Sofar Singles Event Promoter (specify your city - revenue share only)
Note: While this is a freelance role, candidates must be local to the market in which they are applying.
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.
What You'll Do:
Who You Are:
Compensation:
This Freelance Singles Event Promoter role is compensated through a revenue share model based on event performance. Earnings are directly tied to revenue, which is distributed to cover artist payments, gig insurance, and the Curator payments. Actual earnings may vary depending on factors such as show volume and total revenue.
Event Promoters are also eligible for sponsorship commissions for any sponsorships they sell, and may receive coordination fees for their assistance executing any partnerships sold by the global team.
Promoters are expected to maintain profitability across all events. If an event incurs a loss, that amount will be recouped from a future profit-share payment.
Other Details:
Some cities may already have active event producers or multiple roles available. You must be comfortable working alongside other producers and collaborating as part of a shared market, particularly in larger cities with multiple neighborhoods or vertical expansion opportunities.
Autonomy and support: You will lead locally while accessing global resources, training, and support from the Sofar team.
Flexible schedule: Events often take place on evenings and weekends.
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.
