Create a vision to build and execute your city’s strategy—number of monthly shows, neighborhoods, show theme ideas, etc.
Lead curation and booking for experiences in Cincinnati with the highest‑quality, diverse set of artists and venues, continuously growing our networks as needed.
Own staffing and show quality, ensuring magical experiences rooted in hospitality.
Manage your city’s financial performance, ensuring financial success and health of every event.

Collaborate with other local leaders to grow your city through diverse experiences that generate buzz and amplify Sofar’s brand awareness.
Support Sofar’s Business Partnerships and Global Communities teams by ensuring high‑quality curation and seamless event operations for inbound partnership opportunities that elevate the Sofar brand.
Who you are:
You have deep connections to the Cincinnati scene and play an active role in building community around it.
You have 3–5 years of experience in live event curation, production, and promotion.
You have experience selling event sponsorships or marketing activations, preferably in the live events or experiential marketing space.
You’re confident pitching ideas and event concepts to potential sponsors and have a track record of closing partnership deals.
You have a strong pulse on Cincinnati, the unique nature of each neighborhood, and where people like to spend their free time.
You’re a natural connector and excel at building relationships with diverse, community‑driven organizations, media partners, or local businesses that add strategic and financial value to your vertical’s growth.
You understand how to promote and build strategic alliances that ultimately sell more tickets at our shows.
You take pride in your work and approach every opportunity with professionalism and ownership, ensuring the best experience for artists, venues, partners, and guests.
You have exceptional time‑management skills and are a clear communicator.
You can work autonomously while remaining connected to the broader organization.
Our global Sofar team is deeply passionate about music. When we’re not working, you’ll likely find us at a live show or sharing the latest track we can’t stop listening to.
If our mission and job opening resonate with you, you’re encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn’t precisely match the 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.
We may use artificial intelligence tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
