Sofar Sounds

Freelance Producer, Dance

Freelance Producer

The Freelance Producer for Dance will be responsible for organizing and promoting dance shows to build a strong community in New York City. The role involves curating and booking high-quality, diverse dancers and venues, ensuring exceptional show quality, developing and executing marketing strategies, promoting and selling tickets, creating promotional content, and building relationships with local organizations. This is a 4-month fixed-term contract with commission-based pay, requiring a flexible schedule including evenings and weekends.

<b style="font-size: 16px;">About Us</b>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 16px;">Sofar Sounds is a global community that connects artists and audiences through unique and intimate experiences. Sofar shows transform everyday spaces — from living rooms and rooftops, to boutiques and museums — into captivating venues for intimate gigs, creating inclusive experiences that bring people closer together. Founded in London in 2009, Sofar creates space where music and arts matter in 400 cities around the world.</span>
<br>
<br>
<b style="font-size: 16px;">The Role</b>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 16px;">Until this point, Sofar’s experiences have mostly been centred around live music. We are now looking (and excited!) to expand our shows into other creative arts, including dance. We’ve had recent success with our pilot and are now looking for a Freelance Producer to own and grow Dance into a thriving Sofar event vertical in New York City.&nbsp;</span>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 16px;">As a Freelance Producer, you’ll organize and promote shows to build a strong and vibrant Sofar community in your city around Dance. You’ll be a true Sofar ambassador – partnering closely with the central Concerts and local city operations and marketing teams to produce exceptional shows, conceptualise and execute local marketing initiatives, and expand Sofar’s footprint in the dance community.&nbsp;</span>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 16px;">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 performers, locations, 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!&nbsp; </span>
<br>
<br>
<b style="font-size: 16px;">&nbsp;*Please note that this is a 4-month fixed-term contract.</b><span style="font-size: 16px;"> 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.</span>
