Job Description

Fever is the world’s leading tech platform dedicated to culture and live entertainment. With a mission to democratize access to culture and entertainment, Fever uses proprietary cutting-edge technology and a data-driven approach to revolutionize the way people engage with live entertainment worldwide. The platform inspires over 300 million people monthly across more than 55 countries, helping them discover unforgettable experiences while empowering event creators with valuable data and technology to scale, innovate, and enhance their events to reach wider audiences. Fever’s impressive partnerships include major industry leaders like Netflix, F.C. Barcelona, and Primavera Sound. The company is backed by prominent global investors, solidifying its position as an innovator in the entertainment space.

Fever Originals has introduced an exceptional concert series called Candlelight that has been redefining classical music concerts since July 2019. These intimate classical music concerts take place in candlelit settings within some of the most unique and undiscovered venues around the world, including cities in France, Spain, Portugal, and major U.S. cities like Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago, with plans for further expansion. Through Candlelight, Fever has made classical music accessible to general audiences by creating a unique and memorable experience for every attendee. Currently, Candlelight concerts are held in over 300 cities around the globe and continue to grow rapidly.
