Founded in London in 2009, Sofar invites discovery of emerging talent and local grassroots art and culture through one-of-a-kind live experiences—music, dating, comedy, food & drink, dance, and more—in surprising venues in 400+ cities globally.
From the top of an Oslo ski jump tower, to a catamaran in Cancun, and Aretha Franklin’s Detroit home, along with hidden museum rooms, private living rooms, and other urban nooks and crannies, Sofar transforms unlikely spaces into captivating venues for intimate gigs, curating inclusive experiences that bring people closer together.
THE ROLE
As a Freelance Producer of Culinary Experiences, you’ll organize and promote shows to build a strong and vibrant Sofar community in the food and beverage industry. You’ll be a true Sofar ambassador – partnering closely with the local LA city operations and marketing teams to produce exceptional events, conceptualise and execute local marketing initiatives, and expand Sofar’s footprint in the culinary community.
Our Producers have strong business sense, maintain a keen awareness of cultural trends, and have communities that they can easily tap in to organize amazing live events (including celebrity chefs, unique venues, 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: 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.
