventures, Octopus and others).

As an Associate Producer, you’ll support the Lead Producer in curating, producing, and promoting concerts and other live events that strengthen Sofar’s community in your city. You’ll play a key role in bringing each event to life – helping with curation, logistics, local marketing, partnerships, and on-the-ground execution – all while being supported by your city’s Lead Producer and the central Global Communities team.

Our Associate Producers have strong business sense, maintain a keen awareness of cultural trends, and can easily tap into their local networks to help organize amazing live events (including performers, unique locations, sponsors, and more). You’re entrepreneurial, resourceful, and driven; whether it’s assisting with creative ticket-selling ideas or navigating a live event curveball, you know how to get things done and thrive on the challenge.

If this sounds like you, we can’t wait to meet you!
