  • Lead a high-performing content team, fostering a culture of creativity, collaboration, and innovation
  • Stay culturally connected across music, entertainment, and broader creative industries to ensure Sofar remains at the forefront of conversation

  • A cultural insider with a pulse on trends in music, entertainment, and digital media
  • An experienced leader with a track record of managing content teams and driving impactful content strategies
  • A hands-on doer—someone who isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and get in the trenches with the team
  • A strategic thinker with an experimental mindset, constantly testing and iterating to drive results
  • A commercially savvy creator, able to craft compelling branded content opportunities without compromising Sofar’s identity
  • Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple projects and priorities simultaneously. 


Preferred experience
  • 7 years of experience in content strategy, video production, or social media, ideally within the music, entertainment, or media industry
