  • Establish relationships with key media, from radio sites to local event listings, and arrange programs to get customer leads and sell tickets
  • Rollout repeatable programs provided by the Marketing and Community Partnerships teams to grow Sofar in a well-organized and scalable way, with an emphasis on community and audience diversification
  • Contribute local social posts and content ideas, and capture content that engages our local audience and represents the city’s demographics and cultures

  • Share local information with the marketing team for editorial content and programming
  • Support Concert operations by finding new unique venues for our shows
  • Collaborate across different Sofar teams, both local and regional teams - communicating success stories, key learnings, programs and their impact, and other activities
  • You’ll also discover a lot of great new music, from your city and around the world

Requirements

  • Energized by meeting new people and bringing them together, particularly across cultures
  • An excellent communicator, both in writing and speaking
  • Committed to diversity, inclusion and representation
  • Excited about a scrappy startup culture; you’re organized and work well autonomously, but remain connected to the larger team
