Job Description

Sofar Concerts is a globally renowned live music and cultural events company that originated in London in 2009. The company began as a creative solution to revitalize live music experiences, which they felt had lost their authentic appeal. Over time, Sofar has grown into a worldwide movement that primarily focuses on live music but has expanded its offerings to include comedy, dance, singles, and other unique performance formats. The company is celebrated for discovering and promoting emerging talent, with many now-famous artists such as Billie Eilish, Jack Harlow, and Hozier having performed in Sofar shows early in their careers.
