Position Overview
While this role is hybrid, candidates must be based in the designated city.
As a Freelance Local Producer, you will join a global network of entrepreneurial community builders and tastemakers, collaborating and learning from peers around the world while shaping the cultural landscape in your city. Producers have strong business instincts, cultural fluency, and deep local networks they can activate—from artists and venues to brands and community partners. They’re natural promoters driven by their passion for creating impactful and memorable pop‑up experiences.
Please note that this is a freelance, commission‑based partnership, not a traditional employment role, offering flexibility and ownership in exchange for accountability and initiative. The schedule is self‑directed, with much of the work naturally occurring during evenings and weekends.
