Event Promoter Rep - Washington DC

Furtado Global · Seattle, WA, USA ·

Pay:
$2-$3/hr
Job type:
Contract

Furtado Global is building a roster of trusted local reps to run our live shows on the ground — city by city.

We're hiring local reps in:

NYC
London
Washington DC
Los Angeles
Atlanta
Toronto
Miami
Philadelphia
Houston
Dallas
Chicago
Bay Area
Boston

(Plus occasional shows in Seattle, Las Vegas, Charlotte, New Orleans, Detroit, Austin, Nashville, and more.)

THE ROLE
You'd be Furtado Global's person on the ground on show day — our on-site promoter rep and the primary point of contact at the venue. We handle all the advancing internally; you'll get the full brief, show notes, tech sheets, and day sheet ahead of time. Your job is to execute it flawlessly.

On show day you'll:

Coordinate and oversee load-in and load-out with venue staff and crew

Make sure hospitality, the green room, and rider items are set up right

Troubleshoot tech issues fast — sound, staging, lighting, power

Look after the talent — greet them, manage their needs, keep them comfortable and on schedule

Keep the show on time and adapt calmly when plans change last minute

Send the internal team a quick post-show wrap

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Proven live-event / show-production experience — you've run or stage-managed live shows, club nights, or concerts before

Sound knowledge — you're a proficient sound engineer, or you have solid working knowledge of live audio and can speak the language with FOH/venue techs

Grace under pressure — you handle last-minute changes in a high-pressure environment without losing the plot

Reliable and detail-obsessed — you read the brief, follow the day sheet, and sweat the details

Great with people and talent — professional, warm, and able to keep artists happy

Local to one of our markets — you live in the city you'd cover and can work shows there without travel (covering a nearby market within a 2–3 hour drive is a bonus)

THE DETAILS

Freelance / independent contractor (1099), paid per event

Competitive day rate — $250–$600 per show depending on market, show size, and call length.

Paid promptly after each event.

Evening and weekend availability when shows happen
