Our global Sofar team is deeply passionate about music and the work we do.

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
We’re looking for freelance music event professionals in Atlanta to join a community of Promoters promoting and producing unique, intimate concerts focused on music discovery and building local community.
As a Freelance Promoter, you’ll build a strong and thriving Sofar community in your city, curating and supporting local music. You’ll help to create amazing shows and grow the Sofar community, bringing your own creativity and hustle. This is an incredible opportunity for folks who want to start or continue building their career in the music industry. You’ll make connections, see the industry behind the scenes, and work with a team who is just as passionate about music as you are. We’re excited to hear your insights and on-the-ground perspective!

Requirements

Our Promoters live and breathe music. They’re always on the cutting edge of discovering new sounds across genres, and have communities that they can easily tap to organize and promote amazing live events (including artists, locations, sponsors, etc.). They are super resourceful and driven – whether it’s figuring out how to promote an early-career artist 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 that our Promoters 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.
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.

Sofar Sounds

Sofar Sounds reimagines the live event experience through curated, secret performances in more than 400 cities around the world. Cofounded in London in 2009 by Rafe Offer and Rocky Start, Sofar brings guests and artists together in unique locations, without the distractions that plague other live events. Sofar shows begin as a secret: guests sign on for three unnamed performances at undisclosed locations, hosted by community members in everyday spaces — from living rooms and rooftops, to retail stores. Through the transformation of these spaces into captivating venues, Sofar serves as a platform for artists to connect with engaged audiences in cities around the world. Sofar invites guests to discover new artists, spaces, people, neighborhoods and cities, whether at home or abroad, creating an inclusive and accessible global community where people make genuine connections.
